Q Code 15 (Pre-memory System Agent initialization is started

"I have an Asus Maximus XII Formula Z490 motherboard. After the pump in my water cooling system turned off and caused high temperatures, the PC shut down. I replaced the pump, but now the computer won't turn on anymore; it gets to code 15 and shuts down. I've already changed the memory, tried different slots, and it still doesn't work. When I turn it on without the memory, the message with code 50 appears, indicating no memory. Could someone please tell me what to do?"

Please try to reset bios. Remove battery for a few second/minute and put back in.
Reseat graphics card also. Try 1 stick of ram at a time.

Also if you removed your CPU for some reason, see if you bent any pins.
Sometimes the error could show RAM but it really isn't the RAM.
