Hello! You're just starting out with your new PC build. After updating the BIOS, installing Windows and drivers, you tried enabling XMP but it didn't work. Your components include a Ryzen 7 5700X with the latest BIOS, RAM in slots 2 and 4, and you're using an XMP profile with DRAM set to Auto, which only sets it to 2666 MHz. You can manually adjust the frequency to 3200 MHz without issues, but 3400 and 3600 cause crashes. The issue might be related to the RAM speed not matching your CPU or motherboard requirements. According to G.Skills, make sure your RAM is compatible with both your CPU and motherboard.

I understand why that matters (a lot of "read that" and "off memory" come into play). It's better to stick with 3200 for now.

Sometimes the newest BIOS has issues with memory overclocking. It might be worth testing older versions instead of sticking to the latest one. Begin by manually entering all XMP settings. The BIOS could misinterpret the profiles, so you may need to adjust them yourself. Adjust the clock speed to 3600, lower the DRAM voltage to 1.35V, and modify memory timing parameters (advanced OC mode might be needed). Set tCL to 18, tRCDRD, tRCDWR, tRP to 22, and tRAS to 42. Try booting; if it fails, increase the SOC voltage to 1.15V—this range is optimal for memory controllers. You could tweak ProcODT or lower the frequency to 3400 or 3200 if needed.

Thank you for your detailed response! I plan to attempt that tomorrow morning since it's quite late for me.
