wouldnt eveneven would be recognize by the system o r my pc just wont turn on and thats not the case pc turns on and works fine but it random freeze to the point i have to hard reset the Pc, thats why i think maybe it could be a PSU-Ram combination problem or just the ram
im cheking the Bios update to see if that fix the problem
