I get the Q-Code 53 when I try to boot my motherboard, although I have a compatible pair of RAM (G.Skill F4-3200C16D-16GTZ). I have tried resetting the CMOS then updating the BIOS with a USB drive containing nothing, but the "M8HA.CAP" BIOS file on it. Still getting Q-Code 53. I have attempted using only one stick of each RAM. Still getting Q-Code 53. Any ideas on how I could fix this?

Update: Attempted to install BIOS 1601. Didn't insert memory after BIOS update. Still got Q-Code 53.

Yes, I did fix this. The memory wasn't inserted properly. I was afraid to push it down due to previously burning a board, but I didn't have it in place securely. I ended up pushing it down with more pressure and boom, it worked.
