A520M /ac do not boot !

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello.
I have a new A520M /ac with a Ryzen 3 3100 with 1x Crucial CT8G4DFS8266.C8FD1 and the system don't boot.
The CT8G4DFS8266.C8FD1 is not listed in the QVL.
CT8G4DFS8266.8FE1 and CT8G4DFS8266.C8FE are listed in the QVL. Do you think that the numbers after the "." can cause incompatibility ?

Thank's for your reply.

	What GPU are you using? You will need one with the Ryzen 3 3100 as it does not have integrated graphics capabilities. The display outputs on the board are for use with APUs only (like the 2200g/2400g, 3200g/2400g etc). AMDs Ryzen APUs all have a "G" on the end to signify graphics capabilities.

	Xaltar... I have tried with a Quadro P600 PCIE 3.0 and a Quadro K4200 PCIE 2.0 ! Those GPUS work with a X570 PRO4. What else can I try ?

	Quadro cards can be problematic, still, if it works on the X570 board I don't see why it wouldn't on the A520 board... I would try some different RAM and see if that might be the issue. Initially I thought you may be trying to use the system without a discrete GPU as you didn't list one but it seems that is not the case. I would try a different RAM module, ideally something you know works in your X570 board and also, if you have a non workstation GPU to try I would do that too. Older Quadro and Firepro etc tend to be problematic with compatibility on newer boards.

	Xaltar... Thank's for your reply ! I tried with different ram from my X570 (16G) but the A520M won't boot. I suspect that the problem is the 3100 from Ebay/China ! Best regards.
