Hello

What is the Q-Code that is displayed when the system halts? If the system is not booting to the operating system after the install is finished the most likely cause is either the correct drive is not selected as the boot device or the install did not complete successfully. Holding the power button in till the system shuts down enables safe boot mode. When this is activated the Overclocking Failed message will also be shown. This feature seems to be working as designed.

55 seems to mean memory not installed. But when boot up again i get into bios and mem is installed. Im now trying to install windows again from usb

What will happend now is first time windows needs to reboot it will go back to black screen. Then i have to shut it down with the power button and windows fails to install.

The mem is properly installed. I wouldnt be able to get as farvas installing windows. Would I?

Ok i started up then into bios exit again an it starts windows. But in the process it suddenly restarts again. Q code now is 6d

I havent been able to install a operating system so far because of this problem. I just disabled cpu fan in bios and restarted. And nothing happends. Q code says 55

Hello

Q-Code 55 is a memory error. Check that the modules are properly installed in the correct slots. Fully clear the motherboard's UEFI and reboot.

I actually got in to windows. Amazing 🙂 but still get overclocking failed on boot and have to shutdown computer before i can get into windows. Thinking i will replace this mobo. So far its crap.
