I just got a (2x8) gig kit of Vulcan Z ram at 3200mhz to upgrade from my previous (1x8) gig 2666mhz stick and installed it fine, but it only read at 2400 MHz, so I tried to use ryzen master to overclock it to 3200 mhz, but when I went to apply and restart I got a blue screen, then turned the pc off and back on to a black screen. Can I fix this???

try through bios instead by enabling xmp/docp.

You will need to clear the CMOS of your motherboard. Many modern boards have a clear CMOS on the rear IO. If not, you may have a button located on your motherboard physically. Finally if no rear IO or onboard internal, there will be 2 pins you will need to bridge with a screw driver to reset the BIOS. Alternatively, you could remove the CMOS watch battery from the motherboard as well when the system is powered off and unplugged to clear it.

Go into your BIOS and enable XMP or DOCP as its sometimes called on Ryzen Systems.
