I have the save questions as Tetras
One thing to try is to update your BIOS. That can improve RAM stability.
If that doesn’t work, manually set your RAM voltage to 1.35v and your SOC voltage to 1.1v.
I've got that processor and experiencing similar when using BIOS XMP profiles, it crashes when playing "Into the Radius 2" in PCVR.
The RAM I've got is Kingston HyperX Fury 32GB DDR4 PC4-28800C183600MHz and the motherboard is an MSI X570 Tomahawk. I've kept it at the lesser speed in the meantime and upgraded my graphics card instead to compensate. I thought it was the RAM perhaps being a bit crap (I usually get Crucial) but now your post is making me wonder if it's related to the processor.

Officially the CPU is only rated to 3200Mhz RAM, so as above you may need to increase the SOC voltage (which affects the Memory Controller)

Using 3/4 sticks will make it harder to hit higher speeds and make the use of one-click DOCP less likely to work, since you may have to tune the DRAM voltage/other voltages.

You can see the version/revision number on the side of Corsair modules. If your third stick is from a different kit then it's likely to have different IC's which would explain why you have issues.
I've been getting some help in another thread and it would seem that the Kingston ram I originally bought is not on the compatibility list for my motherboard. I didn't even know such a thing exists, I just figured that so long as the speeds were supported then all would be good, but seemingly for XMP profiles it's causing issues.
I increased the ram blocks from 3 to 4 but still the ram will only boot at 3200mhz. Now I am going to keep the ram as I will upgrade some time but will a tuf b550 m plus even work with 3600mhz with a 7 5800 ? and even so can I boost the ram manually I have created a log the ther... programme but fail to understand the dram calculator results. Is it difficult is there a step by step guide would you help
My manual overclock to 3600MHz at 1.4V is crashing to a reboot when playing The Division 2. It was fine in Prime95 stress tests at 100% ram usage, but nothing else has changed so it must be the o/c causing the issue. Back to stock and I'll probably look at getting Crucial or something next time instead of Kingston.

By blocks you mean sticks? Use cpuz to verify all the sticks have the same imc. You should set xmp, change the frequency and the voltage to 1.35 and then restart. If it does not, run at 3400 and see if it works. There is a ddr4 ram over lock guide on GitHub. Zen3 should do 3400 easy but check, as said you could have a weak chip. The 5800 will be a lottery again.
Leave dram calculator until you can run the ram at the stated speeds.

The dram voltage is already at 1.35 and it does not start at 3400 even though with xmp on it indicates that it will boot at 3600mhz if that makes a difference. I'll check github but probably have a weak chip. Would a new chip version made in 2025 have a better chance? I thought they were all the same...
5950x, msi b550 motherboard and corsair vengeance lpx 3600 (4x32 sticks) ram.... I literally just pressed the xmp 1 button in the bios with what was the latest bios and it just worked, no adjustments made anywhere specifically for the ram etc. Yes different cpu but same generation with 3200mhz max supported etc.
I have, however, changed things like infinity fabric etc to 1800mhz...
If all the tweaks aren't working and you have the latest bios then the odds are it's just not going to work on your setup.
