you're asking about whether running your ram at 3000mhz with an xmp profile is safe on your ryanze 3 1200 and asrock b450m rev4.0 ii setup. Your friend suggested going to bios and overclocking, but you're unsure if this is safe or just boosting it to its default speed.

It's secure. The XMP profiles exist for a valid reason, and the motherboard manufacturer included them. You're letting the RAM operate at its designed speed. The overclocking is actually taking place on the memory controller built into the CPU. Ryzen appreciates the performance boost. My 1500X is running smoothly with 3000 RAM using XMP.

it boots i've played a game recently and now at night i encountered a blue screen system service exception. i let it restart, then booted normally but still saw a black screen. the pc remained on at 3000mhz. i am currently using 3000mhz to type this so that what happened got recorded accurately.

it started up via BIOS, then the login displayed my wallpaper. I opened Firefox and then encountered a black screen just to confirm

When you switch back to the CPU's stock 2133, does it operate smoothly? Are there any BIOS updates concerning RAM compatibility? I just checked and found none that stood out.

I have the asrock b450m hdv rev4.0 bios 3.20
Honestly at 3000mhz it runs fine I feel lie the black screen was a gpu issue right? I've run it speeds 2133 both speeds seem to run fine I've set it 3000mhz because I would like the speeds that I paid for you know?

The current bios for that board seem to indicate a 3.70 version, which appears to have resolved the RAM issues found in previous versions compared to the 3.20 model.
