Hey everyone! I just finished building my first PC using a Gigabyte B650M Gaming Plus WiFi motherboard, along with a Ryzen 5 9600X, Corsair Vengeance 32GB (6000 CL30) RAM, and an RX 6900 XT 16GB GPU. However, I'm having trouble when I try to enable EXPO in the BIOS; my PC shuts down and won't start again. Does anyone have tips on this issue? Also, is enabling EXPO really worth it?

It sounds like when you try to turn on EXPO, your PC just crashes and doesn’t boot at all, right? First off, you might want to disable EXPO temporarily and try running Memtest86 while you're away (it takes about 7 to 8 hours). It's totally worth turning on EXPO because it lets you run your RAM at the proper 6000 speed instead of defaulting to 4800. Why not use what you paid for? If your RAM is compatible and still causes issues, there could be a defect in the motherboard. Have you also checked if your BIOS is up to date?
How many RAM modules do you have installed? Using 32GB of RAM at 6000MHz with CL30 is great, but make sure you’re using the right slots for dual-channel operation. Sometimes the configuration can affect performance and stability.
