i was on 6 sticks, i think i have narrowed the candidates down to 3 stable sticks, 2 unstable, and 1 definitely busted
problem is the stable sticks only work in certain slots and even then uptime is not great
one of the unstable sticks is brand new, makes me think that it got destroyed by being in one of the bad slots
a big problem is that i have 16 slots for ram and it's a total pain in the ass to test all of them
if sticks of ram are only working in certain slots its entirely possible the IC that controls the ram is shot.
Recently had this happen on an old dual xeon setup, rendered half of my 192GB of ram unusable and was causing problems exactly like what you’re describing.
Does the mobo show the sticks as inserted upon bootup?
