  No it’s some kind of hybrid bastard mobo from AliExpress where they use a mobile CPU but desktop memory

    Unless it’s ddr5 check your local ewaste recyclers, most have shops where you can buy used parts.

      i wonder if it was the motherboard sending wrong voltage or something like that. What are the chances of TWO modules failing AT THE SAME TIME (although it’s the same kit, identical memory, so maybe it could be damaged silicon and i never noticed before)

        Exactly my thoughts. Take your RAM and test it with another CPU + MoBo combo. Ask friends. I bet the RAM is good.

        Yeah two sticks at once to me says mobo issue. Maybe not fried, I’d be hesitant to try them in a better mobo to not fry a slot too, but they might still be fine.

        Did you test each stick individually to confirm both are dead? If two sticks are in there and it fails all that means is “at least one failed”. That’s just an indicator to go one stick at a time to determine which one.

        Try and single out the cpu cache with cache less mode. 2 sticks is a weird issue if timing didn’t slip on the memory controller or overvoltage was applied.

        Maybe 1 is causing the other to fail?
        Could try the sticks individually.

        It is strange that 2 sticks fail at the same time. It smells like a symptom instead of the root issue.

    What kind of RAM? DDR4? I can sell you old G Skill DDR4.

    I have an old team force ddr4 16gb kitm not exactly top of the line but should do the trick. I’ll gladly sell it to you for a much fairer price than what’s around these days. dm me if interested, no worries if not

    Ah too bad, I’d have sold you the RAM at a great discount (~50€)

  Is this a laptop ?

  I’m not OP, but an i7-11800H is a mobile processor, so while I’m sure that there are non-laptop PCs out there using laptop CPUs, I’d guess that it’s probably a laptop.
