Not sure what I did that I didn't already do, but it is miraculously working now.

I just recently got my mobo to post, and I got the debug code 43 on my MSI Z170A Gaming M7. In the manual it says early memory Initialization. But what does that mean? It also sometimes says the code 99, which is console output/input devices/console Initialization and load option ROM (VGA, RAID, parallel ports, serial ports........), but again, what does that mean? Please help. I just want this to work. :(

How many sticks are in there? Just try a single stick, try it in each RAM slot. Rinse and repeat if you have more than one stick.

Only other thing I can think of is to try and update the bios.
