Games crash when overclocking memory

[magicalninja]

When I enable xmp my games crash after 5 minutes of playing them. I have Corsair vengeance memory and they are supposed to be rated for 3200mhz, but because my games crash when I attempt to overclock it, I’ve had to stick with the default 2133mhz. I have the b450 aorus elite. Help

Maybe you had bad luck and your 2600's memory controller can't handle 3200MHz memory. Ryzen 1st and 2nd gen can be quite picky in this regard. Try to run XMP and lower frequency manually to 3000MHz.

Your solution worked! I tried memtest and had no issues, and I then tried a game of fortnite where it would usually crash and it didn’t. Thank you, you are a saviour.
