Hi, I have a Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 motherboard and Corsair Vengeance 2x4 Memory. I am doing the external build and I keeping getting three post beeps, which corresponds to not recognizing memory. The motherboard diagnostic tool also gives me error 53, which is not recognizing memory. I have attempted putting just one stick in all of the channels and cleaning the sockets with air. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
