this particular kit seems to have issues if you're trying to run it at advertised speeds with xmp. i had the same issue with my kit (same exact kit.) i have a different motherboard (msi z370 gaming plus) but iirc this is a fairly common thing between many boards/manufacturers. you're gonna have to manually input the timings. i doublechecked and they are 16-18-18-36 and set your dram voltage to 1.35 and it should post. the only other thing i could think that could possibly help is doing some research on which bios version you and if there are more current updates for your board. dont update bios if u dont need to though and if you do, just make sure you do it within the bios. alot of boards nowadays have software u can use to update while in windows which makes me scratch my head a bit (dont do it in windows). but ya if those two options dont work then you might have a faulty stick. if i had to put money on it i'd say you just need to manually put in the timings though. good luck
