Hello,
My PC has been running fine for four months until yesterday when I turned it on and got no display. The mobo was showing an error code 55 seconds after booting.
My specs:
Intel i7 6700k
Z170A Gaming M7
2x 8GB Ripjaws V DDR4-3000
MSI GTX 1070
Corsair HX1000W psu
Corsair H100i gtx water cooler
After some research, I tried various things that was suggested to people with the same error. I made sure the RAM is pressed down all the way; I tried running with only 1 stick of RAM and tried each slot; I tried two sticks in various slot configs; no RAM; reset the CMOS; flashed the bios to the latest version; checked the CPU pins to see if any are bent (nope); disconnected the gpu; disconnected water cooler USB to mobo; tried a different gpu...all with the 55 error still coming up.
I then ordered a new Z170A M7 and 2x 8GB HyperX DD4-2133. I thought that this will help me identify if the Ripjaws are faulty or the original mobo. I tried the HyperX RAM in the original mobo and I got a 55 error. I then swapped the mobo out for the new one and I got a 55 for both sets of RAM.
I really don't know what to make of this. Could it be that the HyperX RAM is DOA and I should try a third set? Perhaps both the RAM and new mobo are faulty? (what are the odds). Could the PSU be causing this? It's about 6 years-old so I wouldn't be shocked if it was the culprit. Any ideas as to what I should try next?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
