I have been running my PC for days at 3200MHz and it runs fine, no issues but as soon as I put it on 3600MHz I get random BSOD, so based on that it has to be a power issue? maybe the CPU memory controller?
Could be damage due to static, did you follow good ESD working practices when you installed the motherboard and memory? You may have damaged the memory controller in the motherboard/CPU when you first installed the board and only showing up now when it has to work with more memory, or the RAM is damaged when you installed it, maybe try testing it again? Also the damage maybe in the original memory and when the system remaps it all for the new memory, the damaged part of the original memory is now in use where before it was spare memory not used by the OS, so worth testing the original memory.
Not sure why it would be a power issue, the memory is hardly drawing that much power in the grand scheme of things.
If you don't have one already, get a anti-static wrist strap and google best practices for electronics to prevent damage from ESD, at least if nothing else you can rule that out if you follow good practices.
A huge percentage of returned CPU components are found to have been damage by static and were fine when they left the factory. You don't have to feel static sparks, static of just a few tens of volts can damage CPUs and memory, you wouldn't feel a spark until it is in the thousands of volts.
