I have built myself a computer over Christmas with my company bonus. Since then I have been rather busy so unable to work with it at all. I tried ti prioritize expansion capabilities and work with basics outside of that. As such I bought a Gigabyte G1 Gaming Z170 motherboard and two sticks of 8GB 2800MHz RAM as a start point. I currently can not get the RAM to overclock above the 2133MHz base of DDR4.
I have tried using just one stick and I have tried them in all 4 of the slots individually. All I do is boot into the BIOS activate XMP, save and restart and get a "failed to boot do you want to revert to last or access BIOS" screen.
I saw they recently updated the BIOS so that is what motivated me to find the time to get this up and running.
I know TOM's is having good success with overclocking the motherboard that is why I came here to ask for help.
The links below are a few shots from the BIOS and the specific RAM I bought. If there is any other info needed please let me know.

P.S. I have been checking across the webs for a solution and all I have come across is possibly a faulty board. I wanted to see if there has been another solution I have missed or if I am just dumbing on something.
UPDATE: So I don't know what the XMP was doing wrong, but after realizing where to manually input data I was able to copy the RAMs numbers in manually and it is running fine. Thank you BadActor.
