I don't mind people weighing in with their musing, but I may not have been explicit enough. I have no issues now, and I don't really need advice. I was just blogging.

Edit: So try to take the CPU cooler off and reinstall it. If the CPU is stuck to the bottom of the damn thing, you've replicated my white whale problem.

I didn't mention it, but I originally did reseat the CPU. I had taken it off to look for dead pins, as that was a potential problem.

1: Are all the motherboard grounding screws in w/ washers?

Yeah.

2: Do you have a mechanical drive whatsoever? HDD/ SHDD? Them dying can lead to this problem.

I have drives. They aren't an issue. When I originally did the build, I didn't have them in when first booting because I was just trying to make sure all of the new stuff worked. Not the old drives. None of them were in at that time, and none of them are dying.

Final Edit: You're completely wrong about mixing sticks, bud. Make sure your XMP profile is synced up so that both are receiving the (weaker) sticks timings, and if either of them run at different voltages I'd remove the one immediately. If one is 24-24-24-13 and one is 20-20-20-10, and one is 1.4v and one is 1.5v, and one is 3200 and one is 2600, you're going to run into so many problems.

I'm not "completely wrong" you're just making some weird assumptions and then placing them on me. But to be clear, the memory timings are all in sync, and the voltages are the same.
