no idea if the cpu or motherboard is faulty, if it is at all

Just had a thought, I'm righting in thinking that a cooler that works with AM4 will work with AM5 stuff right?
Also, while the new Ryzen chips look really fancy, doesn't thermal paste go down into the cut-out bits in the IHS?

AM4 and AM5 are different
coolers wont just work, you need to buy brackets i believe if you want to transfer your old one across
what cooler do you have?

H110i with an AM4 bracket

AM5 bracket required for Corsair Hydro H100i PRO AIO cooler?
I might be getting a Ryzen 5 7600x, but I'm wondering if I will still be able to use my Corsair Hydro H100i PRO. Does anyone know if this cooler supports AM5? Thanks.

Before you start thinking about sending things back, try testing your ram with memtest and windows built in memory diagnostic tool and start off using just one stick of ram on stock settings and then try again with the EXPO settings and see how you go. If all is ok then do it again with the second stick installed.
59 errors seem high, I have 26 but most are because I have been debugging code all day and the components I use log errors. You need to expand the Error row to view what is throwing the errors, might help find the actual problem.

I ran my new stuff on the MB box for 3 or 4 days to be sure it was working OK. If I had issues like you are having, I would have returned it all and ordered again from somewhere else and tried again. An unreliable PC is massively stressful!

Ran windows memory diagnostic, restarted and my pc not booting

so What are you all thinking then ?
CPU faulty ?
im tempted to buy another AM5 chip and see if that makes any difference

Reset the BIOS to optimized defaults. Run MemTest86+ from a USB for 1 hour, then try some games, If its 100% stable like that then a BIOS update might fix things, it its not stable then I would think it’s a bad CPU or Motherboard as its unlikely you’ve had 3 bad RAM kits. If you do try a new CPU, check that the motherboard CPU socket pins look OK.
It’s strange as all the problems look like bad RAM, are you sure the cooler is not on too tight as that can cause RAM issues. Also, make sure the RAM is seated 100%, mine was a “$£”45 to get in 100%.

Re downloaded meanest, working this time, running it through now
Bios is up to date

Let it run through an hour at least an hour and see how that goes. It would also be worth testing your CPU with Prime95 so see if your CPU is ok while everything is on default settings then try Memtest with EXPO settings if everything passes.
