Is the custom RAM from iFixit not working after Monterey upgrade?
I had bought the 2018 version of Mac Mini in 2020. The last intel chip in mini. I used the iFixit kit to upgrade the RAM from 8 GB to 64 GB and it worked fine for a year. Suddenly after the Mac OS Monterey update the custom RAM just does not work and keeps crashing the mac.
It was actually quite difficult to debug that the issue was in the RAM. Now that I have, I can reliably reproduce the issue and am now stuck with the original 8 Gigs of RAM.
Is anyone else having this issue ? Has anyone solved this so far ?
Is this a good question?

Although my non-OEM RAM isn't from iFixit, I had the same issue beginning with Monterey. I tried safe mode, rebuild, SMC and PRAM resets, the fix was to reinstall the OEM RAM. No panics for a week now, whereas I was getting two to seven per day since upgrading to Monterey and it's accompanying firmware updates.
