Check your RAM configuration and ensure it matches the specifications. Verify that the XMP profile is correctly applied and that the BIOS supports it. If possible, test with a different RAM module to rule out hardware issues. Consult the motherboard manual for XMP compatibility details. Consider resetting BIOS settings or reinstalling drivers if needed.

It seems there might be an issue with one of the parts, such as the CPU, RAM, or motherboard.

You wouldn’t notice other issues or problems unless the part was faulty; XMP seems to be causing trouble only in this case. It’s working fine for me otherwise.

Not always. A faulty IMC on the CPU might lead to problems only with RAM and XMP settings. If the RAM itself has an issue, it could cause problems regardless of the CPU. The CPU or RAM is usually the main source of trouble.

You can check for CPU issues by monitoring performance metrics and comparing them to expected benchmarks. Since you're adding more RAM, ensure it's not causing bottlenecks. Look for signs like high temperatures, unusual power consumption, or erratic behavior that might point to the CPU being the problem.

Experiment with various RAM modules, test them alongside another processor.

I added two more RAM modules, each with 8GB, and XMP is now functioning properly. I’m not entirely sure why it works, but I’m pleased with the improvement in performance.
