Hey guys. I've been building a new x79 system and I'm having nothing but trouble with it. Here are the specs...
F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH g.skill ripsaw ram 2133mhz 4x4gb
Intel 3930k
Asrock extreme9 x79
Corsair h100
Nvidia Haf x case
CoolerMaster goldplus 1200w psu
Gigabyte 670
Samsung 830 ssd
So heres the problem. Before I got the asrock, I had an Asus p9x79 Deluxe. Put it all together. All ram was detected and i was in bois. Turned off. Came back later to install windows. The computer turned on for 2 seconds and all fans spun then turned off. It kept doing this every time I tried to power on. I sent for a replacement motherboard. Posted into bios. Detected only 3 of the 4 sticks of ram. Tried all ram in slot A1 and only 3 sticks worked. Tried a working stick in each individual dimm and D1 and D2 were dead. Sent for ram and mobo replacement again. All ram working in slot A1, but same problem again, only 3 sticks detected. Tried one stick at a time in all the slots and D slots didnt detect any ram. Said abnormal dimm in asus bios. Contacted asus and after adjusting timings etc they said to rma the board. So i was fed up and got asrock extreme9 instead. But same problem again. D1 wont detect ram. What are the chances ive received 3 motherboard in a row with the same dead dimm slots. As ive tested all the ram in slot A1 and it posts each time, I dont think its that. I have latest bios on both the asus and asrock. I am beginning to think its the CPU, but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Sorry for spelling and what not. I am very tired -.-
Many thanks!
