I just put together a new workstation setup this afternoon and ran into a mind-boggling memory problem. I checked compatibility of all these components before purchasing:
Gigabyte GA-X170 Extreme ECC
Kingston KVR21E15D8/16 ECC (16GB x 4)
Xeon 1275 v5 3.5 GHz
I checked the QVL for the motherboard and it lists the 8GB version of that Kingston RAM, but not the 16GB. Kingston claims it is compatible on their website, and the specs all match up fine (DDR4, 2133MHz, 2Rx8, 64GB memory maximum). The CPU can handle 64GB and two channels at 2133MHz. The exact error that is occurring is error code 55: memory initialization error. I tried many different combinations of DIMMs in and out and in different positions but the only ones I could get to post were two DIMMs in slots 3 and 4 (different channels). All four are functional, as I tested them individually in my troubleshooting.
I found some advice saying to change the memory multiplier to manual at 21.33, which I did. Still couldn't get 4 DIMMs to post. I'm at a loss here. I can survive on 32GB RAM but I got 64 for a reason. Any help would be appreciated. I've done my best to search through all the suggestions on other forums but there is nothing on this board in particular.
Thanks in advance,
Will.
