Make sure the memory is installed properly in their slots.

Check that the CPU cooler is mounted evenly on the CPU. Loosen and retighten CPU cooler mounting screws as required. It may require complete removal and then re-installation of the CPU cooler.

Uneven mounting of the CPU cooler may exert uneven pressure on the CPU causing it to tilt slightly and possibly lose contact with some pins, which in turn may cause memory access problems.
