I recently added 2 more RAM sticks to my setup, which now totals 4 DIMMs on my MSI A-PRO motherboard with a 5700x3D CPU. Initially, everything went smoothly after I reduced the memory speed from 3600 to 3200 MHz. However, today when I turned on the computer, I was hit with a "Memory Overclocking failed!" error. After several unsuccessful restarts, I removed the two new sticks, and the system booted up fine again. I'm unsure what caused this issue—could it be that my motherboard just can't handle 4 sticks of RAM? I can manage to replace the motherboard if needed, but I'm not able to buy additional RAM right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like your memory sticks might not be playing well together at the current speed. Have you tried dropping the speed down a bit? Sometimes that can help with stability when using multiple sticks.
Have you considered trying a speed of 3000 MHz? That might help bring some stability back while keeping all four sticks.
I actually tried 3000 MHz and even reset everything to the default 2333 MHz, but nothing worked.
Yeah, I had them stable for a few months, but suddenly I got the error. I even tried dropping it to 2333 MHz, but that didn't solve the issue either.
