Won't boot in 64 bit : Maximus VIII Impact

[Code_Panther]

System specs:
Mobo: Maximus VIII Impact
cpu: 6700k Skylake
RAM: Dominator platinum ddr4 2x16GB 3000MHZ
GPU: GT240


Hello all!

Just completed a new build and haven't been able to install windows 7,8.1,10 in 64 bit without getting a bsod screen, just when the installation boots on windows logo

The Bsod screen is the following: 0xc000021a and then when it gets to a booting loop it changes to Critical_process_DIED Bsod
I have no problems on post... just the booting of any usb or dvd of windows 64bit. But I manage to run any 32 bit system and now running virtual box on win7 32 bit it boots any kind of 64 bit Dvd from windows
And I have been going through mobo settings:
clear cmos button
cms on/off;
boot secure - other Os/windows uefi;
Fast boot - on/off;
Load efi from usb drives;
xhci- On/off
Optimised defaults;
Sata set to ahci;
1 Ram stick;
Boot as Uefi or non UEFI
Unplug battery from mobo

Same bsod comes up. I also have tried all windows f8 boot options and all end up with the blue screen.
I also have updated the bios and same thing...
If there is something like virtual box that can load a windows image in64 bit into the bios my problems would be solved.
Or another way I can load a 64bit OS into a HDD or ssd with the asus drives in it.

Will appreciate all the help as I'm getting a cancer from it 😄
Also been on and on with it for days trying to find a solution even with asus mail support and other places on the web.

Try downloading a fresh image from Microsoft.

What is you current BIOS version?

Because i got similar setup as your mainboard and rams.

Well that is very helpful!!! I was starting to think that the Ram Compatibility could be the culprit!
Thank you!

I'm using the bios version 1402... Oh just saw they just released a new one just last week...
but the problem start with the previous version and then I updated to 1402 to see if it solved.

Currently my corsair ram setup XMP mode. So far my system is stable with bios 1402. Running in cpu stock speed with ram xmp mode.

Well I have the xmp mode off...but I can try turn it on

Since you have the same mobo as me can you tell me if ther is a jumper t buo clear completely the bios instead of the cmostton... As I don't see any RTC pins I only see the LN2 and slowmode pins next to the bios chips. But those are just for Overcloking right?

Not possible no jumper to clear BIOS completely. Only way is to remove button battery connector.

If possible please read up mainboard instruction manual about this.

I did and it's pretty vague about this and many other things like even the manual is based on other mobos which have a total different design.

Hmmm. Anyway did try to run RAM in XMP mode and monitoring now? Let us know.
