You put new thermal paste on things? Did you remove the CPU as well? You could have damaged some pins there too.
The delay in the failure sounds like it could be as the components expand with heat.
Take it apart and look at all the pins of both the RAM, RAM slot, and CPU (if you removed that) for any damage.
i put the new thermal stuff only on the cpu, specifically that new honeywell material. It's a bit smaller than the cpu, ordered 3x3 cm measuring a core i3 that i had on hand, while the ryzen has a bigger IHS and fits better with a 4x4 cm
i'm thinking maybe i tightened the cooler too much but it's the OEM one, so it shouldn't allow overtightening because has the stoppers on the threads... unless the honeywell pad is too thick for that
