I got the error such as incompatible or faulty RAM modules on PC

My computer keeps crashing with memory-related stop codes like PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA, and I've narrowed it down to what I believe is a RAM compatibility issue or a faulty module, since the crashes occur more frequently under heavy load or when all memory slots are populated. I've tested each stick individually and the system runs fine with just one module, but as soon as I install both, the crashes return, so I'm looking for any advice on BIOS settings, voltage adjustments, or other troubleshooting steps before I go out and buy a new matched kit.

    Check your motherboard’s QVL (Qualified Vendors List) for compatible RAM modules. Ensure your RAM modules are of the same type, speed, and timings for best compatibility.
