Q Code 55 Error

Ccutsa7989

Hey, i just set up my new system last night and ran into a couple of issues.

Upon completing the build and starting it up it began to give me error code 55, which points to being a ram issue.
I am currently running 16G (4 x 4g) Corsair Vengeance 1600, and i could not get it to post at all. I got it to finally work after testing each stick and showing that they are all working, but it was only working with one stick at a time. I went into bios and set it to use XMP and profile 1, which changed it from 1333 to 1600 on the profile. I was able to get two sticks to run in it after making those changes.

Right now i have a Stick in A1 and a stick in A2, so they are running single channel, but i cannot get it to post with all 4 sticks still. When i get home ill see if i can get it running while in A1 and B1 for dual channel. What else should i try to get this ram to work. I am somewhat new at building systems.

Is this a single 4X4GB kit or two kits combined?

I had tried that last night. I could try loosening them a little bit more when i get home.

If that doesn't work, I want you to remove the CPU and inspect the CPU socket for any bent or missing pins. Then proceed to test your system using the stock heatsink for the i7-4770k. Report back your results for me please.

Didnt see any bent pins and it seems to be the same as before. I did it pretty quickly at my lunch break so i may need to do a more thorough inspection when i get home.
Any other suggestions?

Please try the Intel CPU cooler and see how that goes.
