I recently built a new gaming PC using a Gigabyte B850M Gaming X WiFi motherboard along with G.Skill DDR5-6000 RAM (32GB total, 2x16GB), and I installed the RAM in the A2 and B2 slots. However, I'm experiencing frequent BSODs and freezes, and after running a built-in test in Windows, it indicated there are hardware problems. Can someone confirm if my RAM is correctly installed and suggest what I should do next?

Sounds like a frustrating situation! Your RAM is indeed in the right slots. Have you recently changed your GPU or is this a total fresh build? A clean Windows install can help, especially if you were facing glitches before. If possible, give MemTest86 a shot; it's often better for checking RAM compared to the Windows one.
That’s a bummer! A2 and B2 are usually correct, but it doesn't hurt to double-check. Also, have you made any changes to the GPU or anything since you built it? It might also be worth doing some more tests to rule out a bad stick or problems with the XMP profile. Good luck!
