Hi,  I came to the conclusion that the problem is not in the RAM, because with original ones and without any the error remains.

 

Upd: just have unplugged all cables from motherboard (satas, cpu power, gpu, ram, all coolers, yellow and green connectors (literally idk what are they doing) etc.) but problem remains.

To test the RAM, it must be removed and swapped between slots, and this must be done for all installed RAM. If that does not work, the motherboard is damaged or the memory slot is damaged.
