So I have a z279 asrock fatal1ty board.....and I am not sure if it is busted or not - it has been giving me problems since day one.
long story short it is capable of 64 gb of ram - which I have tried my best to get it to work with.
I have gone through 3 sets of ram 1 set was RMA'd (so thats the 2) and one set I recently bought
The first set I tried was 4 sets of 16gb the other is 2 32 gb sets.
If the first slot is filled with a ramslot but nothing else it boots just fine most of the time.....however any other combination of more than one ram stick will cause weird settings.
The error codes will go all over the place and can be varied with each boot.
other times it will get into the eufi settings .... then freeze
sometimes it will boot to the os....then later on freeze.
I can't believe I got 3 dead ram orders in a row? (all from newegg)
The current set of ram I have both were able to work in the first slot.
I was able to get to the "picture settings" of the board in the eufi settings and it did show both ram sticks being seen, but it quickly froze.
Is this just a bad board?
I did try clearing the cmos but that did nothing.
First ram set was g. skill (4 x 16gb) the 3rd is crucial memory (2 x 32gb)
I am unable to test anything at the moment it is at the repairshop just to diagnose and they should have an answer by wed-fri of next week.....what are your thoughts on this? This board has been nothing but trouble for me and I am at wits end.
