GIGBAYTE X99 ULTRA GAMING RAM PROBLEM (SOLVED)

[PainBlame]

I have a gigabyte x99 ultra gaming rev 1.0.

 

G.skills 4x8 32gb 3200mgz 

 

850 watt evga

 

 

It's been bad since I first got it 3 years ago. I've been having ram issues since day 1. Even with the QVL ram, my mobo wont boot with more than 2 ram sticks in it. It fails to even get into bios on it's own without a hard drive or data plugged it. I need to mash delete or it will reboot itself, naturally it used to go to bios. Now I has no idea what to do. I'm almost positive it's either ram or the mobo that's the problem. But at one time it did actually run with all 4 sticks!

 

The ram is fine, the bios detects every stick when its singly installed But it's when pairing the ram that makes the computer not boot. I used the manufacture's model set up and it doesnt work.

 

I requested another RMA for the third time!

 

Most x99 mobos have bad reviews, and most of the reviews are about the ram failing. 

 

When I try to boot something, it will load into the gigabyte logo screen, spin the dotted circle for 5 seconds, then it freezes and the logo turns dimmer... and my keyboard rag shuts off, telling me basically that the computer is entirely frozen and USBs have disconnected. It also does the same thing when I try to load a ESU windows 10 flash drive to install windows on my SSD.

 

I almost dont even want to search for another x99 mobo and spend more money, I feel like I should just buy a different CPU and mobo and try to sell my cpu $(100) as is.

 

Does anyone gave a solution?

 

It gets frozen here..

 

 

 

"UPDATE"

 

I FIGURED IT OUT. I NEEDED TO BOOST THE DDR (RAM) VOLTAGE FOR THIS MOTHERBOARD TO REGISTER THE RAM. THERE WASN'T ENOUGH POWER. I'M RUNNING 1.3VOLTS ON 2600MHZ!

 

ANYTHING LESS AND MY MOTHERBOARD RAM DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO GET TO BIOS!

Try resetting the BIOS settings by unplugging the system, taking out the CMOS battery on your board for about a minute, putting it back in, then plugging the system back.

Doesn't work? RMA or get new motherboard
