Overwatch crashing ever since I increased RAM Speed via XMP

Just because an XMP profile works with one game doesn’t mean it will work correctly with our game, which stresses your hardware differently. We can’t really support overclocking/XMP since it modifies your hardware to run harder than it would stock, but if this were me, I’d remove individual sticks and see if it works with one of the sticks removed. If you remove a stick or two and it suddenly starts working with XMP, you probably found the problem child. If not, you can try different slots and RMA it while it’s still under warranty if possible.

Keep in mind that some motherboards also may not support all RAM speeds. Double check your motherboard supports RAM at the speed your XMP profile goes to, and ensure you have the latest BIOS update.

If any/all of this is Greek to you, you’ll want to have a PC tech do this. Please keep in mind that any work you do may be dangerous for yourself or your PC, so performing these steps on your own will be at your own risk. When it doubt, get help from a local PC tech.
