guys, i think the RAM i bought was faulty ;_; first i had that blue screen, now my web browser is crashing with a seemingly memory-related crash, and i had steam and discord both reset themselves.
I wonder if this is also why I've been having trouble with stable diffusion. My problem got worse right before my browser crashed. No models at all were returning results. I know it definitely wasn't causing the memory leak with my game because somebody else corroborated that.
