i5-6600k
Asus Z170-A, 1902 BIOS
RAM 16 GB CMK16GX4M2B3200C16
Gigabyte Windforce 1060 6GB
EVGA 750W 80GQ+
Heatsink is coolermaster evo 212
So far, it's my first rig. I've checked every step on troubleshooting:
- NO bent pins.
- Everything is powered up as it should be.
- Monitor is working.
- HDMI cable is working.
- Both sticks work, tested by booting one stick at a time and BIOS would appear.
I can get to the bios with only one stick in, GPU removed.
If I put the second stick, everything shuts down but the CPU heatsink.
If I put the GPU with one stick, won't get to BIOS.
If I put everything, reboot loop.
I'm not sure about BIOS config, but I can tell you that what ever I tried wasn't the right answer. It would at some point detect my SSD, but that's it. I don't want to pay someone at this point to fix this up.
I know there was something about CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 and Z170 boards, not sure if it's still the case.
I don't have an optical drive on the case, but I have the mobo cd. So if a BIOS update is needed, I'd like to know how to do it.
Thanks all.
Edit: on the corsair website, this model of ram doesn't come up when i look at my mobo
EDIT 2: 2 sticks with no gpu = CPU red light, 1 stick and GPU = reboot
EDIT 3: I flashed the bios to most recent, still reboot loop
