Hey there. I just finished setting up a system and it initially worked in Windows but crashed during gaming. After running a memtest86, it showed more than 4000 errors. I thought updating the BIOS might help, so I tried that too. Now I keep getting BSOD on every boot. I haven’t upgraded RAM or CPU either. So far, I’ve assembled four units, but none have the same issues. I’m really unsure what to do next. My current setup includes: ASUS Z690 ROG Strix-E, Intel 12900K, DDR5 5600, and an EVGA 1080p FHD hybrid. I’m planning to get my 3080 cooler from RMA Corsair H170 Elite, plus NVMe drives like the 970 Pro, 980 Pro, Western Digital, and a WD Blue SATA. Any advice would be super helpful right now.

Start with the memory slots—DDR5 works best in slots 2 and 4 on the four DIMM boards. Check if XMP is turned on or if you're running at default speeds. Adjust to stock settings first and see if it improves. Your 12900K might have a weak memory controller, so consider changing to a different BIOS version. Test each channel individually to isolate the issue. If none of these steps help, it’s likely a faulty stick that needs replacement.

Start with resetting the CMOS circuit 2) Test one memory stick at a time, then both together

You're using A2 and B2, and you've checked xmp and stock in slot A2/B2. To access a previous BIOS, you'll need to navigate back through the BIOS menu settings. Let me know if you need more details!

It's acceptable to follow the same process as updating the BIOS. You can obtain an earlier version from ASUS's website by visiting the BIOS page and selecting "show all" in the fine print beneath the current download link.
