Motherboards Used: GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Elite AX ASUS Prime Z790-P WiFi LGA 1700 Memory: x4 CMK64GX5M2B6400C32 (128gb total) CPU: 12900k Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 HD: x2 WDS400T2X0E (4tb editions) PSU: evga supernova 1000 g6 Let's begin from the start. I ran this system with a 4090 for roughly a year, mainly for gaming. I never pushed it overclocked, kept temperatures low, avoided high heat sources, and didn't use any extreme RAM configurations. Later, I tried converting it into a server using Proxmox—it functioned, but I encountered some kernel panics. I'd shared those before with some Proxmox communities, suggesting maybe RAM or memory issues were the cause. Recently things deteriorated so much that I decided to start fresh. Even a clean installation would freeze halfway through, and after about five minutes of logging in, the interface would panic. I experimented by swapping out the NVMe drives, testing different SATA connections, checking RAM dimensions, etc., but it was chaotic. Eventually, I bought a new motherboard, thinking it'd be a waste, but it ended up being a total mess. In the end, I realized I couldn't get the 4DIMM slots to work with the XMP profile. I tried 1, 2, and 3 at a time, and only 1 worked reliably. But 3 or 4 didn't seem to run at all. It's frustrating—I can't seem to resolve this problem. I've never built a PC or run servers before, and I spent a lot of money and effort. Now I'm stuck trying to figure out what's going wrong. I've used Proxmox on both modern and older hardware without issues, so maybe someone else has faced the same challenge. PS: Installing Windows 11 made things worse—I ran benchmarks nonstop for days without any problems. Could it be that Proxmox requires more advanced settings?

Consider reducing the clock speed of the RAM. That might improve stability.
