I tried using Intel XMP to adjust my RAM speed (1333 in bios) to its correct speed (2400) but every time I do the computer shuts itself off and it won't boot afterwards. I'll have to clear/jump cmos or the computer won't start at all. And whenever it starts up, it gives me this "A2" error message before the bios screen. I've tried to set it manually too, unfortunately it doesn't work as well. My bios version is also up to date. Everything seems to work fine except for my RAM speed adjusting problems :(

Everything is at default speed, no OC atm.

Here are the images in CPU-Z:

Slot #2 and #4 gives the same exact values.

I was told to set it to 2T instead of 1T. Will it be safe for me to do so?

I'll give it a shot later if all else fails, waiting for more replies/answers before giving it a final go. Hopefully you understand :)

Edit: Changed it to 2T and it did not work as well. I don't know what's wrong with it. It gave me a "9C" error code on boot :(
