Yep, I've done that too. A memory tester might also help (memtestx86? whatever its name is...)
If you don't mind, post a follow-up - I'd be genuinely curious to know if/how you got this resolved.

Having removed half the RAM, it now runs MemTest86 with no errors through multiple passes, and Windows 11 installed without a glitch. Well, almost. At the point where Setup wants to check for updates, it doesn't recognize the built in WiFi adapter on this MB. So I spent an hour or so rummaging around storage to find a 100' Cat5 cable to reach the router. Once Setup was done, an ASUS program kicked in and downloaded drivers for the MB. After that, the WiFi adapter was recognized and usable. So, all is good for now, and the excess RAM will be set aside.

Interesting.
Have you retried MemTest86 with only the suspect stick? Odds are, it'll confirm there's something wrong with it.
Or maybe it's not identical to your other one(s), and they have problems running in sync.
Either way - good news. At least you found the culprit.

Interesting you should mention that. As part of the process, I tried booting with just one stick installed, despite the fact that I've always been told by the manual to install them in pairs. This manual showed installing one as an available option, so I went for it. The PC went nuts! Start, stop, LEDs go on then off... then on again. Crazy stuff, so I figured the manual was wrong, and traditional instructions to install them in pairs must be correct. But if that's no longer a requirement, I must have plugged in the one bad stick first! Oh well, I'll save them both of that set for the next build.

Have you tried resetting the CMOS RAM? I had a system a few years ago that had similar issues. All the BIOS setting appeared to be correct but the system couldn't complete a Windows install. I reset the CMOS RAM and then adjusted the settings and it started to work correctly.

Yes, that was the first thing I tried. But now I'm wondering if I have too little capacity on the PSU. The recommended power from the vendor was 650W, I bought a 750W unit. But this processor and the video card can get greedy. Perhaps a 1000W would be a better choice.

If you're just going through the part where you'd just installing the OS (and not running some demanding app that'll push the hardware), it's unlikely your system would be trying to draw that much power at that time.
IMO. YMMV.

Wagner chief vows to topple Russian military leaders[^]
Apparently, Wagner has already started shooting down Russian helicopters.
This is going to get messy. Here's hoping our Russian members can stay safe regardless of the outcome.

Whatever the final outcome we know who is going to suffer most. The only positive at the moment is that it may stop or slow the attacks on Ukraine.

That, or as the chef said: "The Special Operation was built on lies".
i.e. Putin now has an "out": he was lied to.
Only time will tell if Putin "gets it".

Putin has certainly taken a baseball bat to the hornet's nest.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Keep in mind how the media loves a story like this and most likely inflames it for their own readership / subscription / advertisement agendas, and Putin most likely does the same for similar, though metaphorical, agendas. Not to mention Wagner himself. My 2c.

I dunno - Putin is between a rock and a hard place here: if he doesn't pull troops out of Ukraine to block Wagner he could lose the Kremlin without a shot being fired (except at him, I suspect). If he does then he loses face (and quite possibly Crimea or even the whole Ukraine war) and risks his troops refusing to be involved as appears to have happened in Rostov.
Just like the war itself, I don't see any signs of an exit strategy developing.

What you describe would serve Putin well, in my opinion.

when our opacity is more transparent, and our transparency is more opaque ... are we more, or less, blind ?
my heart goes out to the millions who are suffering, and will suffer more, in this geopolitical nightmare driven by the usual suspects: the ambitions and grandiosity of tyrants and autocrats who dream of lost empire, the never-ending saga of the battle to control energy sources, etc. This bonfire of vanities and atrocities fed with the lives of young soldiers, children.

If the politicians and generals had to be on the front lines, there would never be another war.

How long to wait until the Wagner/Putin circus is revealed as an elaborately staged deception designed to hide some military nightmare in the making, to flush out Putin opponents worthy of a free happy-hour novichok cocktail, or assisted out-a-window take off ? An agitprop appetizer for flagging nationalism ?
Machiavelli: "Mercenaries and auxiliaries are useless and dangerous; and if one holds his state based on these arms, he will stand neither firm nor safe. ... The mercenary captains are either capable men or they are not; if they are, you cannot trust them, because they always aspire to their own greatness, either by oppressing you, who are their master, or others contrary to your intentions; but if the captain is not skilful, you are ruined in the usual way."
Lots of heavily armed violent jailbirds now happy campers in scenic Belarus, enjoying the nighttime view of Cherenkov neon-blue-glow radiation of recently brought in Russian nuclear weapons ?
Chef Prigozhin leaves £38 million in boxes in a van and buses parked near his office ?
na zdrovya !

Surely you're not suggesting that some selective defenestration may be in the offing! Couldn't happen to a more deserving pack of thugs...
