Help me get this stable!

Daft question, which RAM slots do you have them in? Also have you tried just running one module at a time to see of you have a non compliant module vs a horrid IMC/faulty CPU.

I haven't tried different slots to be honest or a single module, I will do that now.

Should I just enable XMP and test that way or fiddle with the timings?

Enable XMP don’t fiddle with the XMP timing and run it with memtest. If that fails then the ram has problems.

I'd just enable XMP/DOCP and see if you can replicate the results you were seeing previously. Slots A2 & B2 should be the ones you were already using, that is the one nearest the ATX power connector, and the then a gap of one, then the other module. If you've moved them to A1 and B1 and you still havev trouble then using a single module in slot A2 is where to start.

I just run MemTest with a single module in slot A2, XMP enabled.

It passed the test.

I’ve swapped the module over now and it is testing.

 

[Danthus]

That module has just failed.

RMA time

 

[Danthus]

Yeah, it's a PITA though having to wait.

I think I will order some more and return the defected memory.
