I suspect you don't have nearly enough RAM to run Max. The OS alone will often take 10GB just to load up and run the machine. That only leaves 6GB for Max. At a minimum, you really need at least 32GB but really you need 64GB of RAM if you want a frustration-free experience with Max. It's just the nature of complex programs like Max, it doesn't run very reliably on the bare minimum system.  I know that machine is marketed as a gaming machine, but just because a machine is great for gaming, even with a hot mobile RTX GPU, that doesn't necessarily make it sufficient for 3ds Max's needs. Very few programs tax a computer more than Max and you have to be prepred to spend a good deal on a computer if you want to run it without issues. 

If you can max out your RAM, I think you can put 32GB in that machine, you'll be able to run Max a bit better and your machine won't cache out to the hard drives when it runs out of RAM. That's why things are so slow. Even SSD hard drives are many magnitudes slower than RAM.

That sounds like a hardware issue that is completely unrelated to Max. Yes, Max will use all of the RAM it has available if it needs it, but that's not a bug or defect in Max. Other programs will do the same thing. 

Your issue sounds hardware-related. I'd pull the RAM out and then re-insert it, making sure it is seated perfectly. Then, I'd run some tests on it. Make sure the timings are correct for it in the BIOS and that it's not overclocked or some other BIOS setting is incorrect for the machine. You'll need to use your computer manufacturer's data, forum and documentation to do that. 

Then, run tests on the RAM. Search the web for programs that fully test RAM for errors. There are a few free ones out there. This one is one of the oldest and best-known ( https://www.memtest86.com/ ). Once you get your machine tuned in and settled down, Max should run better.

You'll still have to watch your RAM usage though. If you see it run out, things really slow down and can get unstable. I have 128GB and I see my RAM usage creep up to 110GB all the time. However, doubling your RAM like you did will help you a lot. You just need to get your machine dialed in properly I think.
