Long shot here, I looked up your RAM SKU on the QVL for this board and it's not listed. CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 is, but not CMK16GX4M2B3200C16. The B and Z are what make them different. Maybe that's your problem, maybe it's not, but worth looking into. Ryzen and their supporting boards are quite fussy about RAM and are susceptible to instability issues. Ask me how I know.

Revised, more info

If you've got the LPX 3200 C16, it's known for weird problems with Ryzen. Have a set myself that I decided to just leave running 2400 at stock timings cl15 apparently?

The exact kit I have, which led me to that prediction. It routine shoots raspberries at me if I try to go above 2933 1.37v 16-18-18-36. Spent a whole day in 2020 reinstalling windows to get those settings stable on R2000/3000

What's interesting is, the kit that solved my problem still won't POST at its 3200 rated speed. It's definitely more stable at the timings stated, but it did freeze in sleep last week on a DRAM light. Shut it down and all is fine since then. Not sure yet if that means the board is flaky, but I think I see a different one in my future all the same.

I usually recommend a good crucial kit for Ryzen. Can't really go wrong with a good crucial kit.

Depends on the kit, as you remember my woes were with a Crucial Ballistix kit.

True. Though I have heard that recent BIOS have somewhat fixed these issues.
