Sometimes they work when overclocked, sometimes they don't.
You could try the other slots.
A new BIOS might fix it.
Are you using an XMP profile to set it to 3000MHz?
You could try increasing the voltage to the RAM but check all the specifications first.

See the Memory section of:

I think the Ryzen3 1200 is Summit Ridge (I hate code names).
The charts don't seem to have overclocking.
2133MHz is the lowest.
I would only think you would get that if you had 32GB.

I would try the other slots and make sure it is using an XMP profile.

You should be able to see the voltage in the BIOS, 1.2 is the default.
If it doesn't see XMP, you'll need to set everything manually.
Increase the speed to 3000MHz and the voltage to 1.35 and 15-17-17-35 but XMP is easier.
