First time posting here.
Motherboard: ASROCK BM 450 Pro 4, BIOS 3.10
Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
I have 2x4gb G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4-2800 that I've had in A2/B2 for shy of a year and things have worked great.

I bought the exact same set of ram (2x4gb) to get it up to 16gp. I installed them in A1/B1 and I get the "boot loop". I've tried clearing the CMOS by taking out the battery and then using a screwdriver to short the two pins (I lost the jumper) while I hold down the power.
No Luck.
I havent found another post describing how to get it working with ram in all four slots.

I had a 2200g that would not run stable at any speeds with 4 sticks installed. I upgraded to a 3400g and now I can run the same 4 8gb sticks at 3200mhz without issue.
A limitation of the memory controller on your cpu... kind of luck of the draw.. in my case, bad luck.
You can try updating your bios to 4.10 and that might help to get all 4 sticks running .. maybe not at their rated speeds though.
