Welcome to the ROG forums, jasone3178.

Please remove your CPU and examine the CPU socket closely for bent pins. And when you reseat the H100i make sure not to overtighten the screws.

Likely to be the Ram. R4E mobo is very picky when it comes to Ram. Especially vengeance ram.
Try running with just 2 sticks of ram - see if that eliminates problem, if not try 1 stick.

thanks for the suggestions but none of these works, none of the pins are bent and i tried with 1 and 2 sticks of ram anyone have suggestions where i can find the solution to the problem?

Did you reseat your H100i making sure not to tighten the screws too much?

[jasone3178]

yeah i did i might do it again later i read somewhere to pull out the ram and graphics card and clean the gold connectors with an eraser also do you have any idea why it would have run for 30 mins then died because i cant comprehend why it would run then die.

[jasone3178]

also might i ask why reinstalling the h100i and not tightening the screws too much will help?

That method is used to clean them. To be honest, I'm not sure. Can be anything at this moment.

Because this issue with the 00 Q-Code has been documented on these boards before. Coincidentally those users were also using the H100. Apparently they had overtighten the screws to a point where they were warping the motherboard. As a result, some of the pins weren't making contact with the CPU.

Something as sensitive as screw-tightening really needs a "torque-based" screwdriver to make sure the screws are tightened to a certain specification. That's how you properly install spark plugs in a car. It should certainly apply to computers.
