[SOLVED] Possible Motherboard or CPU issue ?

[jellisellis]

Specs
Motherboard: Aorus B550 Pro AC
RAM: Corsair vengeance RGB Pro 3200Mhz
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x
GPU: Gigabyte 1050ti

When using my RAM in slots 1+3 I got crashes, so I ran the windows memeory diagnostic tool, which says “your computer has a memory problem”.

In slots 2+4 I don’t get this message, and also do not get this in single channel in any of the 4 slots.
I downloaded memtest86 and in slots 1+3 I got a lot of errors, around 700 during test 6 then a few in test 7 and 8. In total I had around 900 errors.

The CPUs affected were 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

What's the exact model number and version number of the RAM? It's written on the sticks.

For dual channel you insert the sticks in slot A2 and B2.

Motherboard bios is updated to the latest version?

What make and model PSU?

2 sticks ----> A2 and B2, nothing else.

It is described in the MB-manual. Very often it is very useful to look into a manual.

Why would you put it in slot 1 and 3? most motherboard with 4 memory slots use daisy chain, it is best to put the ram slot at slot 2 and 4. It's not a motherboard faulty.

I was always under the assumptions that to run it in dual channel it’s slots 1+3 or 2+4

Well, most of the motherboard manufacturer always recommends to do 2 and 4 first for the best compability 😀
