I HAVE A NEW BUILD WITH THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS

ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards MAXIMUS VII HERO

Intel Core i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz) (BX80646I74790K)
WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX
Antec Sonata III 500 Quiet Super Mid Tower ATX Case (Black)

The original build I installed Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2x8GB DDR3 2400MHz PC3 19200 Desktop, Red CMY16GX3M2A2400C11R memory, it returned an error code 55 on the mobo, I re installed the memory several times to no avail. So I have replaced the memory with Kingston Technology HyperX Predator 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 2400MHz DDR3 PC3-19200 CL11 DIMM Motherboard Memory XMP T2 Series KHX24C11T2K2/8X memory which is in the compatible vendor list. It also returns a error code 55. Any ideas what is up? I have installed, reinstalled etc to no avail.

i had this problem with my ranger version it turned out i bent my motherboard pins when installing my cpu

you can also try to take out all ram and take 1 ram dim and try all slots with it
if that doesn't work you should check the motherboard pins under your cpu if they are bent you are screwed. you can try to bent them carefully back (did not work for me) or you have to buy a new mobo since bent pins dont cover warranty and to get it fixed it cost more than 130$ dont now the exact amount

So removing the ram, and installing one at a time worked, but I can only get it to boot with ram in A2 & B2, if I put ram in A1 & B1 I get the 55 error code again. It is up and running again

No have 4 sticks for 16 G but I guess that isn't going to happen, maybe I'll replace the mobo later. Shipping & duty is killing me on this build. I might pick up a new mobo when I go to the states.
