Hi, Got a rarther fustrating issue here with my 1950x. Its runs solid when i have 32gb of ddr4 3200mhz with CL16-18-18-38 @1.35v in 4 dimms however when i add in additional sticks with the same specs it becomes super unstable and will BSOD constantly I have tried memtest and got over 8000 erros within 7 hours the ram is good as i have sent it back for testing and been told by the vendor that there is no issues. Totaly lost now any help would be greatly apreciated.

Take everything apart and make extra sure the CPU is seated 100%

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

100% installed correctly is this a common issue as it seems hard to mess up ?

It can happen, not sure how frequently, but I've heard just reseating it can fix issues, checking for bent pins, ect.

If it's not the RAM it's probably the motherboard, or some compatibility issue between the 2. Should contact the motherboard maker. May also be an issue of mixing RAM if they're different.
