It's harsh, and not necessary.

I haven't heard of that technique. I was always led to believe that the motherboard should never ever be powered up with the Clear CMOS jumper in the "Clear" position. Perhaps 20 years ago this caused irreparable damage but it's safe now. I really don't know.]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2018 22:52:43 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7777&PID=45766&title=ab350-pro4-no-post-incompatible-ram#45766 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7777&PID=45761&title=ab350-pro4-no-post-incompatible-ram#45761 Author: Plagueis76

isnt faster to switch jumper ,then turn on pc it will reboot fewtimes, then switch jumper back
or start up pc, than  hit reboot like a madman until recovery gets trigerred which is same as cleared cmos
both takes under minute time

Never mind. The fact that you can admit your mistakes is a good thing and maybe it will help someone else with a similar problem. I'm glad you sorted it out in the end.]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2018 09:15:46 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7777&PID=45730&title=ab350-pro4-no-post-incompatible-ram#45730 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7777&PID=45729&title=ab350-pro4-no-post-incompatible-ram#45729 Author: Plagueis76

And answer to your question yes, it POSTs in dual channel as well. Ram works fine, but not to full potential. Currently at 2133 instead of 3200. Even after flashing bios to 4.63. Will play around some to increase it.]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2018 09:11:52 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7777&PID=45729&title=ab350-pro4-no-post-incompatible-ram#45729 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7777&PID=45728&title=ab350-pro4-no-post-incompatible-ram#45728 Author: Plagueis76

There is a thread on this forum that suggest 4 hours to completely rule out bios corruption. But after further investigation of my problem, quite embarrassed i may add, I'm pretty sure everything was ok from the get go. I was using a dvi cable at home while diagnosing the problem. Turns out the cable is faulty. I took the pc to work and performed the extra CMOS clears and then hooked it up to the dvi monitor at work. That's when I thought I had fixed everything. Brought it back home and no video. Swapped to a HDMI on my tv and it worked. This whole crisis could have been avoided if i did some simple troubleshooting first. Also it doesn't help that the default for the system speaker was off. I figured i would have heard some sort of beep sequence. If this gets stickied as "dummy of the year", i wouldn't be surprised.]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2018 09:09:07 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7777&PID=45728&title=ab350-pro4-no-post-incompatible-ram#45728 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7777&PID=45720&title=ab350-pro4-no-post-incompatible-ram#45720 Author: JohnM

Wow, 4 hours! I'll remember that - it might come in useful in the future. Does it POST in dual channel mode too?]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2018 08:02:54 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7777&PID=45720&title=ab350-pro4-no-post-incompatible-ram#45720 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7777&PID=45680&title=ab350-pro4-no-post-incompatible-ram#45680 Author: Plagueis76

I purchase the new components a few hours ago. Then i decided to do a CMOS clear again. This time, i let it clear for 4 hours. That did the trick. Now I need to cancel my order. Thanks for the help JohnM!]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2018 02:52:27 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7777&PID=45680&title=ab350-pro4-no-post-incompatible-ram#45680
