Question New build, possible RAM issue?

[satellizer]

Hi guys, I am having issues with my PC not running at all (random blue screens right away) when using BOTH ram sticks (A2/B2 as per the board manual). However, when I use only one RAM, pc boots perfectly fine, but every app/game crashes with error, and sometimes PC just freezes so I have to hold the power button to shut it down. Then, I tried testing RAM with MemTest86 with only one RAM running, ended up getting bunch of errors. Referring to the images from the test, does anyone here know what these mean? Looking forward to your wisdoms!

CPU: R5 7600X
Mobo: B650-A Rog Strix
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 32GB (16GBx2) RGB DDR5 6000MHz CL36
GPU: RTX 3070 Suprim

Looks like that ram is faulty. Have you updated your bios yet? There might be some patches to improve ram compatibility. Not sure if that can affect mem-test or not, but it's a free option.

Hi, I have the latest bios running, although ASUS just put up a new one few days ago which is still on beta. Reckon I should wait for it? Or just RMA the sticks?

Update: I got motivated to test the other RAM after your reply, and its looking good (fingers crossed). Looks like the other RAM is indeed faulty.
