Seems to fix exactly that issue for a lot of people. I honestly did not understand most of what they disccused on that thread , though I tried to changing the voltages as one person said that worked for him, it did not work on mine.

I had same problem. I changed SOC and both VDDG voltages and it disappeared. Now I don't have any boot loops and my bios settings aren't reset on a boot after a night.

Boot issues
I have noticed that sometimes the problem stems from other settings being left on Auto such as SOC and VDDG Voltages. I Originally suggested at least 1.08-1.1 for soc However I have since found with the correct ram settings in place I can run 1.05 on SOC and 1.03 on VDDG voltages with no loss of performance. Never run your VDDG higher than SOC you will cause loss of performance. The only way to truly test what an ok voltage is to run a cinebench if you run one on auto voltages then another on lower voltages you should see no difference in performance. Also note that the boot order sometimes tends to forget itself. Make sure you have only the drive you want to boot from in the boot order if you have an Boot Partition left over on an old SSD and get rid of it.

Thank you so much

you can try manually setting to 3200 and voltage to 1.35 (not XMP profile) and everything else to auto and if that works ... try a little faster or go down to 3000. Your RAM isn't on the QVL so you are only going to get what you get.

..and I'm assuming you have the RAM in slots A2/B2?

I've had pretty good luck with Ryzen 3000 series and non-QVL RAM (3 setups all running XMP profiles or faster) .. I had to run my RAM slower on same motherboards with last gen CPU's. You could get different RAM or you might have a dud memory controller on your 3600, so try another chip if these are all new parts and can be returned/exchanged.

My other setups:
Asrock B350 Fatal1ty Gaming ITX/AC w/ 2 x 16gb 3000mhz stuff carried over from my older 7700k build and a 3600x. Would only do 2866 with 2700x.

ASRock X470 Master SLI/ac before I upgraded to the x570 Steel Legend ran the 2700x with 4 sticks of 3200mhz RGB stuff at 3000mhz until I upgraded to the 3700x .. then I could run all 4 sticks at 3200mhz. Current rig in sig.

Asus B350 Prime w/ 4 x 3200 RGB stuff and a 3400g. System would crash with 4 sticks and a 2200g no matter what the timings were... and couldn't get 2 sticks to run at 3200mhz, had to run at 3000mhz

it is already running on latest BIOS, I checked Asrock's website.
