Setup:
RAM: 4 sticks of 8GB xpg spectrix D60G DDR4-3200MHz
MOBO: ASRock X570 Steel Legend
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X (not oc)
GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ RX 5700 XT
Problem:
I bought 4 sticks of 8GB 3200MHz RAM. However when checking the hardware (cpu-z) I found out the ram is running at 2666MHz. I didn't understand why this was, and then I realized I never enabled XMP. I went to bios and enabled the default xmp profile, but when rebooting I get a blue screen of death (kmode exception not handled), while or shortly after rebooting.
Thing I tried:
Why is the speed lower than advertised?
Why do I get blue screen when switching on xmp, and how do I fix it?

Thing I tried:
- I did a full memory check (windows and memtest86) and all the sticks seem good.
- Overvolting doesn't seem necessary since the default xmp profile sets it to 1.35, which is exactly matching the specs of the ram.
- Using 2 sticks at a time, one by one
- The other xmp profile does work, at 3000MHz and slower timings.
