New parts available. I have an MSI B650 with AMD Ryzen 5 and a GPU AMD 590. I'm attempting to install 2 x 16GB RAM sticks, but my system only boots with just 1 stick. Any other configurations fail and the machine doesn't start. Interestingly, the motherboard has both an 8-pin and a 4-pin CPU power connector, which I'm using now because my power supply only provides the 8-pin version. The computer still powers on. Someone with knowledge would appreciate your advice! Thank you!
