PC Model: Asus Rog Strix GL12CX
Motherboard: 60PD02P0-MB0B04

Old RAM: Samsung 8gb x 2 2667mhz
New RAM: Crucial 16gb x2 3200mhz

I previously ordered ram for this PC a month ago, but it would only run at 2133mhz, and games ran pretty badly compared to my old ram (I upgraded from 16gb to 32gb) So I refunded it and after looking at other forum posts on Asus's website, I saw that there were some links to Crucials website with the website showing on each ram I clicked "The selected configuration is compatible with your ROG Strix GL12CX." so I ordered a kit of 16gb.

Now it comes in today, I installed it and off boot it was 2667 which was good at the start because the other ram I tried using booted up to 2133mhz and nothing higher. Now whenever I set my XMP profile to custom, and set it to 3200mhz, nothing changes (expected) so I tried both XMP profiles. Both have the same result, they either cause a Boot Loop, major BSOD issues, or it changes nothing. Now I'm pretty upset, because I had to refund the other ram and wait 2 weeks for this ram to come in.

Now it doesn't go up to the MHz, and it now causes my PC to crash and be generally unstable. My BIOS has no AI tweaker options, literally nothing. This motherboard is custom made for the prebuilt it comes with, its so limited on upgrades im going to buy a new motherboard, but in the mean time is there anything I could do to get this ram working? I don't want to switch back to my old ram for who knows how long because generally the things I use on my PC run pretty bad because of my limited ram.
