I'm encountering frequent MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BSODs after I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 2600 to a Ryzen 7 5800X. I'm using an ASROCK B450M Pro4-F motherboard paired with 16GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM (2x8GB). I've tested each RAM stick individually, and they both appear to be functioning well, but the system crashes when they're both installed. I've tried toggling XMP settings and ensured the voltage is set to 1.35V, but the problem persists. I've also tested different RAM slots, all of which work fine with a single stick. I've reseated the CPU and cleared the CMOS with no luck. Additionally, running Prime95 results in fatal errors with both sticks together, but each one works flawlessly alone. Any insights or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!

One of the quickest ways to check this issue is to try swapping out your RAM for a couple of different sticks from another brand that's known to be compatible with your motherboard. This will help you determine if the problem lies with the RAM itself or something more serious like the motherboard. Alternatively, if you're not keen on spending money just yet, you could run a memory test using a USB stick to boot from and thoroughly check your memory.
It seems like the CPU might be causing the problem since the RAM worked without issues before you upgraded. Have you checked that?
