Hi! First post here.
I have an Asrock z87 Extreme4 motherboard with 16gb of RAM which works perfectly fine in slots A2 and B2 (8gb each), and I tried to add 16gb more RAM (so 8GB each stick) in slot A1 and B1 but I kept getting the error code 55. Each set of RAM is the same exact model just ordered years apart. I want to be able to put 32GB RAM on motherboard and make it work.
Cpu: i7-4770k
Ram: crucial 16gb kit ddr3L 1600mhz pc3-12800 https://a.co/d/1yzOj4x, website shows DDR3 but I received DDR3L.
Motherboard: asrock z87 extreme4
Troubleshooting steps I tried:
- Reseat all RAM
- Try each Ram in each slot individually (works)
- slots A1 and B1 works (both sets of RAM)
- slots A2 and B2 works (both sets of RAM)
- slots A1 and B2 works (both sets of RAM)
- slots A2 and B1 works (both sets of RAM)
- Slots A1 and A2 does not work
- A1 and B1 and B2 does not work (will POST but only shows 8 GB memory)
- B1 and B2 does not work (error 53, memory and CPU error which made me reseat CPU)
- A2 and B1 and B2 does not work (will POST but only shows 8GB memory in only A2)
- A1 and A2 and B1 does not work (will POST but only shows 8GB memory in only B1)
- reseat CPU (no pins bent)
- reset CMOS by taking out battery pressing reset button, leave for 30 seconds out, and then putt battery back in
- Seating all 4 RAMs shows error 55
- set DRAM voltage to auto, 1.35 (DDR3L), 1.5, and then 1.6 with all came back with the same 55 error with all four sticks put in
- taking out A1 and B1 and leaving A2 and B2 shows 8GB memory which I then reseat and turn back on which then appears 16GB memory
At this point, I feel like I've tried all the troubleshooting steps I found in the Techpowerup, Reddit, and Tom's hardware site.
Each of the RAM sticks work. I know it's not the RAM also because this is a re-order since I just bought the same set a couple weeks ago and it didn't work so returned, reordered and get the same issue with these.
The first set of RAM sticks I bought were from a couple of years ago and shows assembled in Malaysia.
The second set of RAM sticks I bought were recently and shows assembled in USA.
They're the same exact brand, Crucial, all 8GB DDR3L 1600UDIMM.
Should the assembled in USA/Malaysia be a factor of this?
Should I order another set and hope it's assembled in USA and it'll work?
Should I order another branded set?
Thanks in advance!
