What is the exact CPU and the exact RAM? Looking at the [https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B450M-HDV/index.asp#Manual|supported CPU and Memory lists] there are two Ryzen 5 1600 CPUs. One Pinnacle Ridge and one Summit Ridge and there are supported memory lists for both types but you haven’t specified either type of CPU or the RAM, I can’t tell if it is suitable for the motherboard/CPU combination that the setup is or not.
