I have the strangest problem in all my years of computer building...

In order to boot, I need to short two pins to clear RTC RAM jumper in order for the computer to boot with default settings (auto).

When it works, it works.
However when I try setting the RAM to it’s XMP profile the computer shuts off and the power button no longer works until I pull out the power cord and clear the RAM jumper again. But even then I have to wait 5-10 minutes before the power button works again.

It doesn’t matter if the computer boots at 2133MHz default, if I set that same value into BIOS with the correct timings and voltages, once it’s saved, the computer turns off and the power button stops working and I have to go through the same process over again. It’s funny because the RAM is rated at 3000MHz CL15-16-16-35 at 1.35V.

Could this be a RAM or PSU issue?

Here are my specs:
CPU: AMD TreadRipper 1950X
MOBO: ASUS STRIX X399-E
PSU: EVGA SuperNova 1000P
GPU: MSI GTX 1080 Ti Lightning
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB
M.2: Samsung 960 PRO 512GB
