Earlier today I upgraded my computer with another 8gb RAM stick but it was faulty so I removed it. Hours later, everything seemed to be running fine but randomly Firefox crashed then later my Fortnite and Discord crashed, freezing my computer for a few seconds as my main monitor disconnected (2nd monitor stayed on with Firefox open). Everything ran perfectly before today, but I first started encountering issues on the new RAM stick with both Firefox and Fortnite. I figured everything would fix after removing the new faulty stick, even reinstalling Fortnite after the removal just to be safe.
Edit: I read on a Fortnite forum post about the error message I received. It mentioned it could be the RAM or page file causing the crash. I forgot that earlier today I had changed my page file to the minimum 800mb. I didn't expect doing that to cause crashes, but due to the correlation I reverted it back to automated page file. Was that what was causing my crashes or is it just connected to a root issue from my faulty RAM installation?
