Enabling XMP Profile giving me Blue Screen :-(

[Tofu]

Hello, so a family friend's 14 yr old son asked me to help him build his first pc for gaming. I'm very far from being a pro, but I've built 6 gaming PC's in the past 7 months and not experienced this problem before, so I'm sure some of you guys could share some light on why this is happening.



I set up his computer (parts listed below), turned it on and it booted fine. Installed Windows etc etc. Restarted computer so I could enter the Bios, enabled Auto XMP profile for the 3200 mhz RAM, saved and exited. After this, upon reaching the login screen it would blue screen error every time. After 4 attempts, I went back into the Bios, disabled XMP profile, and it works fine again with no blue screen.



I don't understand why this is happening, because I have built a very similar rig literally 3 weeks ago, using same motherboard, same ram, same psu, but a Ryzen 5 3400g instead of 3600 + gpu, and had no problem at all.



All parts are brand new:

Gigabyte B450M DS3H Motherboard with the latest F50 bios update

Ryzen 5 3600 CPU

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb 3200mhz RAM (x2 8gb in dual channel)

EVGA 700W Bronze Certified PSU

Zotac Nvidia GTX 1660 6gb GPU



I have left him with XMP disabled, he would never know the difference as it's his first ever pc, but I told him about this and am not comfortable leaving it un-optimised unlike the other PC's I have build for friends and family recently.



Any help much appreciated!

But if this ram is new and thus untested, it could be at fault as well. I can't see the dimms slot being at fault if those ram actually boot up into an OS ok while xmp is disable and SPD is left on auto. That means it's the bios or ram.

Thanks guys. I will have to arrange a time to go back over to his house and experiment some more
