Ever since I've had my pc, most games I have tried while being on 3600mhz ram speed just end up crashing and giving me an error code. Once I realized that my ram speed was creating this problem, I turned off XMP and ever since then I have been running on 2133mhz. It wasn't until I decided to try 3600mhz again on COD Cold War when I got a blue screen and decided to try to find out how to fix this problem. I bought my ram off of newegg.com and have provided a list of my specs along with the link for the ram below. Please help me fix this problem, I really want to use my PC to its full potential.

My specs are:
Ryzen 7 3800x
RTX 2070 Super
MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max
32gb Corsair Vengeance 3600mhz
Corsair RM850x PSU

Is your ram voltage 1.35V? DDR4 usually defaults to 1.2V. Your ram calls for 1.35v especially if you are running 4 sticks it requires the higher voltage, maybe even 1.4v. I have the B450 TOMAHAWK MAX with G.SKILL, Ripjaws V Series, F4-3200C16D-32GVR memory and XMP didn't work, I had to set it manually in the Bios to 3200 and has been running great like that for 6 months.

Your 3800x officially supports 3200MHz so 3600MHz and 32gb (4x8) is quite a strain on the IMC which ultimately determines if you can achieve it's rated frequency.

There is no guarantee you can achieve the rated frequency with OC RAM and usually requires manual Bios input for timings and voltage.

Also: I could not find your RAM kit listed on the MB QVL so they have not been tested.

If you wish to stick with what you have then use the Dram calculator for a better chance of attaining 3600MHz with stable Timings and voltage or return what you have for a kit (2x16) at3200MHz and listed on the MB QVL.
