This might be a stupid question, but let me explain myself!

I've been having some issues with Destiny 2 lately (It closes to desktop without an error randomly) so I went digging into my BIOS and all sorts of other things and found something unusual..

Basically.....I have 4, 4gb (16gb total, DUH!) sticks of RAM in my computer, all of which are the same brand / model, etc. Two of the sticks say that they are running at 1333mhz while the other two say they are running at 1600mhz after I changed my BIOS settings back to default....Is this normal or---?

Would love to hear some tips on what to do / an explanation on why it's doing that. Thank you!

What are the system specs?

It should be fine as long as the system is OK with them and booting and working without any explicit instability.

You can try Memtest86 and see if the RAM sticks error. If they do and are faulty they could be the cause of crash/close to desktop.

You can get it from the link, put it on a USB flash drive, boot the system with it and check the RAM. It's better if you test one stick at a time. Put sticks in the slot which the motherboard manual designates for single stick configuration.
