I have a asus z87-pro motherboard along with 2 sticks of corsair 8GB platinum 1600MHz ram (16GB total), this rig has been up and running for over a year, never had a problem.
I turn it on today and boom wont start, wont even give me the bios, open it up, the board is giving me error code 2A (which is not listed on the manual BTW). quickly deduce it's a ram error, try different variations of swapping memory around, sometimes would give me code 53 (no ram detected) most of the time still giving code A2.
called up ASUS, told me that apparently, my ram is not compatible with my board (never knew this was even possible) and offered to rma. I told them to hold off for the current time being.
note on this, corsair doesn't list the ram as being compatible, but asus does, so again, totally lost on this portion.
I'm currently waiting on a friend to get me a new stick of ram to try out as well as having him test out my ram (although I doubt both sticks would die at the same time), but in the mean time anybody got some helpful advice? anybody at least know why this issue would spring up a year after the system was built?
