I've got a Ryzen 5 3600, a MSI A520M-A Pro and 2 sticks of this RAM

I've never overclocked PC components before...

EDIT: why is my imgur pic hidden?

Screenshot not hidden, unless that was changed.

I see the kit of ram is 3600, what option does bios give you for XMP profile?

It gives me 3600MHZ

It gives me 3600MHZ

Go into BIOS and enable A-XMP.
Then show screenshots from CPU-Z - memory and spd sections.

Already tried that but my CPU only supports 3200MHZ and I got a BSOD a couple of seconds after logging in (or... did it boot at all?)

Set it again to 3600 using A-XMP then manually change only the speed to 3200.

There is no significant reason for you to OC that if you can get it to run at 3200. Keep in mind that those A chipset motherboards have sub par power delivery as a part of what makes them so inexpensive.

It boots.
If it is stable, is this all I need to configure?

IF you did what I said then yes, but I would run a memory stress test to make sure it's stable.

I selected A XMP profile, set it to 3200, saved the changes and exited.

Should be good I would still run a memory stress test to make sure it's stable.

It BSODed on me...
What's the next step - set it to the next lower XMP-frequency?

Make sure DDR voltage is set to 1.35V.
And decrease DDR frequency to 3000mhz.

Did that - should I run memtest now?

 

[SkyNetRising]

Yeah. Sure.

 

[Fat Bluesman]

Yeah. Sure.

just the default test? Once?
