My 1 year old rig started malfunctioning after I removed one of the RAM sticks the other day.
Components-
Intel i7 4770k (was over clocked, now at stock clock speed)
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (8GBx2 stock voltage and frequency)
Corsair H100i (Problem area?)
Asus Maximus VI Hero
Asus GTX-780 Ti
Corsair RM 850W
I was just testing the module on another PC and when I installed it, I saw an error Q-code 55. When removing one of the modules, it posts. If i replace the slot closest to the CPU with either stick, it posts. It fails to so otherwise (error 55- no bios, no video). So this is most likely an issue with the slot. Do note that I have a Corsair H100i installed, which I recently repositioned from a vertical position to a horizontal position. There is however, no observable damage on the circuitry. The CPU standoffs were hand tightened and I have taken care to apply equal pressure on all the 4 sides of the baseplate. Do I request an RMA for the motherboard? Will it be covered under warranty? Are there any alternative solutions that you'd advice me to try out before returning this? Thanks a lot!
