Hi fellas.

I've just finished building my new PC using:
Gigabyte GA-X99-Gaming WiFi
Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 2800MHz 16Gb (4x4Gb)
Intel i7 5930k


The system has worked for a week, albeit with a few hiccups.
If I played a game it blanked the screen for 5 seconds every few minutes.

I have checked all the connections making sure everything is well seated etc.
Okay so last night it started rebooting and sometimes it would get to the bios and sometimes not.
The error code on the motherboard is "50" "memory initialization error".

Before I read the forum I tried a different PSU and the problem remained.
I have pulled the RAM and tried one at a time, all were okay.
When I tried two together the problem reoccurs. I am now running on one memory module instead of the four.

I presume its the motherboard that is at fault??

Any help appreciated as to how to proceed.
 
My first suggestion would be to get the latest BIOS installed.

Is the RAM set to run at XMP?
