I recently got  a Z370 FTW (1.06BIOS) and an i7-8700 (non K). The Corsair RAM (2x16GB) was bought months ahead on a Christmas sale.
Right now RAM is running on AUTO BIOS settings at 2133. Whenever I switch to the XMP-3000 profile, the PC won't boot (error code 4C) or beep anymore. I tried with only one DIMM and no luck.
 
Any ideas what I should try next? Or should I just give up since the DIMMs are not on the QVL list.

Try setting the ram up manually.

Did you find the solution? Now mine does the same - CMK16GX4M1B3000C15. Won't boot if I swhich XMP profile only..
 
But! ... I can run 3200MHz in dual channel mode and computer starts if I set up timings manually: 16-18-18 (instead of 15-17-17).
 
To do this, I need to clear CMOS put 1 stick in slot 1 - boot into UEFI (yes it works!), set up (select) XMP 1st profile 3000MHz and without exiting set up 3200MHz and timings 16-18-18. Then save and reboot. It boots up with POST codes: 22-55- couple of times and then boots to Windows. After it boots to windows it works OK without any issues. Then I need to shut it down and add one more memory stick in slot 3. Then it boots fine and goes through all stress tests including AIDA and Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool with PASS for all check items.
 
If after that I change memory settings to default in UEFI - computer doesn't start with the post code 4C
 
Strange thing is that it works that way only in slots 1 & 3 (instead of 2 & 4). If I put 1 ram stick in slot 2 it doesn't boot (neither if I put 2 of them in slots 2 & 4) with POST codes 16->3E->4C.

WOW! Good work, Dimitri!
I'll try to go through your steps this weekend and see if I can get it working. Do I need to update BIOS to 1.13?

You can try changing your ram settings only, without changing slots.

Looks good!
RAM modules were already in slots 2 and 4. Selected XMP1 which changed voltage to 1.35V, and then switched over to 3200/16/18/36. Booted just fine.
 
Thanks again for your update, Dimitri!

Good to hear that you've got it resolved and working!
 
My problem still exists: slot 2 isn't working.
 
If someone could give me a clue of what it is when I can run 2 RAM modules in dual channel but can do it only in slots 1 & 3, which means that there is no issues with socket pins because CPU sees/uses both channels. Moreover, I can use slot 4 with one module installed and it works.
 
The problem is that slot 2 is unusable. To sum up how it starts and runs:
1 RAM module in slots 1, 3, 4: works at auto settings (e.i. 2133), doesn't work at XMP1 profile of Corsair CMK16GX4M1B3000C15, but is fine and stable if I set manually 3200MHz and 16-18-18 for timings (note: need to adjust after choosing XMP profile, because XMP sets secondary timings also).
1 RAM module in slot 2: DOES NOT work under no conditions and neither above mentioned trick helps.
2 RAM modules in slots 1, 3: DO NOT work at auto settings (e.i. 2133MHz), but DO WORK only after I've set up memory speed and settings manually to 3200MHz and 16-18-18 respectively, for 1 RAM module at first (in any slot, except 2). and after that add second RAM module.
2 RAM modules in slots 2, 4: DO NOT work under no conditions and neither above mentioned trick helps.
 
So, any thoughts are highly appreciated.
 
P.S. The images show:
slot 2: 4C (fails to boot)
slot 4: Ab - in bios picture shown, boots to windows normaly
slot 1 and 440 - CPU temperature, boots to windows normaly

Just for the full picture if anyone needs it. Here is the full list of timings of two modules in dual channel (1+3 DIMM):

Eventually, it works as it should - in slots 2 and 4.
Picture below. Cannot pass stress test, but starts and works. (see other test results in the list).
