Solution
Ram compatibility issue. It is recommended to use ram modules from same kit.
Since you're using ram modules from at least 3 different ram kits, you're facing compatibility problems.

Also possible that one ram module is either faulty or not compatible with your motherboard (server ram module).

Are you having an issue with a specific RAM stick?
- I.e. are you swapping out all RAM sticks to identify if one particular RAM stick is faulty?
- Different brand RAM sticks also cause issues.

Also repeat the same process for RAM slots themselves, is it a particular RAM slot that is the issue?

Please post your entire system spec for clarification too.

Agreed. We've seen this issue before so it's not surprising that you are having issues.

This is why RAM is sold in kits. Compatibility is guaranteed and if the consumer doesn't buy them in kits compatibility is not guaranteed. What you are experiencing is not a manufacturing defect.

I don't Think it's ram stick faulty because all ram are working standalone very well
