Define Basic Bios arrangements? Did you manually set all timings and speeds etc or just do xmp profile?

Are you using the Asrock motherboard utility that could possibly be overwriting your bios xmp settings back to default? If not I would try doing it manually rather than XMP.

it was a hardware issue, apparently in the mobo manual if you want to oc it must be in a2/b2
