Hello.

Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B450m-k.
BIOS version: 2409 date: 02/2020
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3600

I had upgrade memory from 2x8Gb Patriot Viper to 2x16Gb Crucial Ballistix BL16G32C16U4W.
After installing Crucial Ballistix my PC doesn't turn on.
I had tried
  1. installing 1 module Crucial Ballistix from kit
  2. installing 1 module Patriot Viper and 1 Crucial Ballistix
  3. disabling XMP in BIOS
  4. enabling auto tuning memory clocks
  5. updating BIOS microcode
But Crucial doesn't work with PC.

On the official site of crucial this memory are supported by my motherboard.
 
Solution
is the ram on the Asus website for the motherboard?

As they would point you at this listing if you asked about ram working - https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...for_3rd_Gen_AMD_Ryzen_Processors_20200313.pdf

short scan doesn't show they tested 2 x 8gb Crucial sticks on that board.
they tested BLS8G4D32AWSBK which have same times as yours but is only 8gb
BLS16G4D32AESW.M16FE which has same times but is a 16gb stick

Not sure where you stand with crucial

Is that ram what the crucial scanner showed you or did you go direct to the web page?
