I'm current running a 1500X on a Gigabyte AB350 Gaming-3 MB and decided to pop in a 3600 after reading all the rave reviews. The result? PC fails to POST.
Now I updated the BIOS to the latest version which, according to https://www.gigabyte.com/uk/Motherboard/GA-AB350-Gaming-3-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios supports 3rd Gen Ryzen and have everything in BIOS set to Auto, including voltages. I returned the chip to the vendor, who confirmed it was dead, so I received a new replacement. After installing the replacement 3600, I get the same result - no POST. After both upgrade attempts, I reinstalled my 1500X with no issues, so I doubt I'm doing anything physical that would result in two dead 3600s.
Am I just that unlucky or do you think it's likely something I've done/not done?
Edit: Issue solved by removing one RAM stick, POSTing, then placing the second stick in different slots until I could POST with both installed. RAM in question is 2 X 8GB Team Group Dark Pro 3200MHz (C16).
