Issue with PC restarting during memory OC in BIOS, yet functioning normally in Ryzen Master.

I recently purchased a new setup including an ASRorck A320M-HDV motherboard, a Ryzen 5 2400G processor, 2x4GB RAM at 2400MHz, and my previous GPU, a GTX 1060 with 6GB of memory. My goal was to boost the memory speed to around 2800MHz. I entered the PC into BIOS, adjusted the XMP profile to 2.0 and configured DRAM Timing to DDR4-2666 for testing purposes. After restarting, the system failed to boot properly, only showing a RAM speed of 2400MHz. I realized my RAM didn’t support overclocking. After installing Ryzen Master, I managed to set the RAM to 2666MHz and successfully achieved an overclock up to 2800MHz. The only issue arose when attempting speeds above 3000MHz, at which point Windows reported corruption and missing hal.dll files. I attempted BIOS overclocking again, but it didn’t succeed. My question remains: why does BIOS overclocking fail while AMD’s Ryzen Master handles it smoothly? Is there a solution to resolve this? My BIOS is also up to date.

did you check voltages and timing between bios and ryzen master at the same overclocked speed? also list the ram's full name, model, and provide a cpu-z spd tab along with its memory. the hall.dll might be missing library files in the os affecting ram.

I don't alter the timings or voltage settings in BIOS or Ryzen Master; I set them to auto, and I believe Ryzen Master handles this automatically too. The hal.dll error appears only when RAM exceeds 3000MHz. For instance, I'm using 2933MHz right now, which is overclocked by Ryzen Master.

they don't share the same timings, so they may operate at the lowest setting. The result from the memory tab shows they won't exceed 2933 due to the RAM chipset limitations, and keeping them at this speed is recommended.

The issue isn't about the value itself, as it functions properly on Ryzen Master. The concern is why OC isn't possible in the BIOS even though it works elsewhere. Some sources mention Ryzens having difficulties with OCing memory above 2933MHz.
