Turns out that I must have warped the board when installing it, and it was causing serious instability (go figure). I have no idea how I did this. It's VERY bent when you look at it from the side. once it's out of the case, and I never used anywhere near the amount of force it would have taken...

I am having this EXACT same issue on my board. I have the Asus z390-E. Ram is fine, DIMMs are fine, CPU and GPU run fine and have been tested and benched, no bent pins, and it will run with one stick of ram and XMP enabled. But as soon as I enable XMP1: It boot loops to bios, then I can exit and...

I have tried using slower speeds, it does the same double orange light thing. I'm not too worried about the 3200 and 2666 difference, but clearly something is wrong with my mobo or something if it's not taking 2 sticks of ram but it will take one. Could this be a PSU problem? Could my MOBO be...

Sorry, I should have clarified. I've been working on this all day and I'm tired, haha. XMP 1: Causes boot loop three times, POSTS to safe mode, and then I can exit bios and it starts normally. However, it runs at 2133mhz. This happens every time I use XMP 1, with 2 sticks. XMP2: When I use...

Okay, tested them each, one by one, DIMM by DIMM. Seems to work fine. They all OC correctly with XMP 1 as well, according to CPUz and a benchmark I ran with each of them. As long as it's just one. The second I put two in there, it either boots up but then holds with TWO orange lights near the...

Yes, it works in any slot.

Right. I made some mistakes with purchasing the ram, to say the least. However, shouldn't this ram: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232476?Item=N82E16820232476 work if I only use TWO sticks of it? I am not using 4, as I am aware that won't work since they are...

The two sticks I currenly have been trying to use are from the SAME package and they are a pair. I put the other two up becuase I realized that they won't be working because you are right, they are 2 and not 4. So I purchased a set of 4 ram sticks and tried them, below is a link to that ram. It...

Shouldn't it work with just two sticks then? That's what I've been trying to get working, I gave up on using 4 sticks a while ago. I did a test a few mins ago, using only one stick of RAM, and the XMP actually works fine with ONE stick of ram in. But as soon as I add the second stick of RAM, I...

Hello! I am having an issue with my MOBO and XMP. I am not sure if it is a defective MOBO, or if I need to manually set up my RAM, IDK what is going on here, I am bamboozled. Here are my specs. I9 9900 K RTX 2080 TI G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4...

Thank you for your suggestions! I did them, and still no luck. XMP is on, and they are not mixed ram, they are the correct speeds for my CPU, and they are correctly installed dual channel (and recognized in system information as such). I have the memory in correctly, they are working as dual...

My MOBO is ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Intel Motherboard Sorry, I didn't see the second part of your comment.

Here are my relevant PC specs i9 9900k gtx 2080TI 16gb (2x8) ddr4 2400mhz (XML 1 turned on in BIOS, if I turn it off it makes no difference to the boot issues) ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Intel Motherboard Before I begin, let me put a few things...

"Any help? If my MOBO is dead after I upgraded this I'm going to ... dance around in a fairy outfit while singing the H.R. Pufnstuf theme song" better? :)
