Hello,
I recently changed my CPU from a Ryzen 1600 to a 3600 and have managed overclocking without major issues before. I'm using an MSI Tomahawk Arctic B350 motherboard and my Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 RAM is stuck at 2166. Even small adjustments in clock speed lead to instability in the memory. Anyone know what might be causing this?
MSI advises updating the AMD chipset driver to 18.10xxxxxxx or the most recent release prior to performing the BIOS update.

I've observed on my board that I need to first turn on XMP and adjust the memory voltage to the higher level needed for the XMP speed it supports. Don't rely solely on XMP for correct voltage settings. Once I restart, I can then configure the clock speed, voltages, and timings I prefer for an overclock.
It's unclear why this approach works, but if I start by manually setting clock speed and timings without using XMP, it often leads to failure or a BIOS reset. Also: make sure you enable Overclocking mode as Advanced, which provides more timing options for stability.
That's a BIOS issue.
Have you updated to the newest BIOS (7A34vHKQ (Beta version)) which states it improves OC Memory Compatibility:
