Question Xmp locks up my pc.

[Jeremy32]

My 14900k locks up while i have xmp enabled at 6000mhz. The only way i can get it to boot is to drop the dram to 5600mhz. Any suggestions on how i may be able to get a stable 6000mhz?

Make and model of your motherboard? BIOS version for your motherboard? Link to your ram kit?

first suggestion:
Tell us the make/model of your ram kit,
Make/model of the motherboard,
and motherboard bios level.

Any answers without specs is just guessing.

EDIT the E in your model number is not on the Asus list, this is Corsair memory with a Z in the model number where the E is in yours and what the Z is representing.

Z: The model version, which denotes platform compatibility.
