I got a MEMORY MANAGEMENT blue screen this morning on my new build (Windows 11) so I ran mdsched  to check the memory and I got an error (see image attached).

 

When Windows started I also got this:

Your computer has a memory problem

Memory problems can cause your computer to lose information or stop working. To identify and repair the problem, contact the computer manufacturer.

 

I have 64 GB of DDR5 6000 (4x16 Corsair Vengeance RGB) those are on a ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero with an Intel Core i9-13900K.

 

The RAM is running at 6000 via XMP profile. Is this bad hardware or again shit RAM controller like Intel 12th gen? Not sure what to do at this point...

4x slots full running max. XMP ? See if a bit more voltage helps, like +0.025.

As for Ram testing, make yourself a bootable USB with Memtestx64.

Run 8 passes minimum.

Would it be much better with 2 slots instead of 4, I have the occasion to switch from 4x16 to 2x32...

So, I changed my 2 kits of 2*16 GB (all 4 sticks were consecutive S/N) CL36 to 1 kit of 2*32 GB CL40 and now with 2 sticks it works perfect with XMP 1 profile.
