Bob the original results are up the thread--just enabling XMP with the original configuration results in an endless bootup...
You showed you enabled xmp and the ram speed went to 3600 but you had the ram in the wrong slots.

Then you started talking about adding more ram.

So what happens if you use the orig 2 sticks in the proper slots with xmp?
 
Here are new results

Here are new results with tweaked frequency. I lowered the frequency and the XMP profile held without an endless reboot...
