Here are my specs:

Asus rog Maximus VIII Impact
Ram: F4-3000C14D-16GTZ
Psu: Corsair AR1200i
Liquid Cooled
CPU: i7 6700k 6th gen

So when I first put together this system. It was running fine for 3 straight days. I had it init a volume of 5x 6TB hdd using a areca hardware raid card. I then setup samba, nfs, and afp on latest ubuntu server. The system was running fine for three days, then I did `sudo reboot -h now` after that it did not want to boot back up.

I can get the system to turn on if no ram is installed, but it will display the q code for `no memory installed` i think its 55.

If I reset the ram, reset cmos, it will boot up for > 3 sec, reboot... try to start... I'll go into bios, then a few n seconds later it will simply turn off.

It can't be a overheating issue because the cpu temp right before shutdown are ~28 degrees celsius.

Its not PSU or ram because I've tested with an EVGA psu and Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR4 and I get the same behavior.

How could I troubleshoot this prob? any ideas?

Yea, just 1 stick. I'm getting a replacement mobo from amazon soon. Should I also get a replacement cpu? Or should I try just the mobo?

Should I be worried about the ram possibly getting damaged?

I've already ordered a new CPU, in the mean time. I will re-test a single ram stick on each socket, and then both sticks and report back some time tomorrow. I'll then I'll disassemble the cpu cooling block and take pictures of everything and report back as well. Thanks for all the help.
