new system overclocking failed without any overclocking??

[Dominic Dauphin]

I've just build a new system and on startup I got this message: overcloking failed hit F1 etc...
But I havent tried any overclocking......
After installing widows 8.1 the first time everything looks fine.
I downloaded my nvidia drivers for MSI 970 ME and on restart no more mouse pointer...
and this failed overclocking problem....
I've formated my HD, re-installed video card driver, same problem.... but with or without the card driver i get the failed overclock problem....

CPU i7 5820k
Cpu cooler h100i
Mobo asus x99 pro 3.1
video msi 970 million edition
memory 16gb (4x4)g skills ripjaw 4 ddr4 3000 (pc4 24000) F4-3000c15q
HD Samsung 850 evo SSD 500gb

You can get this sometimes with bad RAM speed/timings. Happens on the AMD side as well.

Go into BIOS and make sure you're using the right XMP profile if available. Then run memtest for 2-3 passes. If you get no errors then the RAM is OK and could be the CPU isn't seated well.

Do you have XMP enabled? if so that's prob it, to run the 3000 sticks you'll prob need an OC to the CPU, may need additional VCCSA (system agent voltage) and possibly other adjustments, 3000 sticks aren 't always easy

I didint change anything in the bios I wanted to isntall everything first.
I have 2 choices in xmp profiles in ezmode, I put it at disable but after every restart it goas back to profile number 1

no other choices in ezmode, in advance mode I got plenty options but I'm a newb with this!
In Ai overclock tuner it is set to xmp (auto and manual are other options)
I ses that my processor core ratio limit is at 29??? I didn't touch anything but I'm pretty sure it was higher the first time I entered the bios...
Now my 5820 frequency is 2900mhz (supposed to be 33000mhz!?)

my motherboard seems to go to the xmp profile #1 even when I disable it.
I guess that I'll need to oc the cpu.... never did that...
where should I start?
