Motherboard ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING: DRAM orange alert light and instant shutdown

BadGnollo
Level 8
Hi everyone. The barebone sytem I am building is made up of

AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics
Motherboard ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING
Tridentz DDR4-3200 8GBx2

I also have a hard drive and a bluray-drive, but although I have been able to boot, it keeps shutting down and gives me the alert signal. I got into the bios, to see if I could get any additional info, but none available.

I tested booting with either of the two 8Gig sticks, but it still chrashes eventually. I was able to go halfway through installing window before it tried to reboot and then the orange light came on again.

I was told by Asus that the DRAM I am using is not supported, but I see that some of you are using TRIDENTZ with this motherboard. Does anyone have any suggestion to settings I could try in the bios to see if it stops the system from crashing, before I throw them in the bin (£80).

Unfortunately I bought them months ago so I don't believe ebuyer will allow me to swap them for another pair that is supported.

THank you for your help in advance!
