Posted December 28, 2020 there are usually also two XMP profiles, one will work while the other will not, also something to keep in mind...

No that shouldn't matter. anyway for people to be able to help you better you should probably post full specs first.

Posted December 28, 2020 you could run memtest (read description) https://www.memtest86.com to see if the ram is actually faulty... you could also return the ram of course but then I'd get a different one, but make sure it's actually compatible with your motherboard also.
