Hello everyone, I was hoping to get some help with this situation as I've been unable to get it to work on my own. I recently put together the following parts:
I haven't been able to run the memory at full speed however, it is only currently running at 2133Mhz 1.2v which is the fallback speed.
In my BIOS the memory is detected correctly as 3200 MHz dual channel with the correct timings (as printed on the packaging) and I am able to turn on XMP which does run the memory at 3200. I've left everything else as default.
The issue is that the computer isn't stable at this frequency - it crashes randomly when loaded and sometimes crashes without any load. I've also had it not boot at all and had to do a CMOS clear in order to get it booted again.
I've searched around the internet and some other people have had similar issues but not the same as mine. I've tried the following things:
Searching online I found that this might happen if one of the RAM sticks in the kit is borked - is this the case? If so, should I just abandon these and try to get a RMA?
Any help would be appreciated!
~Thanks!

I've searched around the internet and some other people have had similar issues but not the same as mine. I've tried the following things:
- Updated bios on the motherboard - flashed it to the latest version available on the manufacturer's website (November 2019)
- Tried running at a slower speed by manually setting timing / clocks (2666 and 2993) but neither is stable
- Tried upping the Vram voltage (1.35 is in the XMP profile, I've tried up to 1.42) which increased stability but does still crashes under a stress test
