Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. Also, this is my first attempt at a 100% DIY build, so I apologize for any noobness.
So far, the system has been rock solid for the last few weeks, but just yesterday and today the system would hang during a boot at the infamous ASUS Q-Code 55, aka "No memory Installed."
A hard reset on either the motherboard reset button or the case front panel reset button reboot the system. This last boot though, the American Megatrends POST screen displays "Overclock Failed!" on the bottom of the screen. The system booted just fine after going through the UEFI screen.
What could be causing this? Is this an indicator of a looming failure of some kind?
I've already checked the connections for the RAM and made sure my CPU cooler is not over tightened.
Thanks!
