PSU or UPS? PSU we all have in the computers... lol
EDIT: Check the capacitors in the motherboard.

Not really. When it was shutting down at boot, it showed some code that wasn’t in the book. |

Seems like it's the PSU. I think it boots but can't supply the required power. The PSU might be good, but the cable(s) might be damaged/faulty. Did you check the pins on the mobo? Maybe disconnect the PSU and short circuit the 24pins connector to see if the PSU powers on each time.

No XMP, still BSODing. Could be two related issues, the shut down thing and memory. I’ll try with my old DDR4 sticks to see if there is any difference.

Old 16GB sticks are recognized as 4GB only. Ah, now it’s 8GB. What a clusterfuck.

Seems like the MSI QVL list has been removed. How can the world be so retarded?

Thanks
Unfortunately, the only available memories in 4x8GB configurations are not on the QVL.  FML

I dont think PSU would give you BSOD. If really the PSU is failing what you would get is complete restart. (there might be exceptions of course, but most of the time PSU problems causes "resets")
Motherboard I think.
As for memtest: I would leave it test for overnight. The more often you experience these issues, the quicker memtest will catch if its a memory fault.
Also I would stick with one DIMM only and then run memtest on that, if no errors are caught, start windows with that, if BSOD happens=not memory (99%)
But, dont you have anything to swap out? and extra psu and extra memory module?
Also what other devices you have connected? Disconnect everything.
Also, what happens in safe mode?
And an extra idea: While system is running try moving the parts in it very carefully:
-Cables
-Gently the memory modules

I’ve disconnected everything already, only keyboard and mouse. I had some old DDR4 sticks but those don’t seem compatible with the motherboard, or are damaged; the system won’t post and fails at CPU initialization.
I’ll run memtest again on each stick. Last time I ran it for several passes on all the memory, with XMP enabled, and no issues were found.

I would even disconnect mouse and KB as well. I know i know, but the system should be ok without them.
(And it probably doesnt have to do with any of this, but its not a big deal to do it)
(At least until you can repro the issue with them disconnected)

What about voltage fluctuations/problems, men? Especially if it's on the rail that feeds memory (3.3V, I think?).

Yeah PSU issues can be very subtle. Last PSU that went bad for me started with very intermittent/rare BSODs and freezes. It wasn't till a month later that it started producing a horrific odour and was very evidently on the way out. |

Well, it's easier IMO to get a spare PSU than a spare mobo. I'd try a spare PSU at first, then RAMzzz, then mobo (if I really had to, it's a pain in the ass ).

A problematic PSU or even a faulty power cable can cause crashes due to power dips. It's not uncommon at all.

OK, so I think the issues discussed here are distinct. I've taken the PC parts outside of the case, and after moving the cables around, the shut down issue has not occurred. So I will replace the PSU eventually. Now I am testing slowly each memory stick, both in memtest and in general memory use. If all sticks pass, I will enable XMP for each stick and do the same. If that passes too, the main suspect becomes the motherboard.

The computer won’t post with one of the memory sticks. That’s good news.
Now running memtest on two sticks with XMP profile enabled.

Interesting. I would just discard that memstick and start using the system to see if without that one its ok or not.
If its stable (week of usage for example) then I would run a memtest with that "bad" stick and a good one.

That’s the plan. But at least it’s more conclusive right now.

Did you tried every memory slot?

I did at random. There are far too many slots to run every possible combination (8 slots x 4 memory sticks). I am currently testing two sticks in two designated slots. Before that, I tested all sticks on the first designated slot.

Ordered a Corsair HX1000i to replace my problematic Seasonic.
