I just built a Workstation PC using the intel i7-5820K LGA2011V3, ASRock X99 Extreme 4 motherboard 32GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4 Quad Channel Ram, a PNY Quadro M4000 Workstation Graphics Card, EVGA 750 G2 power supply, Corsair H100i V2 liquid cooling, LG internal Blu-Ray burner, Samsung V-Nand SSD 950 PRO M.2, AND 2 Samsung SSD 850 EVO DRIVES. I went to install Windows 10 and the mobo drivers and keep getting the following error:

"Operating system could not be loaded kernel is missing or corrupt."
and Error Codes on different reboots: 0xc0000221 0xc0000001, 0xc0000098.

I have built 7 other pcs but have never had this kind of trouble getting a system up and running, this is my first ASRock mobo though.

I am taking parts out and reinstalling them now to test, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Slots 1 should work i would think a bad stick OR you need to tweak the settings a bit if your using over 2133 never been a fan of the ballistix memory. Might bump the voltage up 0.1 or loosen the timmings a bit.

First off, Love the Avatar!!

The system recognized the M.2 drive and I have it installing right now. I took out all but one stick of RAM and restarted the pc and it actually loaded the Windows installer.

Either I have a bad Ram stick or I had them in the wrong slots, I will test it as soon as the Windows 10 Pro 64B finishes installing and post back. I had the RAM in slots A1, B1, C1, D1, that may have been incorrect for only having 4 sticks, maybe one side has to be filled before the other?

Thanks for the quick reply.

It was a bad stick of RAM, I went through them one by one and tried all of the slots just to make sure a slot wasn't bad and it was a Ram stick, now I have to get to the store before they close. I will try OC'ing the RAM and Processor over the next few days. I will buy better RAM later I just spent all my money on everything else, lol.
Thanks.

Actually it turned out to be a bad motherboard, the 6th RAM slot is bad, no matter what I plugged into it the computer would not start, so now I have to go exchange it today.
