Hello. I’m working on my first pc build and I’m trying to make a test bench like setup just for the first boot. I’ve only installed cpu, cpu cooler, 2x ram sticks and 24 pin and cpu power.
at first I used an intel celeron g4900 on an evga z370 ftw motherboard and 2x8gb g skill ripjaws v ram and I got a post code 53, memory initialization failed, no usable memory. I went from slots 2,4 to just 2 and then 4. Then tried 1,3 and 1 then 3. Looked for bent cpu pins, cleaned off thermal paste on cpu, was preowned and covered when it arrived. Same result, post 53. I switched ram for Corsair vengeance rgb pro, same result
I used my intel i5 9600k. Tried the same 2 ram sticks, ripjaws V and Corsair and even tried g skill trident. Always the same thing, post code 53.
I just don’t know what to do, motherboard is the only common denominator but doesn’t look bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also I’m sorry for length, I just wanted to be thorough.
