I'm encountering a frustrating issue with my new build. After installing Windows 11 and updating drivers, I tried to enable XMP in the BIOS to optimize my RAM settings, but when I save and exit, my screen goes black. I've reset the CMOS multiple times and updated my BIOS to the latest non-beta version. Here are my specs: Ryzen 5 5600, RX 9060XT 16GB, MSI B550M VDH Pro WiFi, and Hyper Fury 16GB x2 (CL18-22-22). I can get into the BIOS without issues, but once I enable XMP to profile 1, I end up with a black screen. If I disable XMP, my PC works fine, but it's stuck at 2400MHz. What's going wrong?

You might want to try enabling XMP and then manually lowering the RAM speed by a few hundred MHz. Sometimes, the RAM profile isn't stable at its rated speed, but lower settings can work just fine!
Glad I could help! Just be careful with the RAM speeds you choose. Sometimes they don't run well at their maximum settings.
Another suggestion is to manually lower the RAM speed or slightly increase the voltage (like in .01V increments) until you find a stable setting. It might just need a little tweak to work properly!
This worked for me! I set mine to 3400MHz and it booted up perfectly. I was too tired to test higher speeds though—resetting the CMOS is a hassle with my setup.
