RAM issues
It seems the processor didn't fit correctly. Luckily, it functions now!
I misunderstood. The fourth stick led to instability. Regardless, 3 out of 4 is still acceptable, particularly because the fourth one was behaving poorly earlier.
It seems there might have been an issue, and I’m curious if the board should handle a return or replacement. Please note this situation remains unresolved. Updated: February 10, 2023 by CaptainDarkstar42
It's likely a tiny dust particle entered your socks and triggered the problem. Socket oxidation might also be contributing to higher resistance at the connection point. Hopefully this resolved the issue. You should have checked your RAM with Memtest86. If it still reports errors, try swapping the slots or sending it back for replacement. (This helped when my PC failed with a memory error and I provided the test results.) Once XMP/EXPO is enabled and you retest, proceed. Using default settings works fine, but 64 GB can take several hours—possibly 5+.
