It's possible the RAM issue lies elsewhere; checking memtest86 separately can help confirm if it's truly faulty.

I purchased the Patriot Viper Blackout series 32 (2x16, 3600mt) to avoid high costs in Eastern Europe. I bought RAM from Amazon and arranged shipping through a carrier. Because of that, I’m unlikely to be able to return it. Memtest86 detected errors on both drives soon, so there might be an issue. Could there be another way to fix this?
Check for additional processes on the PC. If possible, return immediately. Confirm downloading the OCCT and testing with it to verify MemTest results.
You likely have a RAM problem—there could be several causes. It might be because your system's memory controller isn't handling high-speed operation well, possibly due to the CPU model or the motherboard you're using. Also, the RAM itself could be faulty. Try setting it to 3200MHz and observe if the behavior changes.
What speed are you operating at? Also, share the remaining details of your specifications. Instability doesn't indicate a fault.
The test detected issues on both memory sticks, which is unusual. It’s unclear why both would fail at the same time. Switching the slots resolved the problem, so it might be a faulty stick.
