Why did you buy 4*4GB sticks? I'd start by checking the RAM.

Are you sure everything is seated correctly? Is everything plugged in right? Is your monitor cable broken in some way?

Not with X99

Okay. Leaves less room for upgrading. It's not just very efficient to populate the DIMM slots with low capacity DIMMs, unless OP really needs bandwidth.

Try switching the BIOS. There should be a physical BIOS switcher on your board.

Oh make sure to reboot when using one sick don't just leave it running and remove the dimms because that won't do anything, if it didn't work change sticks and try again until you have gone through all 4 sticks.

Try powering down and rebooting stick by stick, it definatly sounds like you have a faulty Dimm.
