I used to run 16gb of ram (2x8gb) Kingston FURY Beast Black 8GB DDR5 5600MHz CL40. I then tried to switch to 24gb buying one more identical ram stick and my motherboard ez debug cpu LED was just red. After a few tries I managed to boot windows and it shows the memory is there and works but after no more than one minute I keep getting BSOD with a different message every time. I tried buying one more ram stick and installing that and it does the same thing. I am running windows 11 with an RTX 3060Ti and an i9 12900k on an MSi PRO Z690-A WIFI, Socket 1700.

Your mobo can't run 4 sticks at 5600 MHz.
