AMD Smart Access Memory needs a 500 series board and Zen 2 or later. Your system uses a 5700XT with SAM, an ASRock a320m-ITX board and a non-X Ryzen 7 1700. This suggests the feature is active but might be misconfigured. Disabling the resizable BAR in BIOS resolves the issue automatically.

SAM represents AMD's branding for adjustable BAR, which is now turned off. It seems Asrock activated its compatibility in the BIOS.
