Error code 55 when i serting second stick of ram

I just recently upgraded my motherboard to a Maximus VIII Hero and got a 6600K. I also got 2x4GB 3200 Trident Z ram. My pc boots fine with one stick of ram but when I try to put the second stick of ram in, my pc doesnt boot and i get the qcode error 55. Whats going on??? I set the xmp profile in bios amd I made sure my cpu cooler isnt too tight. ai have the ram in 2nd and 4th slot.

is the ram on the verified list that works with the motherboard?

skylake is SUPER picky about ram...

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Yes its made for the board, but i got it sorted. One of the sticks was defective. Got a replacement and works now.
