Hey everyone! I'm running into a weird issue with my RAM and could use some help. My Kingston Fury Beast RAM is supposed to run at 3200MHz, but every few days after I restart my PC, it drops back to 2400MHz. I've tried everything to fix it—adjusting the settings in BIOS, enabling XMP profiles, and tweaking the voltage, but nothing seems to stick. It's super frustrating! Also, I need to enable Secure Boot to play Battlefield 6, but I have to turn it back on every time I want to play. My motherboard is an A520M-HDV, and I'm not sure if the problem is related to that, the BIOS, or maybe something else altogether. Any suggestions?

Are you using four sticks of RAM? Sometimes mixed configurations can cause issues with maintaining speeds. If you only have two sticks, that’s probably not the problem, but it’s worth checking!
Definitely look into the battery health of your motherboard. A weak battery can lead to all sorts of strange problems, including the settings not saving. It's worth a check!
Have you tried replacing the battery on your motherboard? It sounds like your CMOS settings might be resetting, which can cause the RAM speed to drop. It's a common issue that can be easily overlooked.
I haven't done that; how do I check the battery health?
Nope, I have two sticks, 2x8GB. My motherboard only has two slots.
