Hi,

Remove AMD DRIVER with "DDU" and block windows update amd driver

install 20.4.2-2 -- https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-20-4-2

try it !

I only have 4gb ram on this rig. Do you think that's the problem?

Man, the problem is not in the amount of computer RAM.
Have you heard about OpenCL problems when a file larger than 4 GB is loaded into the video card memory?
Update the drivers from the AMD website and enable the compute mode.
If I'm not mistaken, the OpenCL issue was resolved in July 2020, and you can use any drivers newer than that date.
