Hi everyone! I've hit a snag with my PC after upgrading my RAM to Corsair Dominator 64GB. Whenever I enable XMP, my system gets stuck on the DRAM indicator and boots into Safe BIOS mode. Occasionally, a restart gets me into Windows, but other times it just loops and I get a BSOD with a kernel security error. For now, I've disabled XMP and I'm running it at 4800. I've tried shifting the RAM sticks around and performed a Memtest. I'm curious if anyone can suggest timings or voltage settings that might stabilize the XMP profile? In BIOS, it keeps defaulting to the XMP 6800 Profile, which isn't working well for me. I've also attempted the 6600 Profile, only to encounter the same issue on reboot. Here are my build specs: Core i7 14-700F, ROG Strix Z790-F Gaming WiFi, and the RAM is the 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 (2x32GB) rated at 6600MT/s, 1.40 volts, 32-39-39-76. Thanks for any help!

XMP can be tricky since it pushes speeds above the standard. I suggest you try enabling the XMP profile and then manually set the speed to 6000 MT/s. Make sure the RAM is compatible with your motherboard as well.
Should I adjust any timings or voltages to match the advertised speeds on the box?
