Unstable RAM XMP

Hello guys my new pc just arrived and I wanted to check my stability on my RAM which i think it might be faulty. Whenever i enable XMP profile and run AIDA64 on memory only, it fails after 1-2 seconds. And at stock it keeps going past the minute (I didnt test past a minute or two)
Build: 
R5 1600 @3.7ghz 1.35V (to make sure its stable)
Crucial ballistix elite 3200MHz (http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ble8g4d32beeak) timings rated for xmp 15-16-16-38* I think, or 35* // But it fails aida64 as i said at those settings so it leave at default 2400 on bios

XFX GTS 580 8gb
TX550m 

EDIT: Heres a cpu-z while under stress (with memory on @2400mhz) https://valid.x86.fr/0rh3ez

Yeah honestly being able to reach xmp on ryzen first gen is abnormal. It's not faulty ram it is just the crappy memory controllers on ryzen gen 1 cpus and bad bios and microcode often times. Some of those things like the bios and microcode can be fixed with an update, The memory controllers can not.

Just update the BIOS to the latest one and hope it works. If it still doesnt, lower the frequency a bit like to 3000, 2933, etc.

things you could try: increase soc voltage (dont go over 1.15v), increase dram voltage, then try looser timings and lastly try running at something like 2933

I would try this^^^

Sooo, running XMP 2.0 is not stable yet, and i cant enter manually the values unless i enable xmp. And the problem is that even if enter manually the values they just wont save. How unlucky is that. Even with ryzen master i cant get it to run.

UPATE: I managed to increase the timings at 18 17 17 with dram 1.375 ( ryzen shows 1.2 but whatever i dont know what to trust) and it ran past the 5 seconds mark up to 2:30, ill continue testing but i completely have no idea as far as it goes with ram OC
