Asus VII Hero - error 55

[Chromastorm69]

My specs:

-one 8gb ram stick (compatible with mb)

-xeon e3-1226 v3

-gtx 960

-corsair cv550

 

Today I decided to turn on my old gaming pc, but it simply doesn't work.

I'm facing weird problems- the cpu led (on mb) almost instantly turns on and after a sec stops, then the ram led starts blinking (LEDs never blink simultaneously)+error code '55' appears on a display and that's all.

I've already put the ram in all slots, changed cpu, psu, gpu but it still doesn't work. There aren't any bent pins or whatsoever in the socket.

I've checked in the user manual of your motherboard and the error code 55 is "Memory not installed". So if you've already tried all the slot, I would try with another module. 

 

the issue is either a bad RAM module or a bad DIMM slot.

I just installed another stick (corsair vengeance 4gb; it is 100% working (I borrowed it from my neighbor), mb supports it), but the problem remains the same

Reset the default BIOS settings and try again you can also check if there's a BIOS update available.
