RAM Issues.
Ryzen 5 2600X not OC
B450 Aorus Pro
G.Skill Ripjaws 2x8GB 3.200MHz currently running on 2.133MHz.
EVGA 550W G3
1660Ti Gaming X
I own this setup for about four months.
From the very first day I opened BIOS and turned on the XMP Profile (3.200MHz/CL16), it led to numerous crashes and blue screens while gaming.
When XMP was disabled, the system worked fine, but you understand—I purchased these components for a reason. If I really needed to run at 2.133MHz, I could save money and upgrade to the 2060 GPU instead.
Today I downloaded Thaiphoon, DRAM Calculator and Ryzen Timing Checker.
I attempted to overclock the sticks to 3.200(CL14), then 3.000 and 2.933MHz using the calculator’s settings after correctly setting up the motherboard and module count... All attempts failed.
The system performs adequately at 2.133MHz (15-15-15-15-36) and 1.2V, but anything above that triggers three resets after exiting BIOS, then it automatically reverts to the same setting.
Please help with any suggestions.
Run memtest86, if you encounter errors try fixing one stick at a time to pinpoint the issue. If you fail with all RAM installed (XMP enabled), adjust frequency and timings, and set voltage to 1.35V or 1.4V for DRAM. Test RAMs in different slots, and if necessary, replace them.

Are there any friends who can check the RAM or CPU on a different motherboard?
Configure the XMP profile and attempt to bruteforce your memory for training by bootlooping your PC until it responds. If this fails, modify your Dram Voltage to 1.4v and the training voltage as well to determine if higher voltage supports proper memory training. Once successful, reduce the voltage gradually until you can no longer post.
Sorry for the delayed response, I was in the office. If the stress tests are stable and the components except RAM are functioning properly, attempt to stabilize it by increasing the voltage and training voltage as suggested. @SAINT.LUPIN advised. Try one configuration and observe stability; experiment with different slots. If you can't achieve stability at 3200Mhz frequency, consider replacing the RAM using your warranty, assuming those RAMs are new. Those alternatives are clear, but you've already tested all components.
