Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.

1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory

of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

For optimum performance, when enabling

Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, we recommend that you install them in the DDR4_1

and DDR4_2 sockets.

I believe it was the two new ram modules. They were installed ~3 months ago based on my purchase history. I have already submitted an RMA request with the manufacturer. They were the same model and speed although different versions (chip manufacturer). I think it was just a faulty module and not related to the versions as only one failed the testing.

I am also now able to complete the installation media process.

I also ran TuneUp twice (after restart) without any errors reported

The present scenario is consistent with malfunctioning hardware.

The recurrent clean install corruption problems are uncommon but are seen with malfunctioning hardware.

Most often it's recurrent unexpected shutdown and restarts or BSOD without operating system corruption.

That's great news that Memtest identified malfunctioning RAM.

There were four RAM modules.

Two were reported old and two reported new.

Which of the modules was malfunctioning?

Check the motherboard for information about using two or three RAM modules and whether there are or are not optimal DIMM then run the computer with either two or three modules and report computer stability / instability.

Decide whether you want to clean install Windows 10 or 11:

Plan:

1. Complete Sea Tools drive tests > post images or share links
2. Use RAM modules in the optimal DIMMs that have passed Memtest86 testing
3. Clean install either Windows 10 or 11 after deleting all partitions and creating an unallocated disk drive
4. Install drivers displayed on the Gigabyte and/or component manufacturer websites
5. Run Tuneup plus > post a share link into the newest post using one drive, drop box, or google drive
6. For any BSOD or unexpected shutdowns and restarts post a new V2 share link into the newest post
7. If there are no unexpected shutdowns or restarts and no operating system or component store problems that will complete the troubleshooting

(monitor for 48 hours using Reliability Monitor)

I will be performing the Sea Tools disk tests soon but have finished the memtest checks. 1 of the 4 DRAM is bad. I verified all 4 slots are good by testing each module individually in each slot. Is it possible that this one faulty ram module has caused all of these issues?

Unfortunately Windows is suboptimal in identifying a malfunctioning hardware component.

Third party software stress testing and hardware component swaps are used to narrow down the potential malfunctioning hardware components.

Please rule in / rule out the disk drives and the RAM.

First complete the disk tests with Sea Tools then move to the RAM testing.

There were some networking findings but troubleshoot first the disk drives and RAM.
