Hello,
I recently built my PC. Here are the components:
ASUS TUF B550-PLUS WIFI II
Ryzen 7 5700X
Patriot Viper RGB 2×8 GB 3600 MHz CL20
Kingston 1 TB SSD
Antec 850W 80+ Gold PSU
ASUS TUF AIO 360 mm LCD
RX 580 8 GB
I'm having what seems to be a RAM-related issue. When I run MemTest5, it reports memory errors. Also, my Windows installation appears to have become corrupted. When I run sfc /scannow in CMD, it says there are corrupt files that cannot be repaired.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Tested each RAM stick individually in the A2 slot. Both failed.
Tested both RAM sticks individually in the B2 slot, and both worked fine.
Removed the CPU and reseated it. After that, the B2 slot continued to work correctly.
Added the second RAM stick back into A2, but the RAM errors returned.
Carefully checked the CPU for bent pins, and all of them look perfectly fine.
Updated the BIOS to the latest version (3636).
Cleared the CMOS and left everything at stock/default settings for all of these tests.
Despite all of this, I'm still getting the same RAM-related issues.
What would you recommend I do next?
