i am using the following hardware on windows 10 21H1 version

Mobo: MSI z590 pro-wifi -BIOS version E7D09IMS.150 (Latest)
Memory: 32GB G-skill Ripjaws V - 2 sticks of 16gb DDR4-3200 F4-3200C16-16GVK
GPU: Asus Geforce 3070 8GB
HDD: 2 tb WD-Black SN850 Gen 4 NvME
Power: Thermaltake Tufpower 750w

For the last few months I was having all sorts of memory management BSOD's, throw in a few WHEA unrecoverable errors, on my pc with xmp enabled.
I ran multiple tests with Memtest86 both as a pair and each stick individually and came back with zero errors.

It caused so much corruption on my system that I decided to start fresh with a barebones install and just a few games. I also changed out the M2 drive (original went bad.)

I was running fine for 2 weeks and decided to try the XMP profile 1 and was ok for 2 days but just had another Memory management BSOD

So I am looking for some help. Any advice would be appreciated. I would really like to get the advertised speed on the memory I bought.
 
Do you have modules in slots two and four away from the CPU?

Did you memtest each module individually or together? XMP should be enabled for individual testing as well.

Is that a memory kit of two modules? or single sticks?

Yes. I have the memory in A2 and B2 slots away from the CPU.

It's a memory kit 2x16

Yes I tested the kit together in XMP and then tested each stick individually and i had zero errors. I ran each test for 16 passes.

I can re-run the tests again and post the results if that would be helpful.

I did notice on the sticker on the modules that it said XMP 2 .0 ready but my board is only allowing XMP1.

There is a newer bios....160.
Got the latest chipset driver?
 
Put one stick of ram in the proper slot.
Enable xmp.
Does it crash?


I didnt see your message until I was already at work. I will try your suggestion when I get home.

Before I left, I started a full kit Memtest run with XMP enabled. It was set for 16 passes, not sure how many I will get before I get home but as long as I get 4 good I will then do a test on a single stick and try your suggestion to Run Win 10 with just 1 stick with XMP enabled.

Thanks for your help
 
Update - I enabled the XMP Profile to run and set up a Memtest to run all 13 tests for 16 passes with all cpu's active in parallel, 64bit address mode.

I am going to run each stick individually thru the same 6 passes and post if I get some errors.

Then I will try what Bob suggested and to use 1 stick in A2 slot with XMP enabled and see if it crashes. Then I will do the same for the other stick.

Memtest results:
Full kit (2x16GB) Slots A2/B2 XMP Enabled- 6 full passes with zero cumulative errors in each - took 8 hours. CPU temps stayed low during the test 48c. Memory temps were unavailable.
DIMM 1 Slot A2 XMP Enabled - 6 full passes - zero cumulative errors. All cpu's active in parallel, 64bit address mode.
DIMM 2 - Slot A2 XMP Enabled -Pending

update. all memory tests with XMP enabled passesd memtest. Each test was 6 full passes with all 13 tests.

i was able to use 1 stick of Ram with xmp enabled in windows and not crash for a few hours. i need to test my 2nd dimm this way..

Still not sure what the issue is.
