This was in the Philippines. I wasn't surprised they ran into issues and I knew right away what the issue was.
I understand you can't just get any memory. The memory I purchased was reasonably within the required specs and a solid brand. The memory wasn't on the "tested list" but on a relatively new chip that's a small list and in the Philippines, I had a limited choice. This is also a wide problem as I found loads of people who had the same issues. I was able to fix it though, and I have my original RAM installed. If there's a secret sauce to picking RAM other than being on this tested list, it's not widely known. Just finding a thread where someone could explain the problem and the fix was difficult.
I guess this is no different from any newly released thing. Better to wait until the quirks get worked out.

And yeah, being in a smaller market must suck due to the limited choice :/ Having said that, getting ahold of the 3900x in the UK made me feel like I was too participating in a very limited market, situated somewhere in the middle of the Pacific ocean.
