[SOLVED] Noticed my 3200hz RAM speed was shown as 3333hz in BIOS

Just now, my PC randomly black screened and shut down, an issue I've been having a lot recently. No BSOD, just black screen into what I can only describe as "idle mode". I was able to restart my computer, log in, then got stuck in a restart loop. Managed to get to BIOS, and I noticed that my RAM speed was 3333hz, which is over what my motherboard AND ram could handle. My question is, would that be the likely culprit for my restart looping, or would it be something greater?

SPECS:
Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 AORUS Elite
CPU: Ryzen 5800x
GPU: 1080ti STRIX 11gb
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) C16

The main culprit is the power supply and you didn’t even list what that is

The most important part of any computer is the power supply yet nobody ever considers it and never lists it when they post questions
