Very strange ram problem

[Discordstar]

So i recently built a new PC with no OS. I wanted to install windows 10 on it, but am having problems doing so.

I insert the usb installation tool, that i created with Microsoft's "media creation-tool", boot the pc and get the following error 0xc0000098 (something about ntoskrnl.exe / indicates to memory problems, which from my understanding should only appear for the actual OS system, not boot usb)

Keep in mind there is NO OS on the drives.

 

After some troubleshooting:

- checking ramsticks and slots.

- disconnecting hdd/ssd to see if the error came from them.

- connecting only the necessary parts, like 1 screen, mouse, etc...

 

I found out that one of my rams is causing the error.

When ONLY the bad ramstick is placed in, i'll get a new error 0xc0000017 (which indicates to not enough memory) and when both are placed i get the the previous error.

Conclusion: one stick allows me to start the windows installation process, while the other is causing errors preventing it.

 

But to be sure that the ram was bad i did some testing:

- Memtest86 v7.5 did 2 tests with 8 passes (4 passes were done at a higher voltage) no errors. https://imgur.com/SHLErNQ

- No error beeps, just one short beep when booting pc

- Ram visible in BIOS and LINUX (bootable usb).

- No posting problems.

 

And this is were i'm scratching my head. how is it that a ram is causing problems, but has no errors and seems fine according to every test.

Bios is also up to date, otherwise i wouldn't be able to use the CPU on my mobo. So that can't be the problem.

Contacted Asus about the sticks if there compatible with the mobo, they tested my ram out and it worked for them with the same mobo and cpu.

 

I'm at a loss, asked a pc repair store if he ever heard or encountered something like this before and he said no.

also asked a couple of other ppl they never heard of a ram that has no error that won't work while everything indicates it should.

 

Here are (maybe) unusual thing i noticed: (maybe its useful info or not)

- When going into boot menu i see 2 different versions of my USB named:

    * UEFI: (usb name)

    * (usb name)

  I don't understand why?

 

my built:

 

1    AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Wraith Boxed

1    Asus Prime B350-Plus

1    Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 580 8GD5 Special Edition

1    Seagate Barracuda, 2TB

1    Fractal Design Define S

1    Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15B (2x8gb)

1    BitFenix Formula Gold 450W

1    Samsung 860 EVO 250GB

 

I hope this is enough info for you guys to help me out. if you need more info i'll be happy to fill in the blanks.

Has anyone else encountered something like this before?
