Windows CRASH upon RAM removal

Hey folks, I've just built my first PC and I've encountered something strange .. I set up the build with 32 gb ram (4x8gb) (for rendering purposes) on a b450 mb, but the memory speed was terrible so I decided to remove 2 ram sticks to make it dual channel just to test it out, but windows ju st kept on crashing, even after bios reset, so I put the ram sticks back and everything seems to work perfectly, any idea how to resolve the problem?

(pardon my english, not a native speaker)

I would suggest that you see if there is a newer BIOS available for your motherboard. A lot of the time later BIOS revisions have memory compatibility improvements.
