Look 45deg up and right of the CMOS battery. or below and just to the right of the end of PCIE2.

What is printed on it?


Though, maybe not the memory itself, but an old BIOS revision.

Take a look and post back please.

Using my Google Fu I'm seeing that Kit run on Ryzen boards.

There's a small blue sticker that says P1.60. I'm aware the current available download is 2.6, but I don't think I can flash to that without being able to boot to bios.....

Yea. You want to get that updated for the benefits of newer AGESA releases. It might probably fire up once updated w/o swapping/buying new memory.

Try using just one stick, cycled through all the mem slots.

Failing that borrow a friends memory or take it to a shop and have them cycle through any DDR4 they have open.

I tried the single-stick-in-every-slot treatment with each stick the first time around. I don't think anything's going to change. LOL

Unfortunately I don't know a soul with DDR4 and I don't have a car so there's no way to bring the thing anywhere. At this point I think I'm going to return the RAM I bought and pick up something from the QVL.

Here's a list of memory proven on the Taichi.

Spamps,

Those old BIOSes sometimes just take a while to boot.
After putting in just one RAM stick I would unplug all unnecessary stuff. (USB, SATA, etc) Then put only 1 GPU in the 16x slot, only plug in one monitor, then press CMOS clear and boot. Let it run for more than a minute. It might even power cycle a few times memory training. Once you get into BIOS that version I believe has online flash, so then plug the ethernet into the board and update to the latest version. I would sit in the BIOS a minute or two to check if it crashes before the BIOS update. Note that you should not change and save any BIOS settings before the BIOS flash.

Well folks, I'm ready to toss this thing in the trash. I replaced the original RAM I purchased with:

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model CMK16GX4M2B3000C15W

which is on the QVL, and I'm still getting 4b. Wardog's link above has a link to a screenshot of this ram OC'd to 3200 on bios 1.5, almost as a cruel joke. No matter the slot I've tried, how many times I've cleared the CMOS, I can't fix 4b. Absolutely no idea what to do at this point short of RMA.
