[PC] eXtreme Memory Profile (XMP) causes "BF4 has stopped working"

Hello.

Since BF4 appears to be stable these days (atleast for me) I have started overclocking my computer again.

What I've noticed is that when I change the DRAM-frequency by using the standard XMP-profiles BF4 crashes with "BF4 has stopped working" after about 5-10 minutes. I have not gone into further investigation in this matter, but I can tell you that changing back into the default JEDEC stabilizes  BF4 completely for me.

Not a super big deal but I'd like to run my memories at their "rated" speed.

Hopefully this might help someone though.

Perhaps relevant info:

ASUS Maximus VI Gene 1150 mobo using latest bios (1301 as of 2014-01-17)

Kingston DDR3 HyperX Beast (2400 MHz DDR @ XMP [crashes]) ----- (1333 MHz DDR @ Jedec [stable], only tested the default)

Windows 8.1 pro 64-bit

    I have this exact same problem with the exact same RAM, which has been newly installed.  My system had been running BF4 flawlessly and the RAM was the only thing changed.  I am even running Windows 8.1 with the latest BF4 updates and done plenty of gaming without any issue before installing the new RAM, so that can't be it.  I have it running on XMP profile #1, which enables the 2400MHz speed.  My system is very much like the OPs and is fully compatible with 2400MHz XMP RAM.  My system, with the HyperX Beast ran installed, ran benchmarks like Furmark and 3DMark without issue.  Any help from anyone experiencing the same issue and possible fixes will be appreciated.

    Gigabyte GTX 770

    Kingston DDR3 HyperX Beast @ 2400MHz (previously had 16GB Corsair Vengeance running on XMP @ 1600MHz)

    Windows 8.1 64-bit

    I had the same problem like you guys but i fixed it by changing the memory clocks in the bios because CPU_Z reported different clocks for XMP and Memory . It wos like this:

    SPD: 1200mhz 11-14-14-35 2T

    Memory: 1200mhz 11-13-13-35 2T

    Now CPU_Z report same for both 11-14-14-35 -2T and my bf4 works perfectly.

    I hope this will help.
