  1. Experiencing freeze upon boot up after enabling XMP


    Whenever I enable XMP my computer freezes upon boot up. Prior to this it was only freezing a few minutes after boot up. To counteract this I scoured the web looking for answers in various places with people who have similar enough setups. I downloaded both updated bios as well as Intel ME from Asus support as they are packaged together. Computer booted fine and accepted the bios without issue. Now however whenever I enable XMP it freezes immediately whenever I boot. There's also an auditory bug whenever the freeze occurs. Everything I have is XMP enabled and there should be a smooth transition

    BSOD when XMP Is Enabled

    Then you have a different interpretation...

    Thank you.

    Cute.

    At any rate, I'm not here to compete. I'm just adding what I know. Anyway It does the OP no good for us to argue over semantics.

    I can rule Intel out of the debate, most of what I wrote in the part you quoted is on Intel's site apparently.

    Considering my view on overclocking and from what I read swarfega is looking to overclock, swarfega wrote in post BSOD when XMP Is Enabled that he wanted to overclock, that's my interpretation at least.

    (meanwhile swarfega posted)

    As Sygnus suggested a few times, it's probably better if you went to overclock.net for assistance with the XMP problems. That is if nobody who knows his/her stuff about XMP jumps in.

    Experiencing freeze upon boot up after enabling XMP

    laptop doesnt boot automatically

    This is what happened.

    1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
    2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
    3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
    4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
    5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
    6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

    I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

    Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
