Once upon a time I read that this can happen when your CPU isn’t correctly seated but that always sounded weird to me so idk
The memory controller is part of the CPU die nowadays.
What's weird about it? CPU seated wrong means that some pins may not be making proper electrical contact inside the socket. Pins not making proper contact means that they can't energize the electrical traces that connect to those pins, or only do so intermittently, so whatever part of your system they control won't work right either.
