XMP enabled in BIOS causes a black screen issue.
You're experiencing an issue after enabling XMP profile for your 5600 MHz DDR5 RAM. The black screen and disappearing underscore during boot could be related to how the system handles memory profiles or power states. Check if your monitor supports XMP and ensure it's calibrated correctly. Also, verify that your BIOS settings are stable and not conflicting with the RAM configuration. If the problem persists, consider updating your BIOS or consulting the manufacturer's support.

I’ve experimented with various setups and noticed noticeable improvements. I’m using an old 1080p 60 Hz monitor with a VGA-to-HDMI adapter, which is unusual since my new setup supports 165 Hz and HDMI. Some users have successfully enabled XMP profiles without issues. Any suggestions?
Optimize speed by activating BIOS Advanced Mode, then selecting OC, followed by Memory Context Restore and disabling it.
Based on my experience, XMP or the AMD variant hasn't functioned well and often led to system issues. I've chosen not to use it and instead manually configure frequency, CAS, and voltages because it performs best for my setup—even though it takes a bit of effort. Check out tutorials or ask others on forums like Reddit or Overclock.net for guidance; they can help clarify things. It may seem challenging at first, but I've stayed committed.
