So i have a a520m plus wifi mobo, ryzen 9 3900x, 3080 ftw3 ultra, 750w PSU with a 2x16 Ripjaws g skill 32gb 3200mhz ram and 2x8 Trident G skill 3200mhz ram. Every time i turn on docp for them to run at 3200 mhz i keep getting automatic repair for my windows and it’s forcing me to restart over and over again or go into bios
any help?
 
Zen 2 likes up to two dual-rank sticks or four single-rank ones. While your 8GB sticks are probably single-rank, the 16GB ones probably aren't. A520m is also an economy chipset so will have daisy-chain rather than T-topology for the RAM slots, making it even more suited for only two sticks.

While you usually can still run 6 or 8 ranks of memory, XMP/Expo or ASUS DOCP goes out the window and you are looking more at maximum DDR4-2666 speeds.

Go into the BIOS with one stick if necessary and adjust things manually for lower speeds, slacker timings, and/or higher voltages. Even if default is 2133 it may be with excessively tight timings such as 14-14-14.
