Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive.

After using the PC for a couple of weeks, i decided to mess around in the BIOS. I found out that the RAM is only clocked at 2133MHz instead of the 3000MHz it should have been clocked at. The profile was set to AUTO and the only other option was to switch it to XMP 2.0. Switching to that profile and rebooting the PC made it not POST. The fans and lights would turn on, there would be 3 short beeps and it would turn off again. This would occur 3-4 times before finally it manages to fully boot up with no problems. Have tried rebooting to see if the problem occurs again and it does so i have switched the RAM settings in the BIOS back to AUTO. I'd like to know what can be done to fix this issue and have the RAM perform at its full potential

EDIT: The BIOS is updated to the latest version
