Set up a year ago: GIgabyte B550 Aorus Pro AX paired with AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, 8-core processor, EVGA GeForce GTX 1650, plus two G.Skill TridentZ F4-3600 RAM sticks (16GB each, total 32GB). Installed Windows Pro. Initially stable, but soon experienced BSODs and app crashes. Adjusted BIOS to Optimized with XMP 3600 enabled and SVM turned on for Docker. Recently ran Windows Tools Memory Diagnostics which reported memory problems. Removed one stick of RAM (16GB) from a G.Skill 16 unit and tested—PC is now stable. Likely the existing RAM isn’t compatible or the faulty stick was removed by chance. For a stable upgrade, consider 32GB or 64GB of modern RAM. Recommendations include Corsair, Kingston, or Crucial models with good stability ratings.

You seem to be having some trouble. Reach out to G.SKill for an RMA—they handle AMD well and your system is fine. I use G.Skill on all four of my rigs (two Intel, two AMD). No problems at all. Ripjaws works except the latest model, which is running Flare X5. It’s great!
