So, I have an Gaming Aorus 7 Z370 with a i7 8700k(Seasonic Gold 650W, GTX 970 for now) and these G.Skill memory sticks: https://gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c14d-16gtz
Rated 3200Mhz 14-14-14-34 1.35v made Nov 2017 according to what's printed on the sticks. All components except the older GPU and SATA SSD's were bought in December last year.
I have the last BIOS F7 for the Gaming Aorus 7(had everything from December to today updated).
Problem is whenever I want to cold boot the PC after setting the XMP/manual 3200Mhz it doesn't work in any way.
Tried various manual: 3200Mhz 15-15-15-36, 16-18-18-38 etc. And 3000Mhz, 2933Mhz all with 1.35v etc. Just doesn't seem to work in anyway except for default when cold booting: the system goes on for 3-4 seconds, resets and loops like this infinitely until I switch off the PSU, leave it off for 15s, then it boots into default. Mobo RGB don't lit up, only fans go on and that's all.
This has been bugging me for a few months and can't seem to find a solution given I've waited for more BIOS updates, it's pretty clear it just doesn't work.
Of course, I can always set the XMP in the BIOS, reboot and use it like this, but always have to remember to reset to default by the time I want to shut down. No BSOD's or something, works fine apparently (even with the 8700k set at 4,7Ghz - all 6 cores) and it passed memtest with no errors too from the first days (Both on default and 3200Mhz XMP ON), just doesn't when I cold boot.
Is there a solution to get it posting except for what I did?
