Hello,

I'm really stuck here and am quite confused. Today I decided to clean out my PC with compressed air, I am running G.Skill trident RGB ram (2400) and did have it using XMP profile in Bios before cleaning. When I turned my PC on after cleaning, it came up with this:

"CPU or Memory Changed
!!! Please enter Setup to configure your system. Press F1 to Run Setup. Press F2 to load default values"

So I went to the BIOS to discover my XMP profile now says "No XMP Support" defaulting the ram back 2133Mhz. Everything works fine (other than XMP).

I have 4x8GB sticks (32GB) of ram by the way.

The steps I've taken:

I updated my BIOS
I cleared my mobo (removed battery, powered down)
Removed all 2 of my 4 ram sticks.

I'm really confused, I don't understand how this could happen when the ram wasn't removed before cleaning. My specs are:
Win 10
MSI Z170M Mortar MOBO
i7 6700k (no OC)
GTX 1080 ti FE

I can (and have) overclocked the ram manually, but I am just concerned as to what has taken place and caused this.

I hope this makes sense and someone can help point me in the right direction! Thanks a tonne.
