Hi all.
To make the long story short, had a lot of problems with a new ASUS Z97-Pro Wi-fi ac USB 3.1 MoBo, after 2 weeks of fruitless troubleshooting had no choice but to return it.
Though I am 99.99% certain the motherboard was the problem, I want to reduce any possibility of RAM being a factor.
I am using RAM on the ASUS QVL, however I have read of people having problems with RAM and these boards despite their RAM being on the ASUS QVL.
I would appreciate your help in the way of feedback from ANYONE who has a stable running system using a Z97-Pro Wi-fi ac board and i7-4790K combo to tell me which RAM they are using and if possible the exact ID# for the RAM kit.
Thanks in advance for your help.
UPDATE: 06-11-2015
Just thought I should post an update on the final outcome in case it might help someone.
Got tired of waiting on the non USB 3.1 replacement board, it's still out of stock at Amazon.
So I decided to play the odds and roll the dice, figured the chances of hitting two bad boards in a row was high.
Long story short, got the NEW same type USB 3.1 board and used ALL the SAME stuff (CPU, RAM, etc) as with the previous board and the new board fired up without a hitch on the first shot and EVERYTHING works perfectly, even the two RAM kits are playing well together. Mystery/Problem solved, it was a bad motherboard.
Thanks to all who tried to help and/or contributed.
