Hi all, I’m just building an ITX system for home consisting of a Gigabyte B450 I Aorus Pro Wifi ITX motherboard, a Ryzen 5 3600x processor and 16gb DDR4 ram. I bought the components following a build list from the internet. I think the memory I go isn’t working.

On post it won’t boot and I just get 1 long beep followed by 2 short beeps, which according to Gigabytes website is a memory issue.

The memory I purchased was 2 x 8gb Corsair Vengence CMK16GX4M2B33200C16 from Amazon

Can anyone tell me if this is supposed to be compatible and if not what I should be buying instead please (16gb)

Right, feel like a right idiot now. After a weekend of messing about, I discovered than the single long beep followed by two short beeps was a Video Card error. As the Ryzen 5 3600X doesn't have built in GPU, then it appears the motherboards DisplayPort or HDMI ports do nothing. In affect I needed a GPU fitting (which I was always going to do). Removed my Radeon RX570 from my old PC and dropped it into the new build and voila, all booted up and the new system works perfectly.

to say I felt like a right idiot is an underestimation.

Appreciate all the assistance though.
