ASRock X370 Pro4 boots with no screen

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

   The computer is completly new and installed today. When I tried booting it, it starts with no screen and automatically reboots again and again. Could it be wrong memory sticks? I know it is too fast, but I thought it would be set to 2444mhz. 

Specs are:
Motherboard: ASRock X370 Pro4
CPU: AMD A10 9700E
Ram: AData 16gb 2666mhz
SSD: 500gb Kingston mv2

I am unsure about maximum capacity, it would probably have worked with a Ryzen CPU. I know it should be 2444mhz, but unsure if it is maximum 8gb per stick. The AMD specs dont say anything about capacity other than 2444mhz and 3 channels. Doues that mean I could have installed 3x8gb SR sticks?. The 16gb sticks works on a 2133mhz motherboard with an I5 processor. Or maybe use the 16gb stick with a Ryzen CPU and then add 2x8gb?

	The memory sticks are probably not the reason. According to the specifications here(https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X370%20Pro4/index.asp) it says "Supports AMD Socket AM4 A-Series APUs (Bristol Ridge) and Ryzen". But in the CPU support list, it says that "Bristol Ridge is not supported since BIOS version P7.XX", so my motherboard are probably updated and not supporting Bristol Ridge anymore. Beside from that I have had been insecure about my PSU and RAM as mentioned. Since this is a ATX board, 900+ watt PSU could also be a minimum requirement, since I have tested two ATX boards recently which did not boot. Of course the motherboard could also be broken.

It has almost exactly the same specs in watt/mhz/cores/threads only being Raven Ridge Ryzen CPU.
