Asus Maximus Viii Impact - Q-CODE 55

[Quhmuh]

Hey guys,

 

first: my english is not the very best, its not my native language.

 

I buy last week a New Mainboard, the asus maximus viii impact and the Intel 6700K.

I choose the 2x8GB DDR4 3200Mhz RAM from Corsair. The Corsair Vengeance LPX.

 

I got the Q-Code 55 when i use both RAM or when i stick 1 RAM into the B1-Slot.

Both RAM work in A1-Slot.

 

I tried it with CPU-Cooler, without.. etc. I tried some CPU Voltage things in the BIOS to.

I dont want to send the Mainboard back cause I rly need to work this week with my PC.

 

Is there something else i can do in the Bios? I tried some other RAM-Sticks too, the same Problem..

 

Is my Mainboard broken?

Are you running your memory in XMP profile?
 

If so, it could cause issues, try disabling it. 

• Reseat the RAM
• Try one stick of RAM and add more until the error comes back
• Reseat the CPU cooler (at least three times)
• Reseat the CPU (at least three times)
• Upgrade the BIOS

I don't know what else could be causing the problem

 

You may have to RMA the motherboard or

Hey, XMP is disabled by default, i activated it. 1 Stick works fine, i got only 2 slots. I tried difference versions of BIOS. 

[ProKoN]

start with one stick. boot and go into bios

 

manually set voltage,  frequency and timings

 

i would try 1.35-1.4V to start with

 

after a successful restart turn off the machine and install the second stick and see if she boots

 

55 is a memory error. could also be due to bent socket pins that control the integrated memory controller. the system may not want to boot dual channel

 

if you cant get if sorted, inspect the cpu socket for damaged or bent pins

Q-Code 55 means "memory not installed".

 

Have you tried using each of the sticks on its own?

 

So

Stick 1 in Slot A1

Stick 1 in Slot B1

Stick 2 in Slot A1

Stick 2 in Slot B1

 

Do each of these scenarios work?
