Everything is brand new except psu.
Specs: -Mobo: Gigabyte Z170X-GAMING 7
-CPU: Intel i7-6700k
-GPU: EVGA GTX 980
-HD: Samsung 1T ssd
-RAM: 4- 4g G. Skill 3866
-PSU: Rosewill 750w
-Fans: 6- 120
-Cooler Master Seidon 240M liquid cpu cooler
-1- Rosewill 250 or something like that(In front of case and dont think it matters for post)

So I get the error 55 from the mobo DB_port which according to the troubleshooting guide is a memory error. I have tried ram in every combo and even removed them with just cpu attached to get same error. (This was suggested by gigabyte tech. support and after they said that it was cpu) So I sent cpu back for replacement and did everything all over again with same error. So I sent mobo back and bought it again(Was sent without a shipping box, just the original mobo box and they didn't even tape it shut...Idiots XD... Box was pretty beat up but didn't seem like mobo was dmg or parts missing). So again I tried the above process again to get same error. Any suggestions would be great as their tech support is no help.
p.s. I didn't by straight from gigabyte but from third-party amazon dealer. (They had a high rating. Wonder if they send all their products that way.) Other forums I have found about this said they were only able to use 2400 ram or something like that.

I was able to access bios with 3(1 does seem to be bad, not sure why that didn't work with other mobo). I have a new problem though. Even though it says my ssd is the boot device I get, "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key." This happens right after gigabyte logo. Again thx for all solutions! :)
 
Are you sure boot priority is correct in BIOS? Unplug others are try again. Otherwise the SSD may be corrupt

Ya I made sure it was primary boot and even tried from the boot selection menu. So I tried the ssd on a different computer and it ran fine. Any other suggestions? I'm also currently download windows 7 onto another hd(SSHD) to test out but might be a few hours as my other pc isn't to fast.
