Ryzen system Freezes or has Black Screens (almost a year)

[Tralexium]

Hey Linus community, I trusted this place for over 3 years and at this point you're my last chance on saving my pc.

I build this Ryzen computer last August with these specs:  https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/vFymTH

 

Since then my PC started acting up weird, on the last October  a random freeze occurred (couldn't do anything and sound stopped working, I had to manually shutdown from the PSU), then it happened again somewhere in November same thing. I then using a DOCP profile to bump the memory clockspeed to 3200 but it was unstable (would cause blue screens frequently) so I set it back to defaults, right now everything is on auto and my BIOS version (for ROG Strix b-350f) is 3803 which I heard it has issues as well. Bare in mind that Asus made it super hard to downgrade back to an older Bios version so I'm gonna avoid doing that for now.

 

Then then next time that my pc Froze was in February and 3 days ago I had my first black screen, I was working with Paint tool SAI and I see a chrome extension pop up saying that it's not functioning and then slowly everything froze except the mouse until the screen turned black  (My monitor and pc were still working, the lights on the hardware were still working and the fans were still spinning). This is getting out of hand and I'm starting to regret for jumping onto this Ryzen bandwagon but heck I couldn't resist the 6 cores for this kind of price. This issue doesn't happen very often and never happens during gaming but it's starting to get out of hand. (happens around once in 1.5 to 4 weeks)

 

So my theories are that it's most likely a software related problem but I'm not declining that it's a hardware issue either ( PSU/MOBO/RAM ), I haven't tried reinstalling my OS (I highly doubt that it's related to the problem, I haven't had this pc for over a year), neither have I tried using a single Ram dimm at a time. What I did try so far was updating my BIOS and GPU drivers and running Memtest86 (passed 4 rounds without any errors). 

 

Here are some personal questions:

What other drivers should I update apart from GPU and BIOS? 

Is it a wise idea to sent it to a repair store?

 

Please let me know if you need any more specific info from me, I will try my best to keep this question updated!

I believe the F4-3200C16D-16GTZR (https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c16d-16gtzr) are made for intel boards. If you look at the QVL list, it's only intel. It dosen't mean it wont work, but it might be a detail you didn't noticed.

 

I think what you should have is F4-3200C14D-16GTZRX (https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c14d-16gtzrx). They list X370 and B350 support.

 

I use corsair LPX (at 3466 or 3600) without any problems on a 1700X.

 

Hope this helps

My bad, I actually did get the F4-3200C14D-16GTZR ram module which is a b-die, I was fully aware of that issue before purchasing RAM, here is proof: 

 

Edit:  So I noticed the name is missing an X at the end, don't tell me that's a completely different module

Edit 2: Did some research and indeed the X in the end means it's specifically made for AMD, I wouldn't mind returning this ram and changing for the more compatible one but is it really gonna fix the problem? I'm not using any DOCP profiles like I said in my original post.
