   Hello, 
I just picked up a Fatal1ty B450 Gaming K4 with a Ryzen 2600. I can not get the motherboard to post. All it does is continually reset about ever 15-20 seconds. 

I've tried removing every other component except GPU and PSU and checked every process I can think of and i'm out of ideas. Anyone have anything I should be looking at?

Are these motherboards not compatible with ryzen 2600's out of the box? Do they need a bios update? I was under the understanding they would work without having to do the bios update first

	if it resets every 15-20sec, then bios is trying to get your RAM stable it can take even 5 minutes as your is not compatible it has to shuffle between several preconfigured timings and it will do so untill it boots...so let him do his thing... once u manage to boot, it will be much faster (as it will already know what it has to use) if it will take longer than 5 min, try it with only 1 stick in A2 slot if u boot (can take a while), go to bios and set xmp and reduce frequency to 2133, then save it and shutdown and add second stick to b2 (if u have) Edited by kerberos_20 - 23 Sep 2018 at 4:32pm

	I wanted to say that this helped me finally figure out what was wrong. After hours and hours of troubleshooting one ram stick turned out to be bad. The behavior for me was no boot, no beeps and no post, just a black screen and resets over and over. I finally swapped out the ram sticks and did one at a time in A2 and low and behold only one stick will successfully boot, the other resets over and over and never finds a good configuration.
