XMP is active, the PC is operational yet there is no screen visibility?

Hello, I'm facing a small issue and not sure how to resolve it. Everyone suggested enabling XMP in BIOS. After doing so, the PC restarts and doesn't show a display, but it runs for a while before restarting again. When I shut down and restart via BIOS, everything works perfectly. Do I really need to enable XMP?

Motherboard BIOS has been updated to version 2102.

Here are my PC specifications:
i5 14600K
Deepcool AK620 ZERO DARK
CORSAIR DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36 Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Black (CMK32GX5M2E6000C36)
MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular
RTX 3070 Founders Edition
Western Digital Black SN770 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4
Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F GAMING WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard

I'm not sure. Would you like to turn it on?
If automatic memory overclocking with XMP isn't working, you can attempt manual overclocking.
Please share CPU-Z screenshots for the memory and speed sections.

Also, which RAM slots have you installed the modules in? They should be in slots A2, B2 (second and fourth from the CPU).

Did you reset the CMOS after confirming the BIOS was updated to the newest release? I’d take off some pressure from the cooler’s base and check if turning on X.M.P works smoothly.

I haven't performed CMOS clearing following the BIOS update. It might be related to that. I'll look into it once I'm back home.

yes i have installed them and they are located on A2 B2. it only began working after the bios update, and i haven't enabled xmp since receiving the pc.

I just noticed that when I turned on XMP from BIOS, I ended up in more settings and it was set to XMP 1. I’m not sure if there’s an issue with the XMP1 setting, but whenever I change it to XMP1 it causes a blue screen. I shut down the PC, restarted it, and went back to BIOS. Right now I’ve been manually adjusting settings—just changed the DRM frequency from 4800mhz to 5600mhz, and everything else is set to AUTO. Is this safe?

Running RAM at XMP frequencies also demands higher DRAM voltage—likely around 1.25V or 1.35V. The standard DDR5 voltage is 1.1V. I requested screenshots from CPU-Z, which would display the necessary DRAM voltage requirements.

The 6000mhz mode needs 1.4V. I wouldn't go that high. Adjust latency to 36-44-44-96, set DDR voltage to 1.35V, and slowly raise frequency from 5600mhz to 6000mhz. Restart and check stability after each step.
