Hi, i'm building this configuration:

Core I7 7700
GA z270XP-SLI
32 gb Kingston Hyperx Memory (4) HX426C15FB/8

If i install the 4 sticks, the system wont boot, and makes 5 long beeps and shoots off.

If i install only 2 sticks, the system boots.

- XMP is at profile 1
- I upgraded the bios to the F3 version

I don't know what more can i do... Can you help?

Just to warn future builders... The Kingston memories HX426C15FB/8 are not compatible with this motherboard GA z270XP-SLI - I was able to change the Kingstons for 2 kits of 8GB GSkill 2800 ram. Runs without problems!

Thanks for your support.

The thing with RAM that is talked too often on this forum is that RAM sticks bought seperately(not in a kit) might not work together.
This is usually said about dual-channel, you've taken it up a level by buying 4 sticks separately, meaning it has even less chance of working together.
Try disabling XMP.

First try, XMP was disabled, five long beeps, then i leave only one stick installed, with this i have access to the bios and turn XMP to profile 1 and istalled all sticks again, five long beeps.

Then i leave 2 and system boots correctly.

I updated the bios, install 4 sticks - 5 long beeps

Right now i'm using only 2 sticks to install windows and check if installs correctly.

I will be tweaking the bios hoping to find a cure.

Getting 4 sticks of memory to work, (even if they are the same make/model/manufacturer) is problematical at best, impossible at worst. Can you return the memory and get a kit with 4 matched sticks? It may cost a little more, but it will have gone through the matching process and has a much better chance of working out of the box.
