I recently shared an update about this situation, trying to find a solution. My setup includes a Strix B450F, a Ryzen 5 5600X, and currently 24GB of RAM (32GB usually). I have an RTX 3060 with an 850W Corsair PSU. The system has been stable for about a year now. Previously, I experienced occasional freezing issues where the PC would crash if shaken, though it rarely happened. This latest problem has been more persistent. Only three of the four RAM modules are functioning properly; one defective stick is present in my brother's build and works perfectly. The other three match his configuration. I haven’t overclocked anything, and all drivers are up to date. I haven’t updated the BIOS, but that might not be the root cause. I purchased the RAM in pairs of two—16GB initially, then added two more for 32GB recently. The issue seems to appear only when this particular stick is installed. When it’s placed in my brother’s machine, everything operates normally. The motherboard detects errors and lights up orange, preventing the PC from booting. I’m seeking advice on how to resolve this.
