Hey all, tried looking for a similar topic but couldn't seem to find one. 
first off, the specs of my build:

Ryzen 7 2700X 8C 16T

Asus ROG Strix X470-F gaming MOBO

TridentZ RGB Series - 16GB DDR4 kit - 2x 8GB

-Timings of CL16 (16-18-18-38) at 1.35V.  3000MHz memory speed, PC4-24000

Gigabyte Radeon Rx Vega 56 Gaming OC 8G Graphic Card

CORSAIR RMX Series, RM750x, 750 Watt, 80+ Gold , Fully Modular Power Supply 

Samsung 970 EVO Plus Series - 500GB PCIe NVMe - M.2

Seagate BarraCuda 3TB, 7200 RPM HDD

 

My issue, is that my RAM is advertised at being capable of speeds up to 3000Mhz. but, when i open up task manager, it says my RAM speed is at 1067Mhz. Also, CPU-Z was showing the same speeds for my RAM. I went into the BIOS, and the BIOS showed my memory speed at 1067mhz as well. so, i attempted to bump the speed up to the advertised speed of 3000Mhz, however that is the only thing i did, i did not mess with any other settings, and when attempting to save changes and boot up my PC, it blue screened. I am new to all of this, as I have never overclocked anything in my life. How to I get the RAM speeds i payed for? How do I overclock my RAM correctly? 

 

PS: I attempted to use XMP profile, however i also cannot figure out how to enable XMP on my Asus motherboard. If anyone is willing to help me out, I'd really appreciate it and thank you in advance.
