Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 3 MB False Starts help

[gameboy3800]

i recently got a used Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 3 Motherboard for cheap. it works great. but sometimes when booting up, it does a few restarts before posting and booting up as normal. it has the most recent bios and all the hardware is brand new (i7 6700k, 8gb crucial ddr4 2400, Radeon R9 Fury X, and Thermaltake Smart 750w 80+ Bronze psu). i heard that these are called false starts. and other then that the whole computer works without issue. but since i plan on reselling this computer for a quick buck, i'd like to get it solved beforehand. so any info helps.

My board does the same thing, It helped to set the memory to its factory speed. If you have overclocked it, set it to factory speeds and if not try ocing it a little bit or underclocking it if that doesn't work.

i will underclock it to 2133 and see if that helps. i had to do a similar thing happen to a 2800 kit i got in another rig. i turned it to 2666 to keep the cpu overclock stable.

underclocking it did not help.

Ok try running it with only one stick of ram and test each stick individually in that way.
