Hey everyone! I recently upgraded my PC to a Ryzen 5 7600X processor, an RTX 5060 graphics card, and I have 16GB of DDR5 RAM. Everything was working perfectly until last week when my games started crashing due to low memory. I ran some tests and discovered that my RAM is showing errors. I swapped it out for a friend's 2x8GB DDR5 RAM, but I'm still facing the same issues. I even bought a new motherboard thinking that might solve it, but I'm still having problems with both sets of RAM. I'm really at a loss for what the issue could be. Any help would be appreciated!

There could be various reasons for these memory errors. It might be worth checking if you have any faulty drivers or even testing your CPU. Sometimes, a failing memory controller on the CPU can cause these issues, which has happened to me before.
You've replaced both the RAM and the motherboard, so it's likely the memory controller on the CPU that’s causing the trouble. Also, consider reducing the EXPO/XMP settings for a bit more stability—sometimes that can help a lot!
It's tough when your computer throws memory errors like that! You mentioned using OCCT for testing; can you share what specific error code you got? That might help narrow it down.
Sure! The error I saw was: Test crashed (code: - 1).
I'm at work right now, but I’ll definitely check the CPU when I get home.
