I turn on my XMP profile and my computer blue screens. Everything is set to auto and the only thing I apply is DRAM Frequency. I own 2 x 16gb 5600mhz sticks and when I turn on the XMP profile it displays that it has changed to this speed. However after doing a bit of research my processor is an i9-12900k and apparently only supports up to 4800mhz is this true? If I am wrong could someone help me understand why turning on XMP blue screens my PC.

Run memtest using the recommended software. Save the program to a USB drive and connect it to your computer. Power down your system, insert the USB, and restart from the boot menu. The tool will test your RAM and report any issues. Successful results mean no errors; otherwise, send the RAM kit back to the seller.

Only officially supports 4800MT/s, but in real use most systems can handle 6000MT/s on a 4 DIMM board, and top models should manage 7000MT/s+ with a 2 DIMM setup. You’re likely hitting memory errors at 5600MT/s. I’d run a stress test on each stick individually—checking XMP and stock settings across all channels—to determine if the issue is with the speed or the memory modules themselves. The best option for 12th/13th gen is TestMem5 with the 1usmus_v3 preset, though many other tests exist with their own advantages and drawbacks.
