Hello,

I have been having some issues with my RAM for the last month. Not sure what caused the issues though. My pc started running very slow and programs were crashing so I checked task manager to find that my PC only showed half the amount of RAM was installed. I did a bunch of tests (none negative) and decided to RMA the RAM. Once I got the new RAM (4 days ago) my PC seemed to run fine. Until today. Same issues: PC is running slow, programs are crashing, chrome tabs show out of memory, etc. While I was messing around trying to fix things I noticed my RAM is only running at 2133mhz instead of 3000. I went into my BIOS and X.M.P. was disabled. When I enabled it (switched to 3000) my PC wouldn't post so I had to clear the CMOS. And this happens every time I try to enable XMP.
