PC still won’t post after the RAM change, all attempts failed.
Sorry for the delayed reply, but I've been focused on completing my degree this week (great progress!). I'm only using "setting 1" or "auto" for XMP, but it was set to "setting 1" so I switched to auto. Still no success—no new posts about RAM.
Verify the Crucial platform and confirm their support for compatibility. I only utilize Crucial and thoroughly test every project they've developed with their tools—they consistently perform well. They should handle returns or replacements smoothly if any problems arise.
Do you know someone who has a PC you can test with? Just to confirm they’re compatible without XMP, especially if the borrowed system can’t handle the required speed. Are there any XMP switches or jumpers built into the motherboard?
Great news for everyone! Both sticks didn’t work, so I ordered replacements from Amazon. The new RAM arrived without any issues, and the system started perfectly. Everything turned out smoothly!
Hey everyone! I’ve encountered the same issue myself. I tried various fixes but nothing worked. I decided to take it to a technician, which I did against my will (lol). When he connected the power cable and monitor, everything functioned normally except for one detail that caught my eye. Upon startup, the BIOS screen appeared, prompting a hardware change request. That’s when I noticed something interesting—the BIOS was accessible via the monitor using HDMI.
My monitor is older; it simply turned off with a button press and used an HDMI connection. My new one is modern, automatically powers on, recognizes the connection, and uses DigitalPort. He also connected his monitor directly to the motherboard via HDMI, as my Intel i7 supports that, unlike my NVIDIA model.
I found several online discussions about boot problems and accessing BIOS through monitors connected to DigitalPort. Notably, NVIDIA released a firmware update to fix this issue (though it didn’t work for me). Here are some links that might help:

It seems I stumbled upon the solution—thank you for the tips!
