    Remove the sticks, blow out your sockets with some compressed air and re-test. I had something similar recently and a full memtest pass ran clean after that.

        you’d be surprised. it’s not even a about dust. chip creep is still a thing in modern ddr and pcie slots, and can absolutely show up as a bad part. I’ve saved a few gpus and ram sticks from being declared dead after a bad test by just cleaning contacts and reinstalling.

      Also, disable any OC. I had my ram fail tests because it is not supported by my mobo. After reducing speed to factory stock it would pass flawlessly.
