Help, RAM problems

[Homeslice]

Ive had my pc for about a year now and noticed I've been running my ram at 2133 instead of the 3200 it can go (Corsair Vengeance) and when I went to bios and changed the memory speed thing (I didn't voltage or anything) the computer would get a blue screen w the ":(" on display and when I put it back to 2133 w one stick it works again. (I can put the second stick in after at 2133 and it works fine) 

 

Specs:

Mobo: gigabyte gaming Rev 1

Cpu: ryzen 1600 (Oc to 3.7ghz)

Ram: 16gb Corsair Vengeance ddr4

Storage: ssd boot drive and hdd storage 

Gpu: MSI gtx 1050ti

Psu: 600w bronze (Corsair I think)

Use XMP profiling instead of changing the mhz speeds yourself.

 

RAM will default to the speed you said. You got to overclock it.

 

Look up how to do this safely so you don't get this problem.

Have you updated the BIOS?

Newer versions are a LOT better in memory overclocking, the very first versions were well, basically garbage.

The solution seems obvious, if it bluescreens on higher settings, put it back to default.

Problem solved.
