Specs.
Mobo: Gigabyte Z270x Gaming 7
i7-7700K 4.2-4.5GHz
32gb DDR4 3000MHz Corsair (2x16gb)Vengeance LPX
Sapphire Radeon RX480 Nitro+ 4gb
Power supply: Corsair HX750i

So I've assembled a new pc but the mobo downclocks the RAM to 2133mhz (stock MHz for the board) but I want to utilize the 3000mhz the rams sticks are born with, however my pc crashes every time I activate Xmp to get the normal amount mhz out of the ram..

BIOS is updated to the latest version and I've got zero clue on how to fix this!?

Already tested the pc with benchmarks and it ran quite well but not at 100% potential due to the lower ram speed...

Remember, while the chipset/board can run >2400MHz speeds, the 7700K itself only 'officially' supports 2133/2400MHz - speeds greater are technically considered an Overclock, and additional voltage is occasionally required.

It may be useful to configure the RAM settings manually (just copy the XMP BIOS settings it generates), allowing an extra 0.05V DRAM voltage.

It's also worth noting the QVL for the board: http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z270X-Gaming-7-rev-10#support-doc
Not a single 32GB kit on there (either 2x16GB or 4x8GB), regardless of speeds. That's not to say you simply cannot get it running, but when it doesn't appear on the QVL, there's no guarantee XMP profiles will just 'work'.
