I'm having a frustrating issue where my PC crashes only while I'm gaming. After it crashes, it boots into BIOS instead of loading Windows, and I can't find my SSD in there. To get back into Windows, I have to restart the PC. I ran a Windows diagnosis, and it indicated that there might be hardware issues. I've tried removing one RAM stick and changing slots, but it still crashes. I'm unsure if the problem lies with the motherboard or the RAM. By the way, I have an AliExpress Kilsre SSD.

You should try using Memtest86 (not the + version) to check your RAM. It sounds like Windows’ memory diagnostic might have pointed out some hardware issues, but running Memtest will give you a better idea of your RAM's status.
Make sure XMP is enabled in the BIOS. If you can’t find it and your RAM is running at 2666 MHz instead of 3200 MHz, that might be part of your issue. You might need to manually set the speed in your BIOS.
