You've likely already tried adjusting XMP settings, but if not, consider sending it back via RMA. Others have suggested this might be the most reliable solution.

Yea, basically did every possible combination lol. When I first put in the 2x16gb kit sticks the PC crashes a few times. I assume each time it keeps lowering the frequency, because when i end up in memtest its running at like 2300mhz. I still think it is very unlikely that the actual RAM is faulty, because as I said it's running perfectly fine in two other seperate PCs. Another kit of the same RAM is running fine in other PCs, but not in mine. Maybe I'll just look for some other RAM and hope my mainboard can manage it. Ty though!

It might be a minor issue, but the signs on your particular motherboard could be weak too. Swapping it out would be possible, though it’s not easy.

I've tested on other PCs too... Could we swap the CPUs and check the RAM in both? This would help determine if the problem lies with the memory controller or the motherboard. If the same board fails with a different CPU, it's likely a motherboard issue. But if the same CPU fails with another board, it could point to a memory controller fault. And if both fail, it probably points to RAM.

Combine your RAM sticks in a mixed configuration. This means pairing one 1x16GB module with another 1x16GB and one 1x8GB module, giving you 24GB total. Your system will take advantage of dual-channel mode for both sets. Avoid running in flexible mode.
