Your memory is working correctly, it is showing 1600Mhz because it is x2 (double data rate). Are you running them with XMP enabled? What voltage is set for your memory?

With some entry level motherboards. They don't like running faster ram or ram with tight timings. You might be running into one of the two issues. You can test the ram one stick at a time using memtest86 to find out if they are faulty or not.

For the moment though run them slower than their rated speed and see what happens.

Did you just adjust the frequency or did you enable XMP / EXPO? Adjusting only the frequency can certainly cause crashing as the memory would not have the correct voltages and subtimings to be able to run at that frequency.

If did have XMP / EXPO enabled when you got crashing, I recommend backing off the frequency a bit to see if that helps. I'd also recommend running MemTest86 at stock settings (XMP / EXPO off and running default frequency). To do this reset your memory frequency (and any other memory related settings) to default. After you've done that download MemTest86 and run it off a flash drive. Running this program will ensure your Memory isn't defective. If your kit is showing errors even on default settings one of the two sticks is defective.

The memory tab will shows what is actually running.

Also not knowing your system makes troubleshooting a bit harder.

If you're on early Ryzen drop the clocks to like 2800Mhz or thereabouts and try again.

I've had a similar issue with new RAM kits a few times, RAM runs fine for basic desktop activities but you get crashes & blue screen during gaming. I have zero tolerance for playing around with RAM so I returned the kit for a replacement each time. Assuming the CPU & mobo support the speed, looks as if it does, than that would be my advice.

Double data rate so 2 x 1600mhz equals 3200mhz as is shown in your CPUID screenshot, in terms of stability issues, as others have said we need to know specific RAM, CPU, Motherboard etc.

You might want to fill the system specs in detail in your profile settings.
As said by @ir_cow, not knowing your system... giving any advice is moot
