If your statement holds, you demonstrated weak memory retention and solid hardware support. The problem likely lies with the memory supplier. They typically provide lifetime guarantees for memory since these components seldom malfunction. Static electricity exposure might have compromised the memory as well.
My feedback centered on MSI as a business and its Intel motherboard, which isn't related to my problems with MSI's support team. The machine wouldn't post and couldn't access the BIOS, meaning any changes I made wouldn't have affected the RAM on this board or others. The RAM slot furthest from the CPU functioned properly, and it booted correctly with a single module installed, enabling OS installation.
The initial set of RAM might have been faulty. I verified this by removing it from a functioning machine and checking its performance. I mentioned this in my earlier post:
Their ideas are solid, suggesting suitable MSI motherboards for AMD configurations. Many appreciate the Tomahawk MSI board. I own the Carbon Gaming Pro, which offers a higher level than Tomahawk. The BIOS performs well, supporting any RAM installed at rated speeds, no matter the brand. I’m using the newest 1.0.0.4 AGESA BIOS.
I owned multiple MSI motherboards before, most of them worked well, but one failed completely. It cost me around $300 in RAM and I didn’t get a replacement board even though it was faulty. Their products are generally reliable, but when mistakes happen and bad items reach customers, their support is extremely poor. If you plan to buy from MSI, they should be aware of how disappointing their service can be.
I wonder why you haven't reached out to your memory supplier. Which model isn't functioning properly? Have you thought about the possibility of misplacing your DDR4 module by inserting it incorrectly or damaging the socket on the motherboard, forcing it backward and applying excessive force?
I have two memory kits in my story. The first was a brand new set of G skill Trident Z 3200Mhz CL15, and the second was a RAM kit with the same G skill Trident Z, which came from a working computer that had to be turned off to remove the RAM. In 2019 I assembled 21 computers: two for donation, six for friends, ten for personal use, and three for myself—including a SFF computer I brought to LTX19. I assisted my friend’s kids in building two computers so they could learn how. I’m confident enough to install RAM myself and could simply purchase new components instead of spending time dealing with customer service. I revisited the emails I sent to MSI and found three important points I’d overlooked. First, my motherboard was a Z30i, not a Z390i; I asked MSI if I could cover the difference to get a new one, but they didn’t respond. Second, they claimed no problems with the motherboard, especially after their technical expert reviewed my photos and shared my experience. By their policy, physical or liquid damage isn’t covered under warranty. The replacement motherboard was handled under warranty. Lastly, all their motherboard and video card replacements are refurbished, with sufficient parts to offer genuine refurbished options.
