You noticed a problem with your system after swapping the RAM modules. Initially, two 16GB DDR4 3200MHz units worked perfectly. After replacing them with four 16GB 3600MHz units, you encountered issues at 3600MHz, where the system would only reach 3466MHz and wouldn't boot. The motherboard specs include a 650GQ PSU and E.V.G.A. cooling, but the RAM speed mismatch seems to be the main cause.

I'm checking how to enhance the memory. Are you using XMP or another method MSI recommends? Do you plan to adjust it yourself, or have you already upgraded your BIOS?

The Ryzen 3000 line isn't ideal for using four sets of RAM together. Aiming for around 3466 MHz works well for most users without heavy adjustments.

The BIOS is current, I attempted XMP initially, but it failed. I experimented with various timing settings up to 3600MHz without success, then switched to 3466MHz which provided a stable boot. I assumed the problem stemmed from low-quality RAM.
