    Likely it is RAM.

      Solved. The RAM's separately didnt cause any errors, so it had to be some dual channel issue with the CPU's memory controller unit. A BIOS update cured it.

        Maybe the new BIOS changed the voltage levels for the RAM, or the timings.
        (or reset the XMP settings, so the RAM now runs slower)
