Problem with power supply

So I am having an issue with some new ram I have recently bought and am not sure how to fix it. So basically I am unable to use the XMP profile because there is what I think appears to be some voltage issue. On my motherboard where the ram would go it has little text written on it that says "1.2V" and in the BIOS when I try to use the XMP profile it wants to use 1.35V. Whenever I go above the 1.2V the text in the BIOS turns red and if I try to exit and save my settings the PC will turn on, but there will be no post. I have also tried to set the overclocking mode to manual, but this didn't do anything as I still got the same results. Another thing I tried was updating the BIOS, but that didn't seem to help either. Whenever this happens, I have to take out the CMOS battery and then everything is up and running again. I managed to get the speed running at 3200Mhz, but my timings are not ideal so I would really just prefer to use the XMP profile if I can find a way. The ram I am using is XPG Spectrix D41 RGB and the motherboard is ASRock B450M Steel Legend .

This CPU has a 1.35v memory configuration and the red indicator can be disregarded.

1.35 is the typical setting for xmp on DDR4.

Ryzen 5 3600 is a powerful processor option.

Use a lower memory frequency, such as 3000MHz, and ensure DOP remains active

I attempted to apply the 3000Mhz XMP profile, but it also requires 1.35V and isn’t posting. Also, what does DOCP stand for?

Consider even lower frequencies such as 2933. It would be unexpected if it fails to handle 1.35V, even at very low frequencies like 2133MHz. DOCP is AMD's method for XMP, while board makers may not always follow and still label it as XMP.

Yeah, it's called XMP for me and I wonder if it's just the RAM speed. I didn't purchase this RAM to handle anything under 3200Mhz.

It seems the chipset driver and BIOS are updated, but the issue persists. It could be related to RAM or possibly the board doesn't support this memory setup (since Ryzen tends to be selective).
