Legion 5 Pro 16IAH7H - Crash to Black screen or sometimes pixelated screen after upgrade to 32gb RAM

I have finally been able to recreate crash to black screen at will... But why does it do this???

 

I upgraded to 32gb RAM Teamgroup elite DDR5 2x16gb 4800MHz

Using chrome browser I open youtube tab and play it on display 1 (laptop display)  works fine for however long I want.

Open a different tab and leave it on display 2 (34 inch GIGABYTE) as soon as I press play on a video display 1 goes black and display 2 freezes with everything still appearing and computer is non responsive.

Same thing happens if I play two different videos on one of the screens and move one to the other screen.

 

I did a complete memtest86 totaling 4 hours with 0 errors on the new 32gb RAM.

I changed back to the original 16gb of RAM from factory and it never crashes.  With multiple videos and games going on different screens.
