2 Sticks of ram BSOD system

So, i am having this weird issue or maybe a bad ram? if I use 2 sticks of 32gb of ram @6400mhz gskill which are listed as supported in my z790-e motherboard I get a BSOD all the time. if I use just 1 stick everything seems fine. I tried without xmp but no luck with the 2 sticks.

is there something I can try or settings in bios?

Hello renzosm

Update to the latest motherboard bios, I'll take it you have the ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming Wifi motherboard. The latest bios version is 1303 - ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI | Motherboards | ROG United States (asus.com)

Power down your pc, install your ram modules into slots A2-B2 (2nd and 4th slots from the cpu).

Press and hold the clear cmos button for 3 seconds.

Try booting up.

Yes i updated to the latest BIOS, I tried your solution still unstable ... BSOD after 5-10min

Experiencing a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error on your computer could be due to various reasons, and having two sticks of RAM installed might not necessarily be the cause. BSOD errors are typically associated with hardware or software issues, and RAM is just one component that can contribute to these problems.

Here are some steps you can take   uk49s lotto predictions   to troubleshoot and address the issue:

  1. Check for Loose or Improperly Seated RAM:

    • Ensure that both sticks of RAM are properly seated in their respective slots on the motherboard. Sometimes, loose or incorrectly installed RAM modules can cause instability.
  2. Run a Memory Test:

    • Use a memory diagnostic tool like Windows Memory Diagnostic or MemTest86 to check for any issues with your RAM. These tools can help identify if there are any faulty memory modules.
  3. Update or Roll Back Drivers:

    • Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause BSOD errors. Make sure all your hardware drivers, especially those related to your motherboard and RAM, are up to date. If you recently updated a driver and started experiencing BSODs, consider rolling back to the previous version.

Sorry for a late reply.

Did you purchase your ram as a single 32GB kit or are you combining two separate sticks?

Yes it’s a kit it 2x 32gb @6400mhz , right now I am running only 1 stick at b2 and it works fine. I tried both modules in b2 and all works . So it’s not the memory modules. Maybe a bad motherboard ?? 😞

Hard to say.

Try testing each stick individually with memtest86, you can launch this from the tool tab in the bios.

I think it’s mobo. I can’t use 2 sticks now. Only only 1 stick at b2 

if I put the 2 sticks on a2 and b2 it gives me error code 55 or it just stays in a loop but doesn’t post or even booth to bios. 

Well now is doing thid

 but sometimes it does this. Like I said both sticks work individually in b2 fine 

here is a video of what it does sometimes

Thank you for the video.

This problem could be due to an overtightened cpu cooler.

Try remounting the cooler making it just snug, don't overtighten.

While you have the water block off, you can take out the cpu and do a thorough inspection of the cpu socket to make sure there are no bent or misaligned pins. A magnifying glass or a good camera are good tools for checking the cpu socket.

Thanks for the help ... i un tighted the CPU took it out re paste and no bent pins ... but still nothing now it wont even recognize my memory sticks, just b2 works and boots up and xmp working fine ...
