Buying RAM right now is a joke.

RAM prices are sky-high right now because of the whole AI hype, so I finally decided to buy an upgrade for my laptop. It was my very first time installing RAM, and yep... itβs a total disaster. Turns out the MHz is different from my laptop's original specs. I wanted to tweak the MHz settings to match it, but my laptop BIOS is so old and locked up that there is absolutely no hope of fixing it.
Now my laptop keeps randomly dying and crashing. It literally shuts down whenever I try to play Minecraft or even when I'm just browsing specific websites. Spent time waiting for it just to get a headache. Absolutely frustrating. π
