I added 2666mhz 8GB RAM with same RAM in another slot to make 16GB just different company but screen keeps on freezing from time to time and whenever i start playing games BSOD occur either with DCP watchdog violation or stop code: IRQL not less or equal. Sometimes it happens without playing games too. And i never had this problem before adding RAM. Things i already did for solution are
- Windows Memory diagnostics - no error
- memtest-no error
- windows 11 update latest
- Checked for drivers update
- Checked for latest BIOS update
- Checked with 3200mhz RAM still same problem
- Interchanged the RAM in slots
My Laptop is Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54.
SK Hynix old RAM 8GB
Kingston new RAM 8GB
