Hello, I recently installed my new PC and have been facing problems with the RAM. It should run at 3200MHz, but when I enable XMP and try to use that speed, I encounter numerous errors and games crash. My components include: RAM - G.Skill Aegis 32GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dual Channel Kit MOBO, CPU - i5 11600K 3.9GHz, and a GIGABYTE Z590 D. I’m wondering if there’s a BIOS setting I missed, aside from activating XMP.

Are you selecting slots 2 and 4, with slot 1 being the nearest to the CPU? Additionally, consider updating the BIOS if it isn't the most recent version.

I maintain my BIOS at the latest version, and the RAM is placed in slots 2 and 4 according to the serial number. I thought I should give it a try since my MOBO initially didn't recognize XMP support.
