I was hoping for some help in narrowing it down, yes. Jeroen's reply was
very helpful, and more among the line of what I was expecting. I have
contacted all vendors involved now, and it looks like the system RAM is
not fully compatible with the mainboard.

With regard to the message, I would suggest an alternate wording like
such:

A hardware component in your system is failing.
Please contact your hardware vendor(s).
If unsure, contact your CPU vendor first.
