Hey! I heard about your girlfriend's situation. She upgraded her system by swapping to a 32GB kit, but it’s causing big problems. The RAM keeps blue-screening in XMP mode and sometimes even without it. She decided to revert back to the older 16GB sticks to avoid these issues, but now everything feels unstable. Programs are loading too fast and freezing, and she’s seeing a lot of crashes. I’m not sure if anyone else has faced this exact problem, but it sounds like a tough fix. Let me know if you want some suggestions on how to troubleshoot or reset the system properly. She’s doing her best, and I hope things improve soon!

Restore BIOS to its original setting. Should this not fix the problem, run a RAM check using MemTest86. If the Master Boot Record remains intact, the motherboard might be faulty.
