    I know you don't know much about PCs, so I'll just give you the gist.

    You made two mistakes this time.

    • The first is that you did not replace the memory with a set of 2 cards when you added the memory.
    • The second is that you mixed the original memory with new memory that has different specifications.

    In order to operate in dual-channel mode, a set of memory with the same specifications must be incorporated.

    The original memory is 4GB and single rank. The new memory is 16 GB and dual rank.

    On CPU-Z, it appears to be operating in dual channel, but in reality, only 4GB of the new memory is operating in dual channel, and the remaining 12GB is operating in single channel.

    Furthermore, your early, older Ryzen systems are difficult to match up with memory.

    No offense, but you should buy the memory that comes in a set of 2 cards and get both cards new at the same time.

    And for the memory bundled in the set of 2, choose the single rank.

    Hi wimpy! I recognize you from the old discussion I had with the same issue. Appreciate the response. My laptop actually came with a 4GB ram stick for some reason and I bought it because the store had no other options at the time. I was able to play DBD even with just that much ram during the past without issues.

    Thinking that the ram sticks might be mismatched or the old one is faulty, I tried running DBD with only the new 16gb ram stick as well. The game still has the glitching issue. Do you think that my laptop is simply too old to run DBD or that the GPU is dying? Maybe I just need to get a new pc? Feel free to roast my pc btw, no holds barred, I don't mind. Haha! ๐Ÿ˜‚

    I don't know if I'm allowed to mention this, but I'm having the same issue with another game called Devil in Me from the Dark Pictures Anthology. I also can't play that game due to the similar glitching issue. Playing some YouTube videos can also be annoying because sometimes there are random black and green pixels. I know that something is wrong with my pc, but I'm perplexed that it only occurs in some games or some YouTube videos.

  • Understood. Thank you for your explanation, I'm new to the forum so I still don't understand how things work. I'm going to move my discussion to the Tech Sub Forum and hopefully get my issue fixed. Thanks! ๐Ÿ˜
