Motherboard model: ASRock B550M Phantom Gaming
CPU: 5600X
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB @ 3600MHz
Placement: RAM installed in A2 B2, overclocked to 3600MHz.
Functionality: Worked for a few weeks initially, then PC stopped responding and USB powered off.
Reset BIOS, reinserted RAM in A2 B2 but still no response or power.
Tried other slots: Single RAM at B1/B2 failed; both A1/A2 worked.
A1 B1 didn’t work either.
A2 B2 also failed.
Considered the issue might be with the memory controller.

The memory controller resides on the CPU, not the motherboard. If you're using an aftermarket cooler, consider taking it off to check for improvements. Otherwise, the issue likely lies with your CPU or motherboard.

Check for visible components like the CPU and RAM. Test connectivity with a multimeter or by swapping parts. Look for error codes on the motherboard or system logs.

Take out a recognized functional CPU and motherboard. Ideally have both in hand for thorough testing.
