MP 7,1 2019 Mac Pro Errors detected on memory module

[johnnymcc]

Well this sucks. I had just swapped the processor out to a 28-core Xeon. All seems fine for several weeks. Now I'm getting "errors detected on memory module". At first, I thought it was a particular ram module, so I moved the module to a different slot, but then two more errors popped up on different ram modules (some genuine apple, some not). This confirmed it wasn't a particular ram module at all. Anyone else have this issue before? Is it due to the 28-Core Xeon I purchased on ebay? It was a QS sample Xeon, and actually showed up as genuine retail from a reputable seller.

Don't know enough to be sure, but it doesn't sound promising.

Thanks. I reseated the processor. I also realized I had tightened down screws (the metal holding CPU bracket) that I should not have. So far, no more memory errors. I'll keep you posted. BTW, this did not have a "QS" or "ES" on the processor, and shows as legit retail in the terminal

OH. and I cleaned the back of the processor (gold contacts) which I think helped.
