AsRock B450M ac with 16GB 3200 RAM
Computer kept coming on and switching off with no display.Could not boot into BIOS with function keys.
I did reseat the RAM as well change the slots. Reset CMOS. Took the battery out.
Put the 3 200G back in and no problems except having to set the RAM speed back up to 3200.
Defective CPU ?

AsRock's website did not did not state that the available bios updates would allow the 5 3400G to be supported. Yes I did read them. The box for the MB states that the MB is "3000 ready". I am waiting on a reply from their tech support. Thanks.
