I have a e14 Thinkpad gen 5 Intel 1335u with 8gb soldered ram and a 8gb 3200 ddr4 stick. 16 is not enough ram for my use as a developer so I put a 16gb stick in knowing only first 16 will run dual channel. Now my computer crashes randomly with high memory usage… read online that a 32gb is more stable single channel but I’m skeptical. Stability is pretty important to me as this is how I earn a living what do you all think? Also I would just buy a 32 and try it but everything got pricey the last 2 month
s
ubuntu fresh 24.04 install. also it’s still usable as is but crashes before I hit 24gb usage
I don’t like Ubuntu, but objectively, this is probably a hardware issue and not a software issue.
I mean, you can try another distro to be sure, but the chances of it solving the issue are slim.
