I'm having issues with my PC crashing randomly, getting Blue Screens of Death (BSOD) and unexpected restarts. I have two 8GB RAM sticks, one is Corsair and the other is HyperX, both running at 3200MHz but they have different CL timings. I suspect that these mismatched timings are causing the problems. What should I do to fix this?

To troubleshoot the BSODs, try to collect your minidump files. They contain crash logs that can help diagnose the issue. If you can boot into Windows, check for any files in C:WindowsMinidump. If you find any, zip the folder and upload it to a file sharing site. Multiple logs are ideal. If you don't have any, consider switching your dump settings to capture them better. Just remember to use something like MediaFire to share the files, as image hosting sites often get blocked.
Have you thought about adjusting the timings on your faster RAM stick? Sometimes lowering the timings to match the slower stick can help stabilize the system. It might be worth giving that a shot!
Yes, I tried that already.
