In the last 4 months I upgraded my ram  to 64 gigs

2x32 or 4x16? How can you be so sure 3 of them in a row die in such a short time span, or am i missing context?

I assume since three slots are dying that you have four sticks?

Did you try each stick singly in A2 with MemTest64?

Yes I tried each slot with memtest and used 2 different sticks, not dead but 3 three dying were over 100 errors in 15 loops each. Not sure why 3 out of 4 decided to start dying in that short time.

Yeah when its just errors its more likely that the stick is no longer stable on that speed. are the two different sticks from different kits? Id assume its 2x32 then?

4x16 sticks and tested without xmp and just now with the old sticks also. Still shows 3 out of 4 slots. Sorry for the delay in reply,  no wifi at home and no cell service until I get to work.. middle of nowhere sucks.

Yeah 4 stick sucks on AMD but it shouldnt be RAM slot killing. So only one slot is guaranteed no error with all of the old and new sticks?

Yes same slot no errors with old and new. From 2018 until 2ish months ago no problems with 4X sticks and today I was able to test the new sticks on another am4 board with 1 error on 15 loops of memtest.
