Hey all! So I've been dealing with some pretty annoying memory errors lately. Last week, I encountered a pak01.vpk corruption error while playing CS2, and around the same time, my Chrome browser started throwing out out-of-memory (OOM) errors. I even tried switching to Firefox and Edge, but those browsers crashed too. I've spent the past week trying to troubleshoot this issue and I'm starting to lose hope. Here's what I've done so far: 1) Reset my BIOS, 2) Freshly installed Windows, but the problem persists, 3) Ran Memtest with all 4 passes passing, 4) Checked my SSD with CrystalDiskInfo – passed, 5) Ran H2testw – passed, 6) Used chkdsk – passed, and 7) swapped SSD slots with no improvement. I'm using an X870A Strix motherboard, a 990 Pro M.2 SSD, and 1 x 32GB Fury RAM. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried reducing the RAM speed a bit? Sometimes that can help with stability issues.
Just so you know, the maximum supported speeds for your setup are: Ryzen 7000 can go up to DDR5-5200, and Ryzen 9000 can hit DDR5-5600. If you push your RAM speeds beyond these, it may cause stability problems. Make sure you're not overclocking too much!
Thanks for the tip! I'm running a Ryzen 9 9950X with a 5600MHz stick and lowered it to 4800, but I still have the same issues. Any other suggestions?
I downclocked from 5800 to 4800, but I'm still facing issues. Do you think it might be a motherboard problem? Just for context, I’m running a Ryzen 9 9950X and Kingston Fury 1x32GB 5600MHz.
