I built a new computer.
I can't even get into BIOS. Or anything. I built the machine to this spec:
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3GHz (BX80648I75820K) with Arctic Freezer I30 cooler
MOBO: ASRock X99 WS EATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard ( Intel X99 chipset)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 4 (2x8GB) DDR4 2400 (F4-2400C15D-16GRR)
VID: HIS iPower IceQ X² Boost H270QM2G2M Radeon R9 270 (2GB 256-Bit GDDR5)
SSD: Crucial M500 240GB M.2 SATA3 Internal Solid State Drive CT240M500SSD4)
PSU: Enermax ERV1000EWT-G 1000W
And consistently get error code 53 (no usable memory detected). Except if I do some weird things (put one RAM stick in slot #6), I can get code 67 (chipset initialization error). But it's pretty much 53. If I put the ram in the 2 slots the motherboard says to use (for people who only have 2 sticks), I get 53. Every time.
So basically: I built a new computer, and can't use it. Can't get into BIOS (my machine has 2, and I've tried both, and clearing CMOS too). Can't do anything.
Can't tell what's really broken. I don't have another DDR4-capable machine to try the RAM in. I don't have a way to test the RAM.
What do I do? Strip down everything and send it back? It was $1600. I think I'm going to try out new RAM, but it may be the motherboard.
The GSkill people are pretty deadset that 2 sticks of ram can't possibly both have problems.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. This is the totality of my life right now!
