Odd PC Behavior

[DiabeticSeizures]

Hi all.

Lately, I've been blue-screening for no reason I can pinpoint. Recently, to fix it, I've done things like

1. Replace thermal paste on the CPU
2. Reseat CPU
3. Replace SATA data cables
4. Reseat GPU
5. Reseat RAM

A couple of weird behaviors I've picked up in Windows are:

• Webpages randomly crash.
• MemTest86 throws up 303 total errors when using all four sticks of identical RAM, but they all pass when by themselves
  (I've included the test results PDF of all four sticks running simultaneously. MemTest86-Report-20230927-211924.html)
• Random programs get reset to default settings.
• Malwarebytes cannot start up every protection module like Malware Protection or Ransomware Protection.
• Random programs crash at random.

None of these behaviors show up when running only two of the four sticks of RAM. All of the weird behaviors above only started tonight after changing the order of RAM sticks on my motherboard.

Does anybody have a clue about what's going wrong in my system? Any assistance on what might cause these issues would be greatly appreciated!

If you know what caused the weirdness, I'm assuming you've tried undoing that?

Do you have xmp (or its AMD variant) enabled ? if yes try without.
