Hey, I'm dealing with a Windows Server 2022 setup running on a Ryzen 7 7700 processor built into an ASUS TUF b650 Plus board. It has two 16GB Corsair 6000MHz RAM sticks and is essential for smooth operation. Recently, it started showing blue screens with errors like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT not responding to ntoskrnl.exe. I attempted to reinstall the GPU drivers and ran a chkdsk utility, which fixed some issues but didn't resolve them permanently. A MemTest86 run revealed around 150 errors, though it didn’t complete all four passes—just one error was enough to trigger the problem. I performed various scans and tests, swapping RAM modules and only using slots 2 and 4 as recommended for dual-channel performance. Interestingly, the RAM worked fine in some slots but not others, even when combined. I also noticed a strange behavior where one slot functioned correctly while the other didn’t, despite being tested multiple times. Besides these steps, I’ve restarted the system several times, and since swapping RAM, it seems to be working better now.
