Quick update, I continued to have issues despite uninstalling Vanguard and ended up taking it to Microcenter. At first they just ran stress tests and said they were unable to replicated a BSOD so told me I should wipe the drive and reinstall windows. Did that and had a BSOD a couple of days later. I brought it back and they switched out my CPU which appeared to fix the issue. However, upon flashing the new microcode BIOS I couldn't remember if XMP was enabled once I got the new CPU. A couple of days after enabling it I experienced another BSOD. Is it possible that the XMP is causing the BSOD and if so, does that mean my RAM is bad or it just can't handle the overclock?

Either or. Try memtestx86 and see if we can confirm: https://www.memtest86.com/memtest86.html

I ran the MemTest with XMP enabled and disabled. I got no errors with it disabled but got 3 with it enabled. I have attached the summary.

Right on the edge. Looks like IMC with those failures. What's your System Agent Voltage and VDDQ at?

@PowerSpec_MikeW

Looks like VDDQ is at 1.100 V and System agent voltage is at .794 V I think. I'm not entirely sure those were the correct things on HWiNFO

Try Zentimings: https://zentimings.com/

That board probably calls is CPU SA in the BIOS. If it's really 0.8V, lets try 1.25V and run the test again.

That looks like it's for AMD CPU's right? This is an intel Cpu. How would I go about changing that, I'm not experience in changing voltages. Thanks.

Edit: In BIOS, looks like CPU SA is set to auto and has a range of .6 to 1.6 V but sits at .794 V when idle and XMP disabled. VDDQ for CPU and DRAM is 1.100V

When XMP is enabled it looks like CPU SA is at 1.192V and VDDQ is 1.200 V

Oops, sorry. Yes, Zentimings is for AMD CPU's. Too much going on right now.

Go 1.25V CPU SA, 1.35V VDDQ. Change this after enabling XMP.

Actually leave VDDQ stock at 1.2V. Sorry, thought that module was 1.35V.

Honestly I don't need the RAM to be able to run in XMP, the stock frequency is fine. I was just concerned the RAM might be defective. If it's most likely an issue of not enough voltage then I don't mind just keeping it as is and running with XMP off.

PowerSpec_MikeW

This is kind of the problem with any overclock. The components do gradually degrade overtime and it's entirely possible for a stable overclock to become unstable. XMP is just an overclock. It's pretty loose to try to prevent this from happening. My kit on my home system did the same thing after about four months. It's AMD, so I just tweaked the VDDP a little bit and it runs fine.
