I built a new PC this year in July during the Ryzen 3000 Launch. I got a 3900x Ryzen CPU, a ASUS Hero Crosshair VIII (WI-FI) motherboard, Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB (4x8GB) RAM, 1070 GPU & a ASUS THOR PSU 850W.
I have no overclocks.
I started getting BSODs after the first week I got the PC regarding memory corruption, so I went back to Microcenter and they swapped my RAM. Thought my issue was over. Got more BSODs after about a month in. I downloaded Memtest 86+ and ran it stick by stick, showing me I had 1 bad stick. So I was going to RMA it. I kept 3 sticks in, PC kept BSOD still. So I ran the Memtest again on each stick, in different slots. Found that my slot 3 was causing sticks to fail repeatedly. Got a 3800x for testing that its not CPU mem controller. Still shows failing sticks. Won't post at all with Dual Channel with stick in slot 1 and 3.
Got a new motherboard (ASUS HERO CROSSHAIR VIII non-wifi), put in my 3900x. Slot 3 still failing on the same set of RAM. Try different stick. Still failing on slot 3. Sometimes won't post. Put in the 3800x as well, same results.
So what gives? 2 motherboards, 2 CPUS and we're still at a failing state. For some reason, slot 3 is the only one failing. So what is my problem here? Only thing I haven't tried yet is getting ANOTHER set of sticks. I even borrrowed my friends 3900x to test a 3rd CPU and I still have the same set of issues. Id say memtest is lying to me about the results, but my system is definitely not stable.
Can it be my power supply somehow, or do I have a different problem here? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
BIOS is updated on the current (non-wifi) motherboard & the wifi motherboard. I'm running on 1201 BIOS.
Chipset has been updated. Temps are good on the system, not overheating.
