| will touch ram sticks? disable xmp, restart pc. Shut down. Do what you do, start pc, everything ok? restart, check if need to enable xmp (some rams automatically enalbes) | |
| pc won't start? check ram tracks and clean'em | |
| pc starts but won't recognize all ram? (neither bios nor windows) check cpu-z. It happened once that cpu-z could id the sticks (2x8gb) and apparently the issue was dirt on the ram stick. | |
| by cleaning them windows/bios could regognize. | |
| black screen with apu only? try starting in safe mode (f8), it may be bad driver, not sure the reason or how to fix as of now. Of course, other than using microsoft default display driver | |

| i've heard that some am4 have humidity issues, other says it's the crystal oscillator... well, if for any reason your am4 won't start (like no spin, no lights) at all out of nowhere, don't panic. Wait 30-40min and see if it starts by itself. Some say that applying heat (hair dryer) can help | |
| but be carefaul, apply from a distance, specially from parts that may be sensible to direct heat, as glass, plastics, cables, everything, research videos to see how it's done | |
