[FireofDestruction]

I just upgraded my CPU,motherboard ,ram, and cooler the new parts are a 6800k, 4x4 avexier ram dimms, gigabyte designaire x99 MB and the h100i v2 now upon start up I don't get any post I get 6 beeps and a black screen and I'm using my old drives and my 1080s which I've been using for months now without issue I'm thinking it's the ram but I'm not 100%

Check your motherboard manual for the beep codes and what they mean.

It is a keyboard error from what I could find....

But wouldn't that just display on the screen? Like "Keyboard Initialisation error" 

[FireofDestruction]

That's odd because I'm still using the same keyboard from my last setup

 

[Mr.Meerkat]

Try booting your system with only a single stick of RAM

This is exactly what Gigabyte's website says:

6 short beep：Keyboard error

Single stick turns off then back on, repeatedly until I flip the switch in the back

You have 4  sticks and 8 dimm slots...try every stick in different slots

Try using another keyboard...

I would check to make sure all ram slots are seated properly and also check any PCI cards as well.

[LabRat]

does that motherboard support that cpu right out of the box ( correct BIOS )?

guess I'll edit........... have aps2 to usb adapter to plug the keyboard into the round port?

[FireofDestruction]

You either have:

1. Bad RAM sticks or
2. A Broken motherboard

[FireofDestruction]

All 4 sticks alone managed a post on the left side of the board, but the right side couldn't get shit all 4 sticks are good but the ram slots on the right might be bad or I'm stupid and should have put the ram sticks on the right only if I had 8 sticks

BTW, did you make sure to line up the notch....? Because the DIMM can click, even if it is not properly inserted...

Have you tried turning it off and back on again

Return it and get a refund. Then buy an X99 Taichi and spend $200 on something that truly matters

You can't add RAM while the system is on, so he probably did that
