Full specs would help us to help you, but a good early check is to verify your RAM SKU is on the board's QVL list for the processor you have, especially with Ryzen. RAM instability can be quite a big deal with Ryzen.

Check your Mobo CPU socket. Resit the CPU. As well as your RAM. Make sure to not tighten down your CPU Cooler too much as it can also give these errors. If you suspect RAM you can always test it in another PC if you have one the same DDR version around.

Short the BIOS clear pins on motherboard, usually that will fix most error issues.

I'm told this is a much bigger deal with Ryzen than Intel, but it appears your RAM's SKU of CMK32GX4M2D3600C18 is not on your motherboard's Qualified Vendor List. As such, 100% stability and compatibility cannot be guaranteed. So if everything else checks out, that's a possible culprit. And I've seen some very crazy issues with DIMMs, some even failing after testing fine.

Could always try the 1 stick of RAM trick. Sometimes that helps. The. Update the BIOS.
