I installed 16GB's of Gskill 3000 ram. I had 8Gb 2133 gkill before this. I set the XMP to enabled in the motherboard and it auto set the timings and put the frequency at 3000. When I came back later to boot my PC I turned it on then it shut off quick and then turned back on and stayed on. I manually put the DRAM voltage to the manufacture specified 1.350 and it is still doing it. When I set the memory to default in the bios everything works fine. I have a MSI Tomahawk motherboard and a i5 6600k. The MB list this ram as compatible at that speed. Can someone help me get this working correctly.
New ram, power on then off then on.

So you're saying that the system doesn't boot to windows desktop when you key in DDR4 3000MHz in the BIOS's X.M.P profile? The post reads out like you're able to get into desktop without any hiccups. If the former then you should be able to manually input your ram timings and frequency in BIOS and save changes to have them take effect but this is all assuming that the BIOS on your Tomahawk is up to date.
Can you please pass on your full system's specs (listing them) inclusive of your OS.

I ended up being a compatibility issue that was fixed with the latest bios update. The computer would power on then off then on and work fine. That was the issue. Sometimes it would cycle on and off for 3-4 times before it would stay on. But it's all good now.
