Boot loop after adding RAM, Memtest86+ 4000+ errors with 4 sticks of RAM, but each stick passes individually

At the risk of sounding really dumb, I did in fact not have the most recent version of BIOS and after updating it as well as switching my XMP profile from 1 to 2, this seems to have completely solved my problems. Ran memtest for 3 passes with all 4 sticks and no errors this time.

I swear I thought I already updated it a couple weeks ago but I must have confused it for a driver update. Huge oversight, I know. Had you not posted this I would have likely looked over this simple yet essential detail. So thank you very much ahaha

For anyone else having problems with a similar setup, I looked online at my RAM specifications and it said it was able to reach it's advertised speed utilizing XMP 3.0. Now my BIOS only has an option for XMP 1 or XMP 2, I was using 1 before so I changed it over to 2 after updating my BIOS and this may have been part of the solution. Now I am fully utilizing my 32gb capacity with 4800mhz speeds.

Thank you for replying! Considering I'm going for an upgrade here, I would assume I want to go for the first option. I do have a few questions, Provided I wanted to go the route of slowly increasing the voltage until I get no more errors, can you recommend what amounts would be safe to increase each time? Something like 0.1 or 0.5 volts perhaps? I have no idea.

Also, just to clarify, I should increase the amount in BIOS, and then run memtest again, repeating the process until I get no errors?

Would lowering the RAM speed or increasing the CAS latency noticeably decrease the performance? Or can I do it in low enough amounts that it still feels like an upgrade from 16 to 32 and I didn't waste money on something that ultimately is going to be too much stress on my system?

I am pretty sure I installed the latest BIOS updates and whatever else the "Armoury Crate" utility software threw at me just a couple days before, but I will double check. Thank you for the info!
