The 2700X generally handles 3200MHz well. Its memory controller performs better than earlier generations, and among the five Ryzen 2000 series chips I've tested (long story), none failed to support 3200MHz on a solid board with quality RAM. I've noticed some systems failing to boot at that speed, which is concerning. If it boots with XMP on older Ryzen models, it works reliably, so I usually skip the upgrade. Drivers act as the bridge between hardware and the OS (Windows). Sometimes they get corrupted or install incorrectly, leading to problems. The simplest fix is to reinstall Windows. Stress tests for RAM only confirm faults; if they pass, other factors are more likely at play. In your situation, it's probably just faulty RAM.
Previously, after reinstalling Windows, I faced an antivirus problem that prevented me from playing Steam games. After running sfc/scannow, the issue persisted and became worse. I tried fixing the image, but it still didn’t work consistently. Now, every time I reinstall Windows, I suspect it gets corrupted in some way.
It's certainly starting to sound like a memory issue. I have seen a pattern of folks having issues using Corsair RAM with Ryzens, and I know from experience that Crucial Ballistix are some of the most stable Ryzen-friendly RAM out there. Some might recommend Samsung B-die as well. I haven't seen this before with Patriot, but Ryzens are known to be fussy about RAM. Edited July 2, 2022 by An0maly_76 Revised, more info
These are two 8-pin DDR4-2666 modules in black, red, and white, priced around $87 to $90 each. The 2x8 DR4-3200 models come in the same colors—black, white, and red—at $81, $88, and $85 respectively. It really depends on your needs. These should match the 3200 series you received, which were set to 2666 with DOCP disabled; for safety, consider sticking with the standard 2666.

For a power supply of 750W, this offer seems quite competitive... Corsair RM750 80+Gold is available at around $110, about fifteen percent off. Other options exist, but none match the 80+Gold rating for better efficiency and stability. For reference, my current model RM850x was purchased for $138 four months ago, also on sale. Make sure it suits your case dimensions. Depth (L) matters a lot. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093NL61FB Updated July 2, 2022 by An0maly_76 More details
