Hi

 

I have just upgraded from an Athlon 3000g to a Ryzen 5 2600x, and half of my ram is "hardware reserved" according to task manager. I have tried every recommendation I can find (including updating the bios) and no change. I just tried reinstalling windows and have even tried Linux, but all the same. 

I'm considering buying a better motherboard, but I don't know what to do.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

My specifications:

  AMD Ryzen 5 2600x

  Asrock A320m hd-v r4

  1050 ti

  Ram: 2x 4gb 2666 crucial OR 2x.              G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB 3200

Take the sticks out, clear CMOS, put the sticks back and try boot it up.

 

Otherwise you'll have to remove the CPU or let it sit after clearing CMOS without power for a while (say 10 mins) for the AGESA firmware to reset itself.

I've tried clearing the cmos and it didn't work. But I'll try the waiting.
