Question Computer Restarts every 20 Seconds if I Have XMP Enabled in the BIOS

[jawdrop225]

I Noticed my Ram has been running only at 2400Mhz instead the 3200 it's rated at. Any Suggestions? I just want to get my memory to put out its stock frequency..


I5-9400f

MSI MPG z390 Gaming Edge AC

Crucial Ballistix Sport 24gb (3x8Gb) DDR4

Nvidia GTX 970

Set the XMP profile in the BIOS under DRAM settings.

3X8 ?

Bios version E7B17IMS.A40
3x8 is 3 sticks of 8gb, all the same model

That's not normal , try it with 2x8 , 2 sticks , slots A2 and B2.

I tried your previous suggestion and it lead to me having the same problem..:/ i'll need to try removing the extra ram a little later

Could you elaborate on how it is not normal? I figured it would all read the same as long as it was the same speeds and model?

Memory is best run in Dual Channel Mode , 2x8 , nobody ever runs 24 GB. It's usually 2x4 , 2x8 , 4X8 , 2x16 etc \ equates to DC Mode.
