You didn’t give much info, but setting XMP is changing your ram speed.   Why are you changing it ?   Unless you have experience with tweaking ram I would leave it alone. For most, a difference in ram speed does little.

Setting XMP to a higher ram speed can definitely crash or make unstable your pc.   Ram speed needs to play nice with cpu OC speed, etc.    

To get back to a stable system go into Bios or UEFI, Advanced tab, Tools and load a saved profile DS saved to when they made your rig. Use your motherboard manual for your specific mobo to navigate.   

Good luck.

Got it.   Once you get it back to how DS delivered it I would just sit back and enjoy. DS does all the hard work so we can just have fun.   Tweaking can be fun and we always want a bit more, but if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Lol

Good luck.
