[SOLVED] Motherboard showing Q code 00, 15, 30, 4C

[ItsKieranL]

I purchased another CPU / processor since my old one had bent pins, when i got the cpu / processor in the computer it powered on but did not show anything on the monitor, and also showing the Q codes 00, 15, 30, and 4C.

My specs are:
Case - NZXT H500
CPU / Processor - I7 6700k, my old one with bent pins being an i5 6600 non k
GPU - GTX 1060 6GB
Power supply - cm650x
motherboard - Asrock z270 taichi
CPU cooler - Hyper 212x evo
ram - 2x4 Corsair vengeance LPX 2400 - CMK8GX4M2A2400C14
1x8 Hyper fury - HX424C15FB2/8
The only thing i can see being the issue is the ram / memory being incompatible with the motherboard / cpu.

I have tried replacing the CPU and cpu cooler, trying booting with the bear minimum.
And i have also took out the CMOS battery and waited around 20 minutes and still no luck.

I have ran out of ideas to fix it, any suggestions?

What code getting when starting the board with RAMs removed?

What code getting when starting the board with RAMs removed?

When the ram is removed i get the Q code 53

Now try inserting single RAM, graphics card removed. Test each RAM slot on the board and make sure that you're correctly inserting the RAM all the way in. See what code getting in each case.

For both ram kits the 2x4 and 1x8, i get the same error codes - 00, 15 , 30, 4C

Have you inserted only one RAM module at a time, and in all 4 cases, the code is 4C?

Yes, and the code still cyles between 00, 15, 30 , and 4C, but it sticks on 4C for about a second longer

Are you sure that you're correctly inserting the RAM? If yes, and still the same, try testing with board outside the case, to rule out a short.
The 53 code when RAMs removed is correct, so I'd say that board and CPU do work. It's something wrong with RAMs. Either installation, or... I don't know.

I have removed the motherboard out of the case, and i still get the same results - 00, 15, 30, 4C

Here: same issue: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3330061/asrock-fatality-z270-gaming-error-codes.html
Again, check the RAMs installation. But carefully, to not break something. There are some videos on youtube, for how to.
