Crosshair VII hero wifi

[AHITMAN]

Hi guys good day. Im having a bit of trouble making my pc post. I just finished the build specs will be below. Everything is hooked up correctly as far as video tutorials go, when click the power button it boots but nothing shows on monitor and after a couple second, like 30secs, it shuts down by itself but before that freezes at qcode 55 for like 5secs then briefly shows an 8 for like a milisecond (not 08 just then shuts down. I have looked at code 55 and it says "memory not installed" but I've tried different dimms, used one stick, use both sticks switch it around all sorts but still nothing. Any help is appreciated thanks.

 

Mobo: Crosshair VII hero wifi

Cpu: Ryzen 7 2700x

Memory kit: 2x8gb corsair vengeance 3000mhz ver. 5.36

Cooler: AIO masterliquid ML240R RGB

PSU: Evga supernova 850 p2

Case: Bequiet dark base pro 900 rev. 2

 

Edit: when memory is completely removed from system it stays on and qcode "AA" is shown. So now I thinks its possibly a memory problem not sure as i dont have anymore to test and ddr4 memory is very scarce where I live, so what to do?

Use the memory slots the manual instructs to use.

As @nick name has said, you should check if your ram is inserted in the Right slots.

Manual says 2nd from left and last slot for dual channel but use last slot for single...I have done that as well in the beginning but still same error, sorry for not including this info in the beginning. I have also read posts but its from 2017 that some of these boards has faulty dimm slots too. Im hoping thats not the case with this as this board is very expensive and where I live dont sell these highend boards muchless mdium end, only very low end. So I have order everything which is expensive for me especially the cost of S&H and duty.

3000CL15

Change the first timing from 15 to 16.  Leave everything else alone.  

 

Or if you want to leave it and keep trying it on 15 is you can try disabling Gear Down Mode.  It's toward the bottom of the page with the timings.

And I was literally just about to comment and tell you to make sure something was plugged into the CPU fan header (doesn't have to be specifically the CPU fan).. 

 

Glad you figured it out! Enjoy your PC!

Well for starters the front i/o USB3.1 Gen 2 was killing power to the whole system when plugged in, dont know why but maybe its damaged. Secondly the bios was one of the problem, had to update it then it actually stays on with memory inserted, as before it would just shut off after a couple seconds. Thirdly had a faulty HDMI wire so had to switch to my Display Port then I managed to actually boot and post to monitor.
