I recently acquired a 16GB dual-channel setup and installed it. Previously, I used an 8GB stick that functioned well on its own but didn’t work properly with another 8GB unit (the details aren’t clear). Then I purchased RAM, but it’s been causing issues since. I frequently encounter BSOs and errors such as Kernel Security Failure. My PC operates normally for some time before suddenly crashing—either instantly or after a couple of hours. The Memory Diagnostic flags hardware problems, yet I’m curious if the RAM might be the issue instead. Here’s the product link: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07WJJH...UTF8&psc=1 This is the exact RAM model I bought. My system specs are: Intel i5-9600k (not overclocked), MSI Z390-A Pro CX750, 1TB Seagate and 2TB Seagate GTX 1070. Feel free to ask for more details.

Did you set up the new module, only adding those two connectors on their own? If yes, they should fit in the 2nd and 4th positions next to the CPU. Are you applying XMP, and is it causing a blue screen or does the module handle it without it (like a clean CMOS reset)?

Check your BIOS on your motherboard by searching online and include "bios update" in the results. You should find a link with the latest update and instructions. Also, consider installing an older RAM module during the update to prevent damage. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z390-A-PRO There’s a December release that might resolve your problem.

It's just the two sticks by themselves. They're positioned in the 2nd and 4th places. I'm skipping XMP, but since they're the same sticks from the same set, I'll give it a try—though I don't think XMP will make much of a difference.

I was just wondering if XMP was merely unreliable. If the system encounters issues with stock data, it would be better to send them back in my view. Unless updating the BIOS as before is effective...
