> It seems really unlikely that I got bad memory in two separate orders. Test the new memory by itself, keeping at or below the 64 GB you know works. Then you will know if the board is happy with the new memory or not. If the mainboard supported configurations allow, test all slots while keeping <= 64 GB. If there is a bad slot, visually inspect for cold solder joints, shorts, etc. IIRC, FreeBSD has some knob that allows limiting the memory used. Try having > 64GB of memory plugged in, but limit how much you actually use. Some systems are very very picky about memory. Published required specs for memory might not cover everything. The technical support folks might have learned more what actually works or not.
