Not-so-random restarts (rarely hangs) with Ryzen 3200GE / iGPU and dual-channel memory

Hello! My build is
CPU: Ryzen 3 PRO 3200GE

MB: ASRock A320M-HDV R4.0

PSU: Cooler Master MWE (MPE-4501-ACABW)

RAM: dual Patriot Signature Line (PSD48G320081), works on 2933MHz / 1.2 V, single rank, Micron chips

Graphics: Ryzen iGPU, no dGPU, VGA display

Firmware: UEFI BIOS P8.01 (latest), Microcode 810F81/8108109

Since my PC built ~ 2 years ago (problem persists across any BIOS version and multiple driver versions) I'm facing strange issue on both Windows 10 and Linux (5.x - 6.x kernels, amdgpu driver). PC randomly reboots (rarely hangs with black screen, then I hard-reset it anyway). But only when I'm using two RAM modules at the same time (with any single module in any MB slot there is no problem). Also it passes all benchmarks w/o any problem (Furmark, Heaven, AIDA, passmark, also others...). But it looks like it hangs when executing "certain code". There are places in some games (quite often it's main menu, i.e. not necessarily most heavy part of game) where problem occurs very often (could be 100% of cases, so game unplayable because I can't pass main menu :D).

What I tried so far (w/o measurable effect):

1. Changing RAM frequencies

2. All available BIOS versions, many driver versions on both windows and linux

3. Tested both RAM modules in friend's build and it just works in my games, while always reboots in my PC.

4. Various BIOS tweaks, disabling unneeded functionality.

 

Additional info:

1. Sadly, no scary things in dmesg after reboot/hang occurs, no suspicious syslog entries.

2. Problem occurs not only in games, but rarely in browser (firefox on linux).

Interesting fact: all games are working when I'm using dGPU
