Building a new system that?�s just going to be command line Linux. I don?�t need a video card.
BIOS sticker on the motherboard shows 3.90, and the 3200G has been supported since 3.30, so that should be fine. I originally had all four DIMM slots populated. I have tried with just a single stick in A2. Same result: CPU fan spins up and runs for about 30 seconds. No video. Then, it?�s as if there is a reset, CPU fan power stops. About 4 seconds after that, the cycle starts again. I?�m using the HDMI video on the motherboard. The only other peripherals right now are an NVME M2 and a SATA one. I do not have another CPU to try. Memory may be the issue, but Asrock?�s support page for that motherboard has no memory lookup for Picasso, though it does show supported speeds. RAM is A 16G Crucial from a 32G two stick pack: BL2K16G26C16U4B. I?�ll buy a single stick to see if it is RAM, but I?�d sure like to know what official RAM recommendations are for Picasso before I do that b I?�d appreciate any other suggestions.

UPDATE: RAM related. I swapped the single stick in A2 with another and got a POST.
Moved that problematic stick to B2, and it posted. But the other two sticks in and posted again. I think I had reseated that RAM in A2 when I pulled all the others, but I?™m not sure. Perhaps just a bad initial seating. Apologies for B540M instead of B450M and for the way the smart apostrophes did something horrible to the bbcode output. |

Fixed the title for you, thanks for the update. RAM not seating properly has been
something to look out for since RAM slots were invented, I remember spending a week trying to troubleshoot a 386 server with intermittent and very random stability issues, turned out to be one of the 8 SIMMs which wasn't seated properly. Enjoy the new build |
