So I built my new PC 2 weeks ago and my system immediately booted with the 3200MHz A-XMP profile. Everything was fine until yesterday icons in games started to not appear, black screens after a loading screen, and so on. So I put all parts back to stock frequencies and everything was fine, I overclocked the parts again one by one to see which one didn't behave correctly and found out it was the RAM. It starts acting weird at anything above 2133MHz. My RAM is on the QVL of the motherboard and on AMD's list of supported kits.
Especially because it worked for 2 weeks and now suddenly doesn't anymore I find this weird.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Full specs list:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (CPU)
MSI GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G (GPU)
G.Skill Flare X 16GB DDR4 3200 (RAM)
MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon (Mobo)
Samsung 850 Evo 250GB (SSD)
Western Digital Blue 1TB (HDD)

I did try to loosen the timings, but that didn't do anything. The only thing that works is lowering the frequency.
I could RMA them, but I'm not sure if it's the RAM as it did work for 2 full weeks. It could also just be the memory controller on the CPU that's causing the problems but I don't know - if it's even possible - how to test that.
