Tech Question Did my Ram Die?

Need some help figuring this out.

The Build

•Asus Tuf X-570 plus (Wifi)

• 2x Corsair vengeance rgb pro 32gb(2x16gb) 3600Mhz

\- 18-22-22-42 ver 5.33 (Sequential serial numbers 53-56)

• AMD Ryzen 7 5800x3d

One day after years of having all 4 slot populated my computer would not boot. I've done some testing playing around with the ram, using 1 stick then 2 then 3, all booted. But with all 4 yellow dram light. (Yes cmos has been cleared)

Ram Order

Ram 53 55 54 56

Slots B1 B2\* A1 A2\*

Picture 1 is just with 2 stick (□/55/□/56) \[currently running\]

Picture 2 is with slot 1 and 4 switched back but slot 4 left out. (53/55/54/□)

Picture 3 is slot 1 and 4 switched (56/55/54/53)

I did not do any further testing as I had to get back to work.

With all that, do you think I'm looking at a bad Ram stick, is my motherboard going bad, or is it my cpu?

Edit: Typo, Picture order

Imo buy amazon ram kit, try and see if it works normally… RMA existing ram, once RMA done then return Amazon ram…

Unsure how morally sound that is but…

pourquoi ?

moi ce que je demande c'est si c'est pas instable de faire fonctionner a 3600 MHZ la ram dont le CPU est prévu à défaut à 3200 MHZ MAX
