At this time I have only used Slots #1 and #3
I was having MEMORY_MANAGEMENT errors with DIMMs #1 and #3, but no such errors with DIMMs #2 and #4 in the same slots
This leads me to believe that the issue lies within the RAM, not the mobo
Therefore, is it reasonable to try to isolate whether it is DIMM #1 vs #3 by pairing one of these up with an established working DIMM (e.g., DIMM #2) using the same slots that have always been in play (i.e., #1 and #3)
Just swapped out DIMM -- currently testing #3 (which had previous caused BSOD when combined with #1) and #4 (which did not cause BSOD when combined with #2)
Will report any BSOD (which would likely be due to #3 if they occur)
Slots unchanged (always #1 and #3)
Got a BSOD 5 days after testing DIMMS #3 and #4
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

This is the 2nd time that #3 was tested and the 2nd time that it failed - I will reach out to G.Skill re: warranty
Will start testing #1 (which previously failed in very first test) and #2 (which passed)
The memory.dmp debugging didn't display any misbehaving drivers.
Continue testing hardware.
Got a BSOD 3 days after testing DIMMS #1 and #2
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT again - coming out of sleep

Failing DIMM combos:
- #1 and #3
- #3 and #4
- #1 and #2
Passing DIMM combos (i.e., no MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BSOD since I put them in on 12-26-18 and took them out 4-11-19):
- #2 and #4
Always tested on MoBo slots #1 and #3
What should I do next?
Sorry for the late reply. I think you have proved that memory modules #1 and #3 are faulty and should be returned/replaced.
No worries about late reply
I wonder if modules #1 and #3 are truly faulty (and whether #2 and #4 were a fluke and would have BSOD'd soon enough) -- the reason is that #1 and #3 were purchased as part of two separate sets a number of years apart
Before sending them in to G.skill, I will try out the modules in slots #2 and #4 (for the first time) in order to exclude a faulty slot #1 or #3
I set up DIMMS #1 and #2 for testing on slots #2 and #4 on 4/24.
I just experienced a BSOD right now ~20 days later
The message was FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE

Is the error also linked to RAM? If so, I was going to try the two good sticks #2 and #4 in slots #2 and #4 just to confirm (and send #1 and #3 to GSkill)
Yes, this latest error looks like a memory related error.
I think you have enough evidence to return modules 1 and 3 under warranty, putting modules 2 and 4 into slots 2 and 4 should give you a good working system.Code:FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE (12b) This bugcheck indicates that a single bit error was found in this page. This is a hardware memory error.
