I'm having issues with my AMD 9700X setup. I have an MSI Pro B650-P motherboard and 32GB of Vengeance Pro DDR5 RAM. My PC runs fine at the default RAM speed, but whenever I enable XMP (or EXPO, as some might refer to it) to get the RAM to its rated speed, the games crash after a while. I'm confident it's not a GPU issue or related to drivers, and I've also updated my motherboard. Any ideas why this could be happening?

If your games crash after enabling XMP, it could be due to a few reasons. Make sure all your BIOS settings are correctly configured. Sometimes, enabling XMP can set the RAM voltage too low for stable operation, so considering a bump in voltage might help. Still, keep it within manufacturer guidelines. Have you tried running your RAM at a slightly lower speed to see if it’s stable? That can help identify if it’s purely an overclocking issue.
It sounds like you're running into stability problems when overclocking your RAM. When you enable XMP, it automatically adjusts the frequency and timings, which sometimes can lead to issues if your RAM or motherboard isn't handling it well. You might want to try increasing the voltage slightly or tightening the timings manually to see if that helps. It's also a good idea to stress test your RAM after making changes to ensure stability.
