Try ram sticks 1 at a time, is xmp enabled?

Install HWInfo and check temps make sure nothing's overheating.

Does it reboot if you just sit in the bios is it only in Windows?

Assuming you've tested both RAM sticks:

Reset bios.

Do you have the CPU power connector plugged in? It should be to the left just above the CPU socket.

I'd suggest monitoring your temps, there's a chance it's thermal shutdown. It could be a case of needing to reseat your HSF and plug the fan into the correct (CPU) header.

What's the EXACT model of your PSU?

Also try the following:

1. Make sure your bios is the most up to date.
2. Try setting your cpu multi/ratio to 30 and v-core to 1.3V maximum instead of auto, see if that lets you get into windows at least.
3. If you get into Windows download the most up to date chipset drivers for your motherboad and any other hardware you're running.

Tried the other stick. Tried manual ram settings. The cpu and motherboard connections are firmly connected (2x4 pin connectors) cpu fan is on and working showing aprox 29c to 31c

Was it the same with the other stick? Xmp off it boots ok xmp on it crashes?
