Ran Windows Memory Diagnostics, which detected a hardware issue, but didn't give much details. I also ran Memtest86 which generated about ~800 errors with both sticks in on the first pass. 64GB of ram - Trident Z5 DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory. MSI MEG motherboard with overclock profiles enabled. So far I've removed the second stick, and re-running memtest86 seems to be passing so far (still in the final out of the 4 runs, with no issues detected). I'll swap out the ram and try another test to try and replicate the fail on the suspect stick.

I'm honestly just hoping it's that simple - one faulty memory stick is much better than it being an issue with the motherboard or CPU, or something harder to find.

I haven't removed the overclock profiles yet - but this motherboard + RAM + CPU are all specifically designed for the profile that's enabled.

After swapping the ram and reseating it, all tests are currently passing. Might have not been installed properly. So - if all things go okay - back up to 64GB of RAM!
