Could the RAM kill the computer?

The RAM strips were swapped in the laptop, after which the blue screens of death began to appear and a number of programs stopped working. After changing them, everything went away.
The next day, another 8GB die was bought and inserted instead of one for 4GB. The laptop successfully started and worked for some time, later programs stopped running with error 0xc0000022 and a bunch of similar ones.
After the reboot, the system stopped loading further than the boot circle on a black background (Windows 10). We tried all the options for combining dice (2 dice for 4GB and 1 for 8GB) in a 2-slot system.
What could be the problem? There is a suggestion that the disk fell down, but it's too good a coincidence.

One of the bars (namely, the one that was in the first slot and BSODed at the very beginning of the story) clearly has bad sectors and corrupts the data. There is a suspicion that the 8GB bar was installed right next to the bad bar, which is why the BSOD story returned. In the course of work, the system could well kill itself, corrupting some system file when resaving it from RAM. Now Windows needs to be rearranged. Or try to restore a half-killed system

Run MemTest86 for each bar

Well, it is necessary not to guess on assumptions, but to analyze the facts.
Is it really difficult to look at the SMART disk to make sure that it does not fray, and not guess more on this topic?
Memory sticks would also be nice to test.

Check the RAM sticks on another laptop individually, run their tests. Also check the hard drive on another PC and test it. Use liveCD
