Hi all.
Two weeks ago I bought a Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X with this setup:

Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X (upgraded to BIOS F20B)
Intel i9 10850K 3.6GHz
Crucial Ballistix 16GB DDR4 3000 Mhz, CL15, UDIMM, Red - BL16G30C15U4R (x2 = 32GB)
SSD WD Black SN750, 500GB, M.2, NVMe, Leitura 3470MB/s, Gravação 2600MB/s - WDS500G3X0C


No graphic board now cause I will choose one in 1-2 weeks but I wanna use my setup on Windows 10, so Windows 10 is installed.

I used 2 memories on A1 and B1, then A2 and B2, then only on A1 and everytime after using the Windows for some minutes it restarts. Black screen, DEL/F12 Screen and new boot. I'm using the XMP Profile for the memories. On the BIOS they are "Crucial 16GB 2667MHz" but using with the XMP Profile it shows "DDR4-3000 15-16-16-35-69-1.35". So I tested with no XMP too, with XMP, and the system is still resetting.
I tried with other alternative system and same behaviour after run the system: some minutes or sometimes seconds, and the system restarts, black screen, DEL/F12 Screen... and load the system.

Just an extra info, I entered on the BIOS config screen and the computer got working for 5 hours on the BIOS screen without any crash or reset.

This problem occurred to with the BIOS that came with the motherboard, so I upgraded to F20B trying to "fix" the problem.
My Intel i9 are not overclocked.

Any clue about this problem? Maybe Memory incompatibility? What can I do? Kind Regards.

[SOLVED]
I bought with the new setup a new PSU model T-DAGGER, 600W T-TPS202 that will be used with my old GA-X58A0UD3R but has the same 600W. So I start with this T-DAGGER PSU the test of my computer. I inserted 1 memory on 1 slot (A1) only and configured to 2 cores my CPU. No resets. So I improve using steps of 2 to test, 2 then 4 then 6 then 8. So no resets. I inserted the 2nd memory on the slot 2 (B1) and it resets, so I put my CPU core to 1, no resets. When it reached 4, resets agian. So I replaced the PSU with and old one from Thermaltake 600w Smart Series 80 Plus and no more resets with all cores or anything else. Living and learning :)
