Hey everyone, I'm encountering some weird errors while running tests on OCCT and Prime95. The OCCT CPU and RAM test seems to be finding errors on nearly every physical and logical core. Meanwhile, Prime95's blended test throws a fatal error on Worker 6, saying that rounding was at 0.4999196734 when it expected something lower than 0.4. Interestingly, standalone tests for CPU, RAM, and Power on OCCT don't produce any errors. Just to share some specs, my PC consists of a Ryzen 7600, an Asrock B650M PG Riptide WiFi motherboard, and 32GB of GSkill DDR5-5200 RAM. Everything is running at stock settings except that I have XMP enabled for the RAM. Any advice on what might be causing these errors? Thanks in advance!

You might want to try running Memtest86. Unstable RAM can lead to all sorts of tricky issues that are hard to track down. Just let it run overnight; with 32GB, it typically takes around 4 hours. If you see even one error, you should consider an RMA, as that could definitely be the root of your problems!
I've started Memtest86 as you suggested! Do you think this is definitely a RAM issue? Any other stress tests you could recommend before I commit to using this as my main PC?
