Cpu or Motherboard? help me troubleshoot

[Lotinsh]

So either motherboard or cpu memory control thingie is broken (no, my ram sticks (2x 8 gb) are not broken i tested one each, works fine with single). Basically my ram sticks work only in slot b1 (A1 B1 A2 B2), did i manage to break my motherboard ram slots in the first day, or is my cpu defective? motherboard asrock ab350m pro4 r2.0, cpu ryzen 3 3200g. At the beginning i had bsod, many times, it became worse, and worse, until my pc wouldn't turn on anymore, when ram taken out of slot a1, and put in slot b1, everything works, dual channel slot b1 and b2 does not work tho, so what's the cause? Im looking forward to buy new cpu or motherboard depending on which one should i replace.

maybe xmp is enabled. try to reset bios to defaults value (if you can get into bios) and try again with slots b1 and b2 2 and 4

Try clearing CMOS while the memory is in slots A2 and B2. These are the correct slots to use.

Well, i did reset bios many times, i tried that many times, xmp was disabled, until someone told me to get more performance with single ram stick to enable xmp, so prob not the problem.

it should be slots 2 and 4 counting from the cpu

A2 and B2 are slots 2 and 4 as per manual

also, what ram kit is it? if it's 3000 or 3200mhz, the xmp profile is unlikely to work on the ab350 and r3 3200. you might get 2933, but most likely 2667.

It did a slow bleeeep, bleeeep, bleeeep, and just turned off and tried to restart, it just does that

My ram is 2666mhz

Edit: with my both ram sticks in, I can't even get in bios, also, I can either select xmp on or auto, which one?

you need to let it restart a few times, it's training memory.

Hmm, gonna try

Edit, idk how it will be, but with both sticks in I kept getting bsod all the time, especially when I ran ram intensive games etc, before this it did turn on like this, but bsod were too much, I couldn't do any work at all

yeah, ram settings are unstable. try to enable xmp and increase SOC voltage to 1.1

Ok, but it's doing the thing you said, how long till it will turn on?

should be no longer than 5 minutes.

Oh ok, ill notify once it turns on

Edit, I can't believe, but I got in bios, now, where is the slot voltage?

if you got into bios, you might want to leave it untouched for now and see if you get bluescreens. it might just works.

if not, there should be a setting somewhere called SOC voltage somewhere in the Tweak menu

I put a image on my last post of what I am seeing, I'm scared that I won't get into bios again lol, but I'm going to try then, let's see, I will notify once it accrues, if it will

should be further up, closer to the top. what do you have above gfx clock?

This

yeah it says SOC Voltage (VID). 4th line from the top. set that to 1.1
