Hey guys i want to ask your help and a solution to my problem!
I bought some new parts for my pc and i got 1 BIG problem!
the parts are :
cpu i5 4690k
Msi z97 gaming 5
Asus R9 280x
G.SKILL F3-19200CL11D-8GBXLD http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-19200cl11d-8gbxld .

After i finished my build in my case i pressed the Power button and then the problem appeared!!!
not even a single picture at my monitor and some debug errors on my mother board!
the main error code 55 which is translated by the manual as "Early memory Initialization"
i tried to find what was wrong! i figured out that the problem is the memory and not a wrong connection ! i changed my new rams with my old ones nad the computer starts normally! my solution is that my new rams are broken and need to go them back to the shop! whats your opinion!

Pls help.... Thanks.

Try OCing the CPU a bit, as the RAM are high frequency and base clock freq of CPU directly relates to DRAM freq. Its very unlikely the sticks are faulty out of the box. OC the CPU with old sticks, shut it down, put the new sticks in (make sure the clip is holding them firmly in place), then start the system again. If it does post, enable the XMP profile from BIOS, with stated speed and timings.

Thanks for your answer... i will try it... do have any suggestion about how much to OC the cpu? and what is the XMP profile?

Increase the multiplier, leave the voltage, make sure you have an aftermarket cooler, test for stability after each increment in multiplier, take multiplier to 40, then test, then 41, then test. Do it till the time you crash on stress testing, the temps shouldn't exceed 75C-80C on full load. there are tons of guides available on net.
Also, XMP enables the sticks to run at stated 2400MHz speeds, or else they'd run at SPD 1600MHz, its imp to enable that to get the desired performance out of the sticks.

i want to thank you for your help... i tried to OC my cpu at 40 but still no boot with my new memories!
i decide to return them to the shop and trade them with 1600mhz rams to be sure that my pc will work properly coz i am not that much exp with OC so i dont want to have trouble with my cpu...
If you know i would like to answer this... how much can you push the i5 4690k, and what temp is the proper for it to work? i got him at 3.9 and the temp while running a game is at 65-66C...

(btw my new choice for memories are http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel... )

That CPU can easily OC to 4.3-4.5GHz on stock Voltage. 4.7-4.8GHz after playing with voltage. Voltage shouldn't exceed 1.35V and temps 80C (75C is desirable though, 80C is upper for safe temps).
And don't get that RAM, Veng have tall heatspreaders which often obstruct in cooler installtion, Veng LP or Pro or G.Skill Ares/ RJZ/RJX/Tridents or Crucial Ballistix or ADATA are much better.

Best thing to do is try each stick, one at a time, alternating slots to determine exactly where the fault is.

Make sure you seated the ram properly. Generally when you have faulty RAM your computer will inundate you with beeps. Three short beeps if my memory doesn't elude me. If it doesn't do anything (the way you described) it usually means you didn't seat it properly.
