Hello Msabsabi001

Welcome to the ROG forum.

It's not recommended to combine memory kits and this is what is likely giving you trouble.

Remove one memory kit and give it a try, or if you must have 64GB, lower the Dram Frequency.

Thanks for your reply,
Ram im using is 3600mhz i lowered it in the bios to 3200/1600 flck

You're welcome

So, you've already tried lowering the frequency with no success.

32GB is more than enough for games. Try with one kit in slots A2 - B2, you'll have a much better chance at achieving stability at 3600MHz.

The QVL has some recommendations for 4 DIMM configurations, if you need to go that way. Filter by "Socket Support" 4 (and remember to select Ryzen 5000 series). I'm happily running 4x Crucial Ballistix BL16G36C16U4B 16GB DDR4-3600 CL16 on the Crosshair VIII Extreme (which is also X570S, like your Dark Hero, essentially the sibling board). 4-way is a bigger challenge than 2-way, so some kits that are good for 2-way just won't easily do 4-way even if they are all identical down to the same batch. Those Crucial DIMMs are Micron DDR4-2666 CL19/20 in their basic JEDEC SPD configuration. Crucial don't sell a 4-way kit, so I had to risk buying 2x 2-way kits, but ended up with 4 DIMMs with the same hardware revision and very close serial numbers; I would have bought 4-way if I could have found it, but those were the best 3600 CL16 on the QVL that I could find in stock at the time.

Unfortunately, your G.SKILL DIMMs are not on the QVL for 4-way. That doesn't mean they won't work, especially if you are willing to lower the clock or loosen the timings, just it might be more of a challenge.

Edit: one other thing to try is the way the 2 kits are mixed. With kits X and Y, XXYY vs XYXY might get different results. The DIMM serial numbers should hopefully let you identify the 2 different kits, if you're not certain which are which. Try a reasonably long MemTest86+ with each config.

Thanks for your reply,
My rams is currently XXYY didnt try XYXY or just A2-B2 take one set out but i will try also memtest86, what should i expect with the memtest86 ?

MemTest86+ is a soak/stress test for memory that throws a wide variety of bit patterns at the entire capacity of your DIMMs, with patterns that are designed to find any problems with either the chips themselves or the motherboard/CPU talking to the memory. If all is good, it will give you confidence that your memory is working well, or it will identify any problem spots. ASUS include MemTest86+ in some of their ROG UEFI, but not on the X570 boards for some reason; but you just put it on a USB stick and boot off that. It's a more in depth test of memory than either the basic POST test or anything Windows can do.

All right sounds good,

I'm looking forward to your results.
