I recently enabled Expo for my Corsair DDR5 RAM, which is 32GB (16x2). After enabling it, Task Manager showed the speed at 6200 MT/s, even though my RAM is supposed to run at 6000 MHz. Initially, everything was fine – I played games and rendered videos without any issues. However, when I opened Valorant, I encountered a blue screen error. After restarting my PC, it wouldn't boot and kept showing the blue screen again. I disabled Expo, and then my PC booted up fine. I re-enabled Expo but turned off memory context, and now it seems to be working. Can anyone explain what the problem might be with memory context?

Disabling memory context was probably a good call. That setting can sometimes interfere with stability when overclocking. It's worth testing your system without that enabled, especially if you're encountering crashes. Just keep an eye on temps and performance.
It sounds like your RAM running at 6200 MT/s is unstable. Since your RAM is rated for 6000 MHz, it might not handle the overclock well, especially when running demanding applications like games. Sticking to the 6000 MHz speed might give you better stability overall.
That makes sense! Sometimes pushing RAM too far can lead to issues like blue screens, especially if you only notice problems under load. Keeping it at a safe speed should help.
