First Comptuer

[drinkable_Pie]

My motherboard is a gigabyte gaming 7 z170 and when I power the computer on the MOMO gives me a c1 error code... And about 5 seconds after shuts off entirely. I currently do not know what the problem is because Ive tried sending it back a few times only to get the same error code again and again. Ive switched cases, switched powersupplies and triple checked all plugs to make sure leads are clean. I'm trying to run the board off of a I56600K Skylake; a 1050 graphics card also from gigabyte, a 2133 Megahert 8 gig stick, and my power supply is a cx750. 

 

I'm open to getting a different board if the rig will run better on another one. Ive already tried clearing bios also.

Thats a Ram error code. Have you swapped ram out, reseated it, or change dimms?

Ive tried using a 8 gig 3000 meghz stick as well only to run into this same problem.

And you already RMA the board?

What do you mean by RMA?

RMA is giving the dead one and receiving a new one (I think it is like that,if not sorry, I had never RMA'ED in my life).

I mean contacting the manufacturer and having them check it out and fix it under warranty. RMA (Returned Merchandise Authorization).

This is my third motherboard and all three of them have given me the same c1 error code.   If it is a compatability issue do you know of any other good motherboards under $180.

Its not the motherboard, its the Ram. Try different ram than what you already tried.

Ok then.  Should the motherboard be fine?  And are there any recommendations for ram chips.

I would go with some corsair LPX. Really solid with very low rate of problems.
