Hello, 

As you might have seen from the title of this video, I need some help (linked to ram)

I've recently bought two ram sticks.

One of them is faulty (An 8 gig, 2133)

You might be wondering, how do I know that? Because after all of this troubleshooting, I tried each ram stick, and voila, the 8 gig one doesn't work. And now I'm stuck to 4 gigs.

Whenever I use the 8 gig, my computer crashes/ temporarly freezes/ freezes/ freezes the application/game.

Anyways, is there a way to fix this issue? (If you've got any questions, just comment them, I'd gladly answer them)

There is no easy way to "fix" a faulty memory stick. If you bought the kit recently, you should be able to return it or get it replaced.

Welp, recently actually means almost 30 days ago- I spent some time to find out why was it crashing.

That maybe so, but most memory kits have quite decent warranty. You should be able to request RMA.
