Unreal engine freezes when launching the game after upgrading RAM

guys i upgraded my ram from an 8GB single channel to 32GB dual channel 3600MHz ram and ever since i’m experiencing long freezes when i hit the play button, why is this happening?
and the weird thing is this only happens in unreal, my other programs and games are running flawlessly.

This is old as my grandma, but may be usefull (and seek for something newer with: tweaking ram in bios)

Your bios is probably set for ras/cas of old RAM, you need to tweak it for new one.
However be carefull to not mess those settings.

If you have no idea about bios settings, go there save biose settings to profile.
Then write down harddrives, which one boots etc, and reset bios to defaults.

PS make sure all ram dimms are seated corectly, also dig out manual for your motherboard and check which slots should be populated for your ram config.

i know how to tweak my ram and i’ve already done all of this. and just like i mentioned this only happens with unreal and it only happens when launching the game. im sure its not related to the hardware
