Ok i can't get my pc into the bios barely. this board https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350M-GAMING-PRO.html#productFeature-section this memory https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104570 it just wont boot but once in a while.
How many sticks of that memory?
Picking a RAM speed lower than 2666 is worth a try to see if that helps.
Then if it begins to at least boot stably, check if the motherboard has the latest BIOS.

i only got 1 and i was thinking i shoulda bought KVR 2133
Thats the prollem lol i am in bios now and i set the memory to 2133 i am afraid to save it lol because then it doesnt post again for like 15 on and offs lol
So i cant flash the bios or at least it has not let me yet.

Do whatever you need to in order to get to your desktop (Windows or Linux?) and then download the latest BIOS from the MSI website. The next time you turn the PC off should be to flash the BIOS. From personal experience I can tell you that updating my MSI BIOS got my RAM much more stable at higher frequencies. If you're not familiar with the procedure to flash your BIOS, MSI has a short document that explains the procedure well enough.
On another note, which Ryzen 5 CPU do you have?

I am looking around about that now lol i think this would have it i think https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233827
I think my Hyper X uses SK Hynix dies
Ever tried setting speed and timings manually to exactly that what the memory is supposed to run at?
Also set the memory voltage higher than the standard 1.2v, 1.35 should help.

I can guarantee you that those sticks aren't B-die. B-die RAM is at least 8 GB per stick. It can be 16 GB per stick, but those sticks are dual rank which is harder on the memory controller which leads to poorer results. Another thing is that B-die has speeds of 3200 with a CAS latency of about 15.
