Hello, I own a Corsair Vengeance LPX with 3200Mhz RAM. I purchased a 2x8GB kit, but it triggers BSODs on my PC. At first I thought it was a software issue since Memtest didn’t detect any errors. The only time I’ve run overnight Memtest was 20 passes, yet BSODs still occur. Switching to Crucial Ballistix RAM eliminated the problems completely. It also causes BSODs on other systems that have been stable for years, even though Memtest showed no issues. Corsair mentioned they can send memtest results for RMA, and the reports look good. I’m unsure what to do next.

Consider alternative memory testing tools besides memtest86. You've noticed discrepancies with other programs like Linpack, HCI MemTest, and others, suggesting different strengths among these utilities.

Gigabyte motherboards struggle with XMP support on Alder Lake DDR4 despite BIOS updates. MSI and ASUs reportedly faced problems, but a BIOS update can resolve the issue if you need further assistance.

It's a Gigabyte board (Z690 Elite AX DDR4). It keeps showing BSODs even with XMP enabled, while other RAM works properly. I'm going to check the @RONOTHAN## recommendation.
