AB350m Pro4 boot problems

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

   Hi

AB350m Pro4 will not boot. With an A8 9600, it gives the 3 beep error code, with a Ryzen 2200G, it does nothing but constantly power cycle. I have tried 2 different PSU's, 4 different sticks of ram in single and double configuration, discrete gpu in pci-e slot, replacing cmos battery, clearing cmos...nothing has worked.

The 3 beep error code I believe is a sign of memory test failure, but no matter how many times I reseat the DIMMS in any configuration, it keeps coming back the same.

Is this board basically dead?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

	with the A8 9600, have you tried 1 stick in A2 and motherboard out of the case on a static free surface? Making sure that RAM is seated properly, sometimes they can be a bugger to fully 'click' in. If it does boot, take note what BIOS is installed and update accordingly/make sure that you are running a compatible BIOS version for your 2200g.

	Hi, thanks for the suggestions. Yeh, Ive tried a DIMM in every slot, 2 DIMMS in paired slots...then the same with different DIMMS...no joy!And if i push any harder to seat the DIMMS I'm going break something! Even tried cleaning the slots. My first thought was the bios version regards the 2200G, which is why I got the A8 9600...not thinking it would just create a whole load of other problems!! It is a 2nd user board, but was bought as a working component, and flashed to bios 4.70 according to the seller so the 2200G compatability should be ok, but... Unless its REALLY particular about what brand and type of ram is used, I think Im just going to write this one off.
