Intel 6600k
gigabyte z170x - gaming 3 mobo
4 x hyper x fury 2133mhz ddr4 ram

Just random stop codes after power button is pressed. After initial installation took some time to display a picture and gave a stop code.


Edit: I've tried all four slots theyre working correctly, tried starting without GPU and only mouse and keyboard in

Your ram sticks are not truly identical.
Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
A motherboard must manage all the ram using the same specs of voltage, cas and speed.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards can be very sensitive to this.
This is more difficult when 4 sticks are involved.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.

You might get things to work if you install a single good stick and increase the ram voltage a bit in the bios.
Then install the rest of the sticks.
