FX505DY incompatible with XMP RAM?

csantacruz63
Star II
System: Windows 10 and linux x64
Battery or AC: both
Model: Tuf FX505DY
Frequency of occurrence: wildly unstable, can be every 30 minutes or every 2 days
Reset OS: Have reinstalled both multiple times to no avail
========================
Detailed description:
I bought a stick of 8GB DDR4-2666 RAM in order to upgrade my laptop. Immediately began to show stability issues. The computer hard resets to bios (and does so immediately, neither linux nor windows manage to generate any logs or memory dumps). Tried the new stick alone and the problem persists.
Memtest showed no problems on the stick.
The only difference of the new stick is that it is XMP.
This is not an OS problem but a BIOS one, please look into it. (running latest BIOS version, 315)

Hello csantacruz63,
Thank you for the information.
The spec of this RAM is fine but
Sorry we are not able to guarantee the compatibility and performance.
