Asrock mobo wont post :'(

So basically my pc was working fine untill I noticed that even though it was noticing all 16gb of ram I was only able to use 8gb. So I thought id resit the ram first to see if there was an issue. I took them all out and put them back in and now my pc is stuck in a reboot loop and is displaying error codes relating to memory. I have cleared cmos and have tested all sticks and all slots. I find it so strange as the pc was ok before that (other than the not reading all the memory) any ideas on things I can try?

System is

Ryzen 1700
Asus rog strix 1070
Asrock taichi x370
Ballistix lt 16gb 2400
Corsair rm750x

The Taichi is one of the better boards out there for X370. Is the memory kit you are using on the QVL list? Seems like its more the memory thats at fault over the Motherboard.

To be honest I'm not 100% sure it is on the list but I find it strange it was working fine before? Would you suggest trying one that is 100% on the list and trying to get my money back for the others?

Did you try booting with one stick only? With Ryzen, I would definitely make sure the ram is on the QVL.  The memory controller can be quite picky and your ram may not be 100% compatible.

I did, yeah. Ok thanks. Reckon bad RAM compat could cause other issues? As I've been having some buzzing noose issues when gpu is under heavy load but ive swapped everything other than the ram and cpu like 3+ times and its still there and it isnt a fan etc.

ryzen is very picky about ram still, and since taichi's probably the best board, and the system was working before, return the ram if u can, try to get something b-die or if you don't wanna look that up, get some gskill ram, higher speed the better, ddr3000+ preferred.

Agreed.  Make sure you aim for Samsung B-die.  I had some G.Skill Flare X ram that worked perfectly at 3200MHz 14-14-14-34 whereas Corsair Vengeance LPX would not boot at 3200MHz.
