Hey Lurkers & Posters!

I've recently run into an issue with XMP on my build after upgrading my RAM.

I'll get stuck on the DRAM light and Post into Safe BIOS mode. Sometimes, a restart will let me into Windows and be stable; sometimes, it just boots into a loop, BSODs with a kernel security error...

I've done a Memtest, and moved sticks around, I'm currently running with XMP disabled at 4800

Anyone know some timings and voltage settings that could help, or even why this is happening?

In BIOS, it loves to default to XMP 6800 Profile - Latest BIOS already installed. I've tried popping it onto to 6600 Profile, it boots and next boot we will have the same issue.

Build Deets:

Core i7 14-700F

ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming WIfi

64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 2X32GB (on the box: 6600MT/s, 1.40volts, 32-39-39-76)

GPU irrelevant ;)

Cheers guys!
