AMD Motherboards : New Build: Asrock AB350 pro4 - Freezing in Win10

Hi Folks,

I just built my new computer last night with the following:

MOBO: Asrock AB350 pro4
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V 16GB - F4-3000C15D-16GVKB
CPU: AMD 1600

Aside from doing a clean install of windows 10 home, I'vealso updated the bios to 2.20.

Both before and after the Bios update this new buildrandomly locks up.  Like a frozen screen,no blue screen, no reboot, just stuck. I?�ve not witnessed this happen in acomputer for years... The freeze seems to happen when I?�m downloading ortransferring files more often than not. Additionally, my memory will only clockto 2133, and not the prescribed 3000 with either XMP settings or manualconfiguration.

I installed the memory in the 2^nd and 4^thslot counting away from the CPU.

I understand that the QVL list includes a similar memorymodule, though it?�s not exact.  I just read that D stands for 2 sticks and Q stands for 4.  So would that mean i cannot run at 3000Mhz without 4 sticks of this memory?

QVL Listed: F4-3000C15Q-16GRR
Used: F4-3000C15D-16GVKB

Without getting into the "new platform, issues, etc.." would anyone like to provide some advice as to how I should approach this situation.
