What's your ram? Tell me the model and the speed.

What's your processor? It should have no problems unless it's ECC, which I don't think it is.

Try using this guide:

If it doesn't work, you're gonna need to do it manually by inputting the profile given with the ram manually into the speed, voltage and CL.

1st gen Ryzen is much more finnicky than newer Ryzen in terms of RAM, and for your specific motherboard anything above 2666Mhz is classed as OC (for 1st gen Ryzen) so Asrock can't guarantee it will run at those RAM speeds. Scroll to "Memory" section, refer Summit Ridge
