AB350 Pro4/Ryzen 5 1600 No Post

Can you please advise which mobo is recommended? Newegg had lots of good reviews on this so I thought it must be good.

Alas, reviews are worth little these days.

Do you insist on mini-ATX/ITX or full-blown ATX form factor?

I already have an old case and old GPU to use. I will not be using two GPU's or I am not a gamer or I would not overclock. Typical computer usage. I was intending to get full ATX motherboard.
 
What are your thoughts? Should I return AB350-Pro4 and get it replaced or get all together a new mobo? I have sent memories back, therefore I will also need a compatible RAM 2x8gig for the new mobo what I choose.
Options:
1) get new RAM and try with my existing mobo first,
2) replace this mobo with same,
3) replace this mobo with different mobo,

what is my best option here?
appreciated all your help.

It can never hurt if you try @Spectre73's suggestion, although I don't expect any miracles at this point.

If you're into tiny mobos, you can try the ASRock AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac. I've seen only 1 or 2 posts about this model here whatsoever. Plus, it heavily feature-packed. Heck, if you get a working one like yours it should also do the work.

If you have cash to burn, ASUS C6H is a very good choice. TBH, X370 Taichi is a decent mobo by itself, if you could deal with that mess ASRock calls UEFI.

You could keep the RAM and see if it works with your new mobo.

As a rule, always shop from decent sellers, even if the prices are tad higher. Boxes with stripped serials (for mail-ins) are to be returned immediately.

Best of luck!

That's pretty much what I was saying.
