I've been dealing with memory issues on my PC for the last few months, and it's been quite frustrating since it was running smoothly for about two years before this started. My system specs are: Ryzen 5 5600x, 4x8GB Klevv Bolt X DDR4 RAM, DS3H rev 1.4 motherboard, GTX 1080, and several storage devices including NVME SSDs and SATA SSDs.
I've encountered various errors like status access violations in Chrome, memory management BSODs, KMODE exceptions, and even hardware issues detected by the memory diagnostic tool. Memtest86 has shown errors on every RAM stick in every slot. Recently, I swapped out the original CPU with another Ryzen 5600 after suspecting an issue with the integrated memory controller, but I'm still seeing errors even with XMP turned off. Now, I'm starting to think the motherboard might be part of the problem. Can anyone share insights on what else could be causing these consistent errors? Could it be the RAM itself?

It’s pretty rare for all four sticks of RAM to go bad at the same time. It might be more about compatibility with your motherboard or CPU. I suggest trying a different brand of RAM before shelling out for a new motherboard—it’s a cheaper route to take!
I updated my post to mention that everything was working fine for about 2.5 years before this started. Is it even possible for compatibility issues to develop after such a long time?
