hi i need some help with my new setup spec: x99 asus rampage/5960x/kingston predator c13 2666mhz.
i built this system and no matter what i do it will not go into windows with 4 sticks of ram installed , i couldn't even install windows on my system until i finally tried taking out some of the ram it was bsod as soon as it started to copy windows files.
the system works fine at triple,dual and single channel in any red slot or any of the sticks of ram? i just don't get what the problem is, the bios is seeing all 16gb of ram it posts starts loading windows followed by bsod and an error showing memory management error.

Enter in safe mode > Open Control panel > Open Administrative tools > Open Windows Memory diagnostic > Pick restart and check for problems. If this comes up with nothing. Try again to re seat the ram ( though its been done again and again. )

It also could be a voltage issue from a quick google.

have you tried using all 4 sticks of ram in the black slots?

so does the PC only boot with 3 slots of ram in? sounds like you have a faulty stick of memory and the PC doesn't like it

Yeah with all four in the black slots pc wont even post just black screen with cmos m/b error 59

so with all four sticks in the red slots the PC boots ok?

try and run memtest and let it run through as this will check the ram.

if you look in the manual what does it say error 59 is referring too? I don't have access to the manual so I am unable to check at the moment

the ram is faulty then, you will need to rma it, where did you get it from, OCUK?

Unfortunately not it from the bay. I'm trying to pin point which stick is bad now so I can contact the seller.

fair enough, as you said find out which stick is faulty and then go back to the seller, take some pictures as proof and forward them on to the seller

boot with 1 stick at a time in the system and whichever one is in the PC at the time with it failing to boot is going to be the faulty stick

Yeah I have found the bad stick, it won't even post every time with it installed and if it does it blue screens within seconds. Thanks for the help!
