The CMOS reset happened after a full power shutdown, which seems unusual. It might be related to a BIOS setting, but I’m not sure XMP is the cause. With four sticks, the memory controller could struggle with your faster chip. Your RAM should work at 3200 MHz regardless. What options did you try to activate?
I own a 3200 kit, exactly what Podkall mentioned. I’m confused about what’s happening and why my CPU shows lower frequencies in CPUID even though my RAM is running at the same speed as Podkall’s. Still, it’s causing trouble because my BIOS resets every time I turn off my power strip.
Reinstall the CPU carefully. Verify no debris is present on the pins or within the socket.
Sure, there are similar gadgets in the same power strip that stay lit, which isn't great since I sleep close to them. I'll give it another shot next week!
