xmp causes my computer to enter an infinite loop during startup.
i used dual-channel setup and it started up correctly. After turning on XMP profile at 3600MHz, the system took about five minutes before booting again using BIOS reset at 2400MHz. Switching to P2 with 3000MHz also worked fine. With just one stick or two, it booted at 3600MHz without issues. My motherboard is B66 M. DDR3 RAM, Kingston Rury Blast 3600MHz, 2x8GB, and the CPU is an i5-12500.
I understand the RAM claims to operate at 3600MHz, but sometimes the controller struggles. It's similar to Jazytwocents' DDR4 which works best around 4000MHz—try enabling XMP and lowering it to about 3400MHz or even lower if needed.
It functioned well at 3600Hz previously. Now with the setting at 3000Hz, my PC starts up more slowly. Using a single channel allows it to reach up to 3800MHz, but I’m not sure why that matters.
