Reset the CMOS, then it should work again.

On Windows 11, EFI Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 can cause issues if not properly configured. Resetting involves removing the battery, disconnecting the USB, and reinserting it. Alternatively, you can use a shorting method to bypass the boot process. Always back up settings before making changes.

Ensure the bios version includes secureboot and tmp by default. If missing, enable them manually. Navigate to the boot settings, disable CSM, select window suefi mode, and import all keys. Proceed to adcanved, pick the first option, switch TPM to firmware TPM, and activate XMP during setup.

Proceed with the process by disconnecting the power source, removing RAM if needed, then reinstall it. After installation, update the BIOS settings as instructed.

Remove the old RAM, install a new one, power off the PSU, remove the coin battery above the GPU via IO, wait 10 minutes, insert the new battery, restart the PSU, and then turn it on.

Sure, just input 2 and then press and your XMP may not function properly with that other RAM.

Yeah, I've done RAM swaps before on that specific board, but it wasn't about adding more RAM—it was the same method, just without removing the existing one.
