I have a setup with 128GB Corsair Vengeance RAM, a B550M motherboard, and a Ryzen 5700G. I'm experiencing random crashes and failing memory tests when XMP is disabled and the RAM is running at 2133 MHz. However, when I enable XMP, everything runs fine and passes the memory test. Should I think about returning my RAM?

This might be a voltage issue you're running into. Have you tried adjusting any voltage settings in your BIOS?
It's pretty impressive that you're running 128GB on a B550 with Ryzen. It is strange that XMP gives you stability while standard settings do not. Keep in mind that XMP often uses higher voltages, which could be why you're seeing a difference.
If you've already tested both RAM pairs individually and they passed, it does sound more like a motherboard quirk than a RAM issue.
I'm not really comfortable tweaking the voltages, especially since my other builds with the same setup are working perfectly fine. For now, I'm just going with XMP.
