i have absolutely no idea, those are fully compatible parts. i would say check the dust just in case, as it might have gotten some during assembly from the other things in the area.

Corsair memory kits have a really really bad reputation working with amd platforms,especially the older ones.If u can borrow another company's products,like a Kingston one.u can easily distinguish if it's corsair's fault or caused by a bad cpu or motherboard.Hope I did help u mate.

I had simialr issue with my 3400g and 8gigs of ram. the solution was strupid really.

your 3200g need 2 gigs of VRAM. instead of the 3200g having the VRAM chips it uses 2 gigs of your system memory as VRAM. that is why you should have fast ram in dual channel with APUs

Yeap... i think it's possible to change the ram amount for the igpu in bios,  but 2gb sounds about right... i remember i had similar config (2200G) and no issues with these settings.

The bios with Gigabyte b450 S2H is the worst. No settings about th VRAM also too basic bios. like no memory oc, no easy way to tweak voltage of the cpu. rally bad biso overall.

Yeah, that's bad, but regarding the ram only really an issue if you add a gpu since then you won't need the ram being reserved for the igpu anymore... iirc the lowest value I could set was 256mb on b350 msi board, which seemed like a waste but no big deal either.

yeah. 2 gigs is a rip off really. for system with less than 12gigs of memroy atleast. I mean i played CSGO with the 3400g and the Igpu and the system used liek all of the ram so gameplay was not really clean and stable. Some stutters and fps drops here and there
