Question Memory Management

[Fantazye Kompiuter]

I just built a new PC and I'm getting this BSOD error but I don't know whether it's my RAM or Video card.
Here are my specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
ASRock X470 Master SI/AC (Something like that)
Corsair Vengance LPX 16 GB
Gigabyte Low Profile Silent Geforce GTX 1030 Ti

The operating system is installed on a solid state drive and everything else is on a hard drive.

I've done a few tests myself. I ran memory diagnostics and found nothing, then I ran CHKDSK and that turned up with nothing, then I reinstalled my graphics card driver and I'm not sure that did anything. Is there anything else I should try, or does anyone have a solution?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Edit: I was playing around with some programs that might be causing it and I found that the only time it does this is when I'm copying files, specifically linking files to iTunes. Anyone know why this is happening?

So it’s just what I thought your CPU is probably bad

What would you recommend doing?

Make sure you have no bent/missing pins on the CPU.

I know it doesn't. I looked over it when I first opened it. It's probably faulty. I'm going to return it and get a different cpu. Probably a ryzen 7. Thank you so much for your help!

So I bought a ryzen 7, put it in, and it still doesn't work. What the heck?! This is so infuriating! If you have any more advice, I would greatly appreciate it!

Well, it seems to be down to the motherboard and/or the memory at this point. What Ryzen 7 model are you trying to install?

We're looking at tons of RAM because I noticed that the RAM that we bought isn't compatible based on the QVL from ASRock's website. Do you have any recommendations for what to look for?

 

[COLGeek]

QVLs are not all inclusive. Far too many makes/models for that. What is the exact/full model of the memory you have now?

It is Corsair Vengeance LPX (2 x 8) DDR4-2133

CMK16GX4M2A2133C13

Basic DDR4 memory. Should be okay at base 2133 speed. Have you tried booting with only one stick installed?

No but I'm pretty sure it's just not compatible. The box they came in says supports Intel i7 and Intel core. I'll try with one stick when I get home, but I'm almost positive it's because it's incompatible. Do you think so, and if so, is there a brand or model I should try?

 

[COLGeek]

There are memory optimized for AMD chipsets, but the memory you have is compatible, technically.

I would rather get RAM that works out of the box with my CPU. I want to try a RAM that is already optimized. Any suggestions?

Where are you buying from?
