You're facing a frustrating situation with your system. It seems the issue might be related to the Z690 motherboard, as you've confirmed compatibility but still encounter crashes and memory errors. The XMP setting is causing problems, while disabling it resolves them. You've checked drivers, updated geForce, and even ran memory tests, yet the crashes persist. It could point to a GPU or RAM issue, or possibly a need for a return of the product. Your concern about needing an RMA is valid given the recurring failures.

No, the system does not crash when using XMP.

I turned it off this morning, so I won’t know for days whether I’ll encounter another BSOD. I may need to return and attempt again. If it doesn’t work, I’ll consider returning the RAM and testing XMP stability, or switching to a different board.

You might skip XMP (if the BSoDs disappear) for a smoother run

But these tiny, almost imperceptible changes...
