First time boot taking forever.

Hey All,

 

I just completed my build and I booted for the first time, but my motherboard is stuck on memory test. How long should memory test take?

MOBO is a Zenith Extreme for AMD Threadripper and 128gb of ram.

 

Cheers

Looks like I was getting an error. RAM code 5. so, took all the RAM out and tried with one stick. Now it goes past the RAM boot and gets stuck on the GPU error code 94, then to load VGA BIOS. So something is wrong. I am going to pull the GPU and see if I can't get this thing working.

Pulled apart the water loop and replaced the GPU riser cable and that seemed to do the trick. Although I think I have a few bad sticks of RAM as well

While installing Windows, I keep getting these "Load VGA BIOS" error warnings. Weird

I can't believe this. It looks like one channel or two channels on the MOBO memory is shot.

Did you try remounting the CPU?  Adjusting the pressure slightly?  As I understand it -- it's a common problem with HEDT CPUs.

No, I didn't try that. I see what I can do.
