Hi everyone, I'm facing a problem with my new setup. Windows crashes to a blue screen when XMP is enabled and the DRAM frequency is set to 3200MHz. If only XMP is active, the BIOS reports the RAM as 2133MHz. I've experienced this before while adjusting the RAM speed to 3200MHz, but I'm unsure how to fine-tune the settings safely since I'm not very comfortable with timing changes. It happened before and caused a crash. Do you have any suggestions on what might be causing this?

No, I haven't updated the bios yet.
