OS WONT BOOT with XMP active (HYPERX PREDATOR 2x 8GB 3333MHz)

[Dean72]

Hello guys,

thank you all in advance.

Recently I bought new PC, everything works correctly except my DDR4 memory module (HYPERX PREDATOR 2x 8GB 3333MHz).

Problem is, when I swith to XMP profile in BIOS, system wont boot, or my CPU stays at its default 800Mhz speed and wont moove any higher even when it is under heavy load. I have mother board ROG STRIX Z270G, CPU: Core i7 7700k.

I've already tried to switch jumpers on my MB to get extra voltage for my CPU but it didn't solved my problem. This memory is on the supported vendor list so I don't understand why it causing troubles to run it whit XMP.

I would like to ask you kindly for you advice. Should I wait for new BIOS upgrade (mine is already upgraded to the newest) or switch to another memory module? Or perhaps some manual settings instead of XMP? Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your knownledge.

I've tried with different configurations and frequency but nothing works. One thing works, is to set my BIOS for ASUS performance profile, that way i can set my memories to 2900 Mhz but beyond that doesn't seem to be easy... I'm clearly missing something.

XMP doesn't work, manual confuguraitons like we discussed neiher... the only thing is that ASUS profile. I'm going to do more research and try to figure out what else can be done, although I'm not an expert in this matter...

thank you for your time and sharing on this!
