PC sometimes in bootloop until I turn off XMP

Troubleshooting

Hello,

when I turn on XMP in the bios it works fine with 3200MHz for 2 weeks - 1 month or so, then my PC crashes and boots with RAM set to 2133MHz, but only after 5-6 failed boot attempts. After that, I can go to the bios and set it to 3200MHz again and it'll work for a few weeks.

Is that dangerous for my PC? Why does this happen? Should I keep doing that or just set it at 2133MHz?

Thanks a lot!
