I've just upgraded my PC to an i7 6700k, Asus z170 Pro Gaming motherboard and 16GB DDR4 Crucial Ballistix Sport 2400mhz, and it's pretty much stopped working? I put everything in and it booted into Windows 10 perfectly fine, until I restarted it and now it doesn't even post. The status lights on the board go from CPU_LED to DRAM_LED and then it hangs on to that for a few seconds and starts again, over and over again... I've tried switching the RAM out into different slots and using 1 DIMM, but nothing's working. I even tried taking out the GPU and using the iGPU, and still nothing. What could it be? 

 

Edit: By clearing the RTC RAM, it restarts, gets hung on the DRAM_LED then restarts again and loads up for that one time only. If I go to reset it, it goes back into the same loop... Also, now that I'm in the BIOS, I can see that all of my DIMM's and slots are working as they all show up under DRAM Status..? 

 

Edit 2: It's fixed? Don't know how but overclocking the CPU and RAM through the EZ Tune utility in the bios?

How did you managed to fix it? Mine all it does it's as yours, handup on dram_led and restart and some times handup immediately as it starts(pn cpu_led)

I've took all out, even m2 ssd, video card.

The psu it's new(i thought the psuwas the problem)a brand new corsair vs550,

What can i do to make it boot?

Thank you

P.s:i have exactly the same cpu and ram on this mobo
