If the RAM is unstable, disabling XMP may help make it stable, but that's like the nuclear option. Yeah, not sure where you're finding these people, but they have no clue what they're talking about.

I was pretty psyched about having a new PC built (by so called professionals) last December 15, 2021. I'm new at these forums and the last time I built a PC was in 2007.
