The dreaded Q-code 55

AndehX

So, 5 months on, and this issue still plagues me. Is there any detailed information about what exactly this Q-code means?
I cannot cold boot my computer in the morning (after it's been off all night) without this damn q-code 55 repeating itself 20+ times. I have tried literally everything to fix it, but nothing even remotely makes a difference.

What exactly does this q-code mean? What is it referencing? What is different between turning my computer on in the morning vs restarting during the middle of the day? (besides the fact it's had time to physically warm up)

There must be a solution to this surely?

I've had G.Skill RAM be DOA, so could well be the RAM has gone south over time/usage, as they say **** happens. Usually Q-Code 0d and Q-LED DRAM (1st one, Amber) = DRAM fault. If POST codes are flipping and Q-LED DRAM is lit I'd be inclined to think RAM is at fault again. I'd try another RAM kit.
