I had 2 Kingston 8GB DDR5 sticks and recently added 2 more identical ones from a friend, bringing my total RAM to 32GB. Initially, everything was running fine, but now my PC keeps crashing with the message, 'your PC has run into a problem, restarting PC.' I'm wondering if I need to tweak something in the BIOS or if my system just can't handle the extra memory. Here are my specs: Motherboard: Z690 Phantom Gaming 4/D5, GPU: 3080TI, CPU: i5-12600k, Processor speed: 3700MHz, and Memory: 32GB (4 sticks of Kingston 8GB, DDR5-4400). Did I miss any important info?

Have you checked if the timings of your RAM sticks are the same? Different timings could cause issues. It's worth ensuring they all match up to avoid any conflicts.
In my BIOS, they all show as DDR5-4400, so it seems like they should be good.
