    Aye, I feel a right heel for my initial colossal mistake with the RAM. It does happen though. I'm actually still lost in the woods there a bit (not been rich enough to mess with manual OC before). There's only a 3200MHz D.O.C.P profile available (not officially supported by R5 2600). Right now it's still JEDEC but I'd like to at least get that to 2993MHz. Ought I just to select "Auto" but force 2993MHz, you reckon?

    Technically my R5 5600x only officially supports 3200MHz but I have it stable at 3600MHz... (actually be curious to know if, over time, that could somehow degrade/damage my CPU on that one, going so much over what it's officially rated to handle; definitely don't want that).
    Your motherboard should have a list of memory overclock speeds supported
    The board says 3200mhz ram which means it will run at that speed no issues then it has a list of oc speeds that your memory can run at 3600 is pretty much the sweet spot for ryzen unless you have the ZEN3 which you have 5600x

    Uh oh... my 5600X/X570-E build is now doing the same thing. Definitely 4 beeps. This time it sounded like the second beep was more pronounced/longer. What in the heck is going on...? This has to be a bug in ASUS BIOS or something, right? What are the odds two builds would be having the same problem?

    I only just got a Samsung G5 27", that is the only thing that's changed on this build (DisplayPort, not HDMI). It's done it twice in a row... (first time had to restart because keyboard wasn't registering strokes, too, if that helps any).

    EDIT: I should add that I was using a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable (same port). So I just don't get it...

    So far, I haven't heard this again on the 2600/B450-F...

    So I have two brand new faulty ASUS motherboards? The RAM on both has had a full *three* passes of PassMark's Memtest86...

    Your ram could be the sole issue ever tried running different kits or even better yet might be a bad ram slot that happened to me on a Z370MB where i could only use two slots it was a bummer but didn't rma it and sent it to my nephew
    At the time my thinking is if i need more ram i can just take two 16GB sticks and be the same thing......that was my mindset at the time

    Anyway all signs point to the ram malfunctioning or the board has a defect better yet ram might be problematic

    Might add did you change the CMOS battery might be weak and causing instability it's weird but that damn battery stops start ups and stability if its weak

    Wait, wait. I saw a DRAM light... it's white. So it's GPU this time. SOB. Sure enough, it stops doing this when I switch back to my old SyncMaster on the old DP to HDMI cable (same port). So... what should I be thinking right now? I get taken for a fool, $400 wasted on a bum 1070?

    Faulty Port have you tried a different input cable or just skip the adapter and use either HDMI or DP it might be your line

    I don't have another full-on DisplayPort cable to test. But I have just switched to another DP port on GPU and the issue persists. It does work, but the white DRAM light remains on, and the 4-beeps sound every restart/boot.

    I can say this doesn't happen on my old GTX 760 SC, same display and DP cable. Damn...

    I did try HDMI (on 1070 and G5) and that didn't work for some reason.

    SOLUTION! NVIDIA Graphics Firmware Update Tool for DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 Displays

    4-beeps gone, so's the white DRAM LED. I have *no idea* why, because this certainly isn't a DP 1.3 or 1.4 but it's worked.

    Still have no idea what the other one's 4-beep without white DRAM light was (never used DP with that one; yet). *Shrug*
