Hi again, I just bought a new 32GB piece of RAM with the part number on the box that says it works with my motherboard. But if I turn on the XMP settings in Windows, the computer won't even start up to see the BIOS, or it loads Windows and then keeps crashing right after some time passes. Running at the default speed (2133MHz) seems okay though. Here is what I have: Motherboard = Z490 UD Processor = i9-10900K RAM = 32GB Patriot memory - 4 of these 8GB modules. Thanks for any help!

Anything above 2933 isn't sure if it will work well, so I'd just test it at 3800.

How do I go about doing that? My experience with OC is just selecting 'XMP profile 1 or 2' and that's all.
