Hey guys, I just went out and got a few new pieces for my computer, and after putting it all together, I can't seem to get anything to work.
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Hero
CPU: Intel 6700k
GFX: Asus GTX 980 Ti Poseidon
RAM: G.Skill Tridentz 4x8G 3200Mhz
Storage: Kingston Hyperx Beast 2x240G SSD
PSU: Corsair RM1000x
Cooling: Corsair H115i
So I am editing this first post since I managed to figure out a slew of things throughout the process. Where I am stuck at the moment is my motherboard is giving me code 55, meaning it doesn't recognize any memory installed.
The motherboard runs dual channel, and has 4 slots. The manual recommends using slot 2 if I am going to use just 1 stick. I have tried all 4 sticks of ram together, as well as all 4 sticks of ram one by one in each of the 4 slots.
Stick A Slot 1
Stick A Slot 2
Stick A Slot 3
Stick A Slot 4
Stick B Slot 1
Stick B Slot 2
[...]
Stick D Slot 4
Stick A Slot 1, Stick B Slot 2, Stick C Slot 3, Stick D Slot 4
The motherboard and the ram are all brand new, I checked with the store I purchased from and the Motherboard was never purchased before me, and same thing with the ram. I've tried clearing CMOS. I've tried reseating the cpu and checking the pins, loosening the cooler. I'm running out of ideas. I've stayed grounded and worked on my computer 100% on an isolated workstation with non magnetic tools, and all the precautionary methods to prevent having an issue.
Can anyone figure out why I'm stuck at this stage?
