Is this a fresh build? If so, does it happen to use the old drive from a previous build? If so, did you by any chance not reinstall windows?

If all are true, your drive is most likely partitioned as MBR, with your motherboard not having CSM/Legacy Boot turned on by default

Bandaid fix in that case is to go through BIOS and turn on CSM/Legacy Boot, but you should really go through updating your drive from MBR to GPT (which can be done without wiping it)

If enabling xmp fixed it, there might be an issue with your ram
