Trying to understand this bios as it has been a war with it the last two weeks. First my system specs..

Next my issues :
when we first built this PC we could not get into bios with a DP cable on my screen and had to use a HDMI cable this we have never seen whats the deal with this.
When I try to put it on XMP 2 and his yes I get a BSOD sorry forgot to write down the error code in windows will next time If someone needs it but it is a big pain as I lose the DP cable and have to set up HDMI again. As well as I lose my Corsair keyboard and need to hook up a old keyboard.
When I put it on XMP 2 and hit NO I make it to windows so far no BSOD but have not run stress tests yet.
This sec I have it on Bios 0805
If I get a BSOD in windows I seem to lose the DP cable on the screen and have to hook up HDMI again as well as lose my corsair keyboard
This second under boot Device Control I have everything set to UEFI only is this wrong.

I tried to set up bios as much as I could the same as I have it on my Rampage Extreme V MB as it gives me zero issues in XMP and DP cable and keyboard. And on my Rampage Extreme V MB its on a manual OC and stable but the first year I had it it was only on XMP. I have never had XMP give a BSOD until the Maximus XI Extreme. What am I not understanding on this MB with XMP lol.

This second I do feel like I have missed a bios setting or done a wrong bios setting and I am at a loss what to do as this bios is so very different then anything I have ever worked with in some respects. I tried to find basic bios settings for this MB and not finding anything so far so came for help on this site.

My husband looked up my ram and it is to run under xmp 2 but it all is making me a bit crazy and I have never had a build give me so much BS and for the first time ever really starting to hate this ROG MB. This is sad as I always loved the ROG MB until now and I hope this is just bios settings issue on my part.

Things I fully hate on this MB is going back to a HDMI cable for the screen and using old keyboard for every crash or bios update making me a bit nuts why this is and starting to think I should just junk this MB and go to a different MB to match my CPU and ram when I can afford it. But this is so not a cheep move and I do think its a setting I am doing wrong in my bios so I need some help please in making sure my Bios is set up correct as I feel like a FNG in this bios . Thank you for any help I can get.
