Sorry for the question but I have been reading articles all day and it has only made me more unsure. I would consider myself to be of moderate skill when it comes to building a pc but I know I'm getting old and a little out of date lol.
I had 2 kits installed, F4-3000C15D-32GVR and F4-3000C16D-16GISB with XMP on. I am wondering if 1 of my 16gbs sticks was faulty or was there an issue with mixing them.
The F4-3000C15D-32GVR are only a year old and I will be getting a replacement from the store (or a comparable kit if out of stock) so I am using 2x F4-3000C16D-16GISB while I wait.

Pc Specifics
MOBO: Asus Z270-a
CPU: Intel i7-7700k
Ram Slot 1: 16 gbs
Ram Slot 2: 8 gbs
Ram Slot 3: 16 gbs failed stick
Ram Slot 4: 8bgs
GPU: GTX 1060 3gb
EDIT
Built this system to what it is stated in the specs above on Sept 20 2020, earliest sign of issue was around May 2021.
When i checked the event log a Kernal Power 41 error was given and from the information i was finding online, this was likly caused by a PSU failure.
After doing some more digging with the info from the bug report out of window reliability history, I was finding more ram related articles and decided to do use Memtest86.
Testing the sticks one by one I found that the stick that was in slot 3 had 7434 errors. I reinstalled all the sticks minus the known faulty one and had no errors in Memtest nor did I have any issues when stress testing.
