Q-code error 0d - Crosshair VI

[Teramungus]

Hello all,
I received my back-ordered MOBO and put my new computer together but can not get it to POST. I assembled and tried to boot but get Q-code:0d and can not get to BIOS. The MOBO light up RGB and appears to be on; the amber light indicating a problem with DRAM is lit. CPU light is green (ready).

BUILD:
ASUS Crosshair VI
Ryzen 1800X
G.Skill F4-3200C14D-16 (2x8GB)
Samsung 960 Pro.
Asus Strix GTX960 OC 2GB
Corsair CX750M (24-pin and 8-pin; no 4-pin)
Fractal Define R5
Dark Rock Pro 3

I tried the shipped BIOS first: Q-Code: 0d.
I updated to latest BIOS via USB and back button: Q-Code: 0d.
Loosened the back plate to the CPU cooler (removed and re-seated all components): Q-code Od.
Tried to clear the CMOS with button on back: Q-code: Od.
Unplugged the USB 3.0: Q-code: 0d.
Tried all RAM slots and each separately (both RAM bad?): Q-code: 0d (on all combinations).

UPDATE: I went to Best Buy and bought PNY Anarchy 2x8GB 2133 CL15 and tried each of the RAM stick and got the same result as above: Q-code: 0d.
UPDATE 2: Tried both BIOS 0902 and 1002.
Update 3: Purchased PNY Anarchy (2x8) 2133MHz (not QVL) and the result did not change: Q-code: 0d.
UPDATE 4: I removed the original backplate for the new cooler and reused the thermal pad so I disassembled and tried again without the pad and no change: Q-code: 0d.
UPDATE 5: I called ASUS and went through the basic steps above but this time without the video card.... same result: Q-code 0d. They recommended RMA. Returning to Amazon (quicker).

*****EDIT 4/7/17- I received a second Crosshair VI and assembled the computer. I updated BIOS to 1002 before all else and can access BIOS. I then attempt to install WIN10 but as soon as the splash screen comes up the install freezes. I cannot populate DIMM_A2 slot with any memory and get Windows to boot. (The RAM is detected in BIOS but I am getting Q-code 54 & 55 and can not install Win10 and once installed will not boot as long as DIMM_A2 is populated; either stick of G.SKill works in DIMM_B1 & B2 or I can run two sticks in single-channel mode as long as DIMM_A2 is not populated. DIMM_A2 would not accept the PNY Anarchy 2133 (non-QVL). I tried to set the RAM speed in BIOS (not AUTO) and no change.

BOTTOM LINE: All the RAM I began with works. I get the same Q-code: 0d when 2nd MOBO DIMM_A2 is installed. WIN10 would not load OS and once installed will not boot as long as DIMM_2 is populated (BIOS sees it with 54 and 55 code and wont boot).*****

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I also got error 0D just after mounting a new AIO and, in my case, the error went away by loosening the screws a bit.
In my case it is an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 mounted with offset mounting, so it is not exactly centered on the cpu die, and this may be why.
After I loosened the screws a bit the motherboard started booting as usual and never got any other issue on that.
