I did ~12h RAM test few times and it always passed successfully (except when I was testing EXPO profile on early BIOS version).

I also did Prime95 CPU stress testing a few times without issues.

All issues seem to be related to either BIOS or drivers.

Pleas join the branch discussing the idea of using slower/cheaper RAM.

What is your current ram chip model, maker, and configuration on your machine?

sudo apt-get install cpu-x

sudo cpu-x

Corsair Vengeance 64GB (2x32GB) 5600MHz C36. Module Part Number: CMH64GX5M2B5600C36. DRAM manufactured by Samsung.

Running RAM at default speeds (4800MHz) or using XMP profile 5600MHz C36 doesn't affect these issues (they are no more or less frequent).

EDIT: XMP profile, not EXPO.

Thanks for helping the other users =3
