[SOLVED] my motherboard says it takes DDR5 6400 ram, would DDR5 4800 cause memory problems?

Just built a new computer and it keeps restarting. Finally got windows 11 to tell me it's a memory problem. I've tried each stick (I have 4 sticks of 32GB DDR5 4800 corsairs vengeance(ik WAY TOO MUCH but I felt like it)) on its own and windows 11 always crashes.

We need a FULL parts list of this system
Make/model of everything.

This is a brand new install of Win 11?

Are you on the latest BIOS for that board?
The initial BIOSs shipped for AM5 were horrible. I couldn't even get mine to POST until I did the BIOS flashback to the latest version.

Also, make sure you are putting the memory in the correct slots. (usually the second and fourth slots counting outward from the CPU)

thanks for reminding me to update the BIOS
