Ouch, sounds like you have been having a really rough time with your build. Try the following: Single stick of RAM in slot A2, make sure it is fully seated in the slot, you would be surprised how often this turns out to be the problem. Assemble the board, GPU, RAM and CPU outside the case and test it like this. You can rest the board on it's retail box or other non conductive flat surface. Leave the system powered on for 10mins and see if the training is just being problematic/taking too long. That is about all I can think of to suggest. Good luck and let us know how it goes. -------------

| Hello, did you find a solution or did the repair shop solved the problem? If yes what was it? How to fix it? If no - what did you do next. I have the same problem, thx |

Hi Xemiii, if you have already tried the troubleshooting steps listed in this thread then you can try opening a support ticket with ASRock: https://tw.asrock.com/events/tsd.asp?kind=MB" rel="nofollow - https://tw.asrock.com/events/tsd.asp?kind=MB -------------

It was the RAM. I went into repair shop, they tested their ram in MOBO and it worked perfectly. Patriot Viper Venom 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory is NOT compatible with ASRock B860 Steel Legends WiFi motherboard. |

Thanks for sharing the solution to your issue and noting the RAM kit that isn't compatible. Hopefully it will help anyone else with that RAM in combo with an ASRock B860 board. -------------

RAM compatibility has been a much more common issue since DDR4. It's even worse now with RAM prices being what they are. Going with a whatever kit is available can sometimes bite you. Good luck  -------------

You can try sending them a private message and asking. They should get an email notifying them that they received one. Good luck. -------------
