Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi)
CPU: Intel i7 8700K
Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz



I recently built my computer on Saturday and I installed windows and used it for most of the night. I shut down the computer for the night and hit the switch on the PSU so the ROG light would turn off and not shine while I am sleeping. I turned the computer back on on Sunday afternoon and i got Q-code 00 then flash 21 then power cycle again. I turned it off then got Q-Code CC then 55. I turned it off again then it fully booted up. I used my computer for the rest of Sunday and turned it off like the previous night. Turned it on this morning to see if the problem went away and i got the same codes in the same order > 00 > 21 turned it off then got CC > 55. I then took one RAM stick out of B2 and tried A2 and it booted. I inserted the stick back into B2 and it came back with CC > 55. I then proceeded to try one stick in each slot A1, A2, B1 and B2. The first stick booted up in all 4 slots. I then put the second stick in starting from B2 and it did not boot up in B2, B1 and A2 but booted up in A1 so I tried it back in A2 and it booted. I then put the second stick into B2 along with the first stick in A2 and it booted up again. I ran a memory test through windows when i got back into windows and it passed. I then proceeded to go into the BIOS and i changed the RAM speed to 3200MHz and the voltage to 1.35 as per the Corsair website said for my ram. I was on the computer after getting it going and after being on for awhile the computer randomly went to a light blue screen with white zig zags. I rebooted the system and got to the windows log in screen the it did it again. Restarted my computer and then got the Q-code 55 again.

Thanks for the responses.

I recommend a CMOS reset by taking out the battery for 3-5 minutes while the PSU is unplugged. While the power cord from the PSU is still unplugged, press the power button down for 30 seconds to power discharge the unit. Then place the CMOS battery back in, plug in the PSU and try again. Check if all the power and sata cables are properly connected and after this plug the power cord again and restart. Also try to power up the motherboard with minimum configuration outside the case: 1 single RAM (on A1, or B1, try swapping), one HDD, take out the CPU carefully and inspect the socket, look for bent/damaged pins, ensure that the CPU is re-inserted correctly, and make sure that the...

Please also test with and without the GPU.
