Update

After doing bios update I've got a black screen and no boot. I've tried unpowering for 10 mins and also removing the battery for 10 mins to reboot mboard but still nothing.

Does anyone believe the mboard is dead? Do I need to replace it? If so what would be the best to go for?

Do you have the latest BIOS as many revisions have been released on that mobo which may help improve memory stability.

I was looking into that solution but didn't wanna mess with it unless suggested. I've just done it and now having issues with no boot up so I'm troubleshooting that as we speak 🙈

So you did a bios update?

Unfortunately you’re experiencing what many people do experience when they just add ram to their system. Ram is not guaranteed to work with other ram unless it is sold as a kit

 

[geofelt]

Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
A motherboard must manage all the ram using the same specs of voltage, cas and speed.
The internal workings are designed for the capacity of the kit.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards, particularly ryzen, can be very sensitive to this.
This is more difficult when more sticks are involved.
Ram must be matched for proper operation.

You can sometimes compensate for errors by increasing the ram voltage in the motherboard bios.

To test ram,
Run memtest86 or memtest86+
They boot from a usb stick and do not use windows.
You can download them here:

MemTest86 - Official Site of the x86 Memory Testing Tool

MemTest86 is the original self booting memory testing software for x86 and ARM computers. Supporting both BIOS and UEFI, with options to boot from USB.

www.memtest86.com

Memtest86+ | The Open-Source Memory Testing Tool

Memtest86+ is an advanced, free, open-source, stand-alone memory tester for 32- and 64-bit computers (UEFI & BIOS supported)

www.memtest.org

If you can run a full pass with NO errors, your ram should be ok.

Running several more passes will sometimes uncover an issue, but it takes more time.
Probably not worth it unless you really suspect a ram issue.
