I'm running a complete PC setup for 4K gaming at 240Hz and I've hit some issues with games crashing, especially when tabbed out. Here's my current setup:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor
- **GPU:** Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 5090 32 GB Video Card
- **MOBO:** Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO ATX AM5 Motherboard
- **RAM:** Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory
Occasionally, I get a popup about "Memory issues". I'm thinking about upgrading my RAM to address this. Here are the options I'm considering:
1. Get another kit that matches my current setup to go with 4x16 GB.
2. Upgrade to faster RAM, like 6400 MHz or higher.
3. Replace my current RAM with something like 2x32 GB or 2x48 GB.
Price isn't really an issue for me, so I would appreciate any advice on how best to improve my system until I upgrade my CPU/GPU next generation.

You might want to consider that using four sticks on an AM5 setup can be less stable. If you do need to upgrade, sticking with 32GB should be more than enough for gaming alone.
I usually game with a lot of apps open too, and mine only crashes while gaming. So, just to clarify, do you think I should stick with 32GB or go for more?
