So I freshly build a pc with i7 10700k, asrock z490 steel legend, g.skill sniper x 2x8 3600mhz in A2 and B2 slots and with my old asus Cerberus gtx 1070ti.  After all installation of drivers and stuff, I went to enable xmp. but after xmp enable windows won’t boot. It says “boot failed” and reset xmp to disable.  I tried changing slots but it didn’t work. But when I tried with only 1 ram xmp works fine no boot fails and works at 3600mhz. I tried the other ram the same way and it works fine too. But every time I put 2 rams together it won’t boot. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

My next step would be a CMOS reset. Maybe this helps.

If it still won't work, i'd try to reseat the CPU before sending anything back.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Once I had this issue when the RAM sticks weren't completely the same. I had two Kingston RAM sticks which I bought separately. Later on I found out that one had Samsung memory chips and the other SK Hynix ones. Did you buy them as a kit or separately?

I bought them as a kit not separately.

Have you tried flashing your BIOS to the newest version or are you already using it?
