I recently upgraded my RAM from 16GB (2x8) of Viper Blackout 3600MHz to 32GB (2x16GB) of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600MHz. For the first couple of days, everything was running smoothly, but now I'm experiencing frequent crashes—blue screens, black screens, overheating CPU, GPU failures, and game crashes. I'm at my wits' end and would really appreciate any help! My motherboard is an MSI B550 Gaming Plus, my CPU is a Ryzen 5 3600X, and my GPU is an RX 6700 XT.

You mentioned overheating issues. What are your CPU and GPU temperatures while you're gaming or benchmarking? Sometimes a faulty or disconnected fan can lead to overheating and crashes. Just a heads-up!
First off, try disabling the AMD SAM feature; it can sometimes cause instability after a RAM upgrade. You're not alone with this issue!
I had that disabled already, but thanks for the suggestion!
When benchmarking, my CPU hits about 76°C and GPU around 68°C, and all my fans are working fine.
