I did try significantly loosening the timings on my 4 x 8GB, 3000Mhz, 16-18-18-38 sticks using BIOS 2004 to no avail. It's specifically the memory frequency setting that is the problem. Setting anything above 2400Mhz when all four DIMM slots are in use causes instability and POST failure on any BIOS after 1802.
Sadly I got impatient and decided to just replace my 4 x 8GB 3000Mhz sticks with a set of 2 x 16GB 3200Mhz sticks. I can now use BIOS 2004 without issue at rated memory speed which just validates my original suspicions about the nature of the instability. If I were to add two more of the same sticks I'm certain the issue would happen again.
Like I said the instability on 1902, 1903 and 2004 was caused by filling all four DIMM slots and trying to use anything higher than 2400Mhz. On BIOS 1802 this problem didn't exist.

I'm not sure if you checked all of the secondary timings for discrepancies but I could definitely see a situation where a bug could cause one of the secondary timings to be waaaay off and cause instability. It's not unprecedented as I remember a situation exactly like that and after engineers found the bug a new BIOS release allowed the memory to work again. I just can't remember if that was something the end users were able to see or not.
Anyway, I'm glad you found some working memory.

this is the case i put all the timings in manually saved it to the old bios saved it as a cmo then restored it on the new bios and i all works.
i finally have resizable bar on my 3080ti strix
strange that just enabling xmp on the new bios will ruin it all
