I am in the final stages of building two PCs, but upon testing, neither post. When turned on, fans spin, lights flash but no bios screen and motherboard error related to memory. PC 1 - Gives error 53 PC 2 - Gives error 19 What we have tried so far: Removing all compunents except MOBO, CPU and PSU Inserting one RAM stick, tried each slot Clearing CMOS (Button press and Jumper) Updated BIOS (PC1) Any Ideas? See build below:  PC 1  MOBO - Asus X99M WS CPU - Xeon E5-2697 V4 RAM - Kingston 64GB PC4-2133 CL15 288-Pin RDIMM Kit (4x16GB) GPU - Quadro M4000 SSD - Samsung 850 Pro PSU - EVGA Supernova 650W Gold Case - Silverstone TJ08-E PC 2  Mobo - Asrock Fatality X99M Killer CPU - Xeon E5-2697 V4 RAM - Kingston 64GB PC4-2133 CL15 288-Pin RDIMM Kit (4x16GB) GPU - Quadro M4000 SSD - Samsung 850 Pro PSU - EVGA Supernova 650W Gold Case - Silverstone TJ08-E

I would start by removing one stick at a time and trying to boot 

also make sure your ram is seated properly

Do the mobo and cpu both support the ram?

[Wazzow]

@ELSknutson: Tried that on both...

@xDanielxOOssiex: They both support DDR4 Registered ECC at 2133 Mhz

Are the chips new or engineer samples? I heard there can be problems with ES editions as they will only work with a BIOS suitable for it, like especially done for it I mean.

[edit] - had a quick look online and error 53 points towards memory speed problems and compatability... have you had it post at all? or just that it won't post now?

If you've not had it post at all, I would get some non-ecc memory to try in it if you can get hold of some... any mates that can lend you a stick?

@paddy-stone neither have ever been able to post. I'm looking for someone with non-ecc but its nighttime. Maybe tomorrow. Just curious how this brand new ram could all be defective...

Have you checked the ASUS supported RAM list? maybe it's not supported... only thing I can think of right now.

 

I had a look here, but haven't got your RAM product number to check..  https://www.asus.com/us/Commercial-Servers-Workstations/X99M_WS/HelpDesk_QVL/

For the asrock board I had a look, and it appears that this model of kingston are the only 16GB modules supported from Kingston

@paddy-stone I think you might be on to something. Damn, really hoped i could get these sticks to work. Thanks for the help.

No worries, hopefully it's not that... but think it could be a possibility. I would still try the non-ecc ram just to check the system first anyway... and then go from there. At least you know what RAM it will support now and can hopefully find a nice buyer for the RAM you have if you need to... or at worst maybe pay a restocking fee at the company you bought the RAM from?
