Michaelp800 XMP crashes are caused by hardware stability issues.
Motherboard manufacturers spend a large amount of time testing and tuning the memory timings for hundreds of memory sticks on their motherboards. They then create a qualified vendor lists (QVL) of all the memory sticks that have passed their testing. Memory that passes has custom memory timings saved into the motherboard BIOS firmware for each and every memory stick on the QVL list.
Is the part number for your memory on the Gigabyte Z490 AORUS MASTER QVL list? If not, then that might explain why XMP memory overclocking is unstable and crashing.

I'm willing to check if your memory is on the QVL list. Download HWiNFO and post a screenshot of your System Summary. It will show the model number of your memory.
Don't feel bad if this is your first time hearing about the QVL list. I also learned about it the hard way after purchasing memory that wasn't fully compatible with my motherboard. Now I always make sure to purchase memory that's on the motherboard's QVL list for maximum speed and stability.
