Asrock AB350 Pro 4 gives 3 beeps and wont boot

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

   My set up is:
AMD Ryzen 1600
Kingston  16GB (2x8GB) Hyper X Fury DDR4 2666MHz, CL16, 1.20V [HX426C16FB2K2/16]
Asrock AB350 Pro 4
Issue is that it wont boot properly. 3 beeps. Fans work (chassis + cpu). Keyboard won't light up. HD light does not react.  After sometime (~30s) it reboots and does the same things again. Monitor never gets a signal. What is the issue? Only thing I can think of is the RAM (but even without it I get 3 beeps). However RAM should be compatible according to the AMD and Kingston. 

What should I do? 

Edit: I have tried swap single RAM sticks, boot with minimal amount of stuff connected and replugging everything.
EDIT 2: SOLVED ! You have to A) not be an idiot and B) push those RAM sticks way harder than you would think. Medium push snaps the locks and sound like it should do the trick, but you really have to force those suckers in there! I have build few PC's since 1998 and this is the first time I have had this issue. Either slots have become tighter or I have become weaker  but I hope this post helps anyone that might have the same issue.

	Thank you so much! I spent hours looking through conversations trying this and that to fix my problem. I stumbled on to yours and thought ?�no way its that simple.?? Yep, it was that simple. The lock clicked in place but I still had not pushed hard enough to get the memory all the way in there. System boots up fine now!
