RAM or mobo at fault?

Been having problems with games randomly crashing to desktop with no error code and nothing in event log. Reinstalled GPU drivers and after still experiencing same problem, also re-installed Windows but crashes are still happening. Out of curiosity I ran memtest with both sticks in and memtest exited after a few minutes due to too many errors.

I thought I had found the cause but after testing each stick individually none of them encountered any problems after I had ran pass 1/4. Put both ram back in and I get all the errors again.

Could it be the ram sticks are actually fine and it is a problem with the DIMM slot? The mobo manual states to only use DIMM A2 if only one stick of ram is being used and for two to use A2 and B2.

All mobo drivers are installed and up to date and running latest bios. Nothing overclocked but I do have XMP enabled for the ram in the bios.

Memtest results:

Disable xmp and run the tests again, this should ascertain whether it's a fault in the ram the board or just xmp that's not stable and needs adjusting.

This is with XMP disabled. Looks like it is RAM at fault but doesn't explain why they both report zero errors when tested individually.
