This is my first post to the forum. I am hoping the more experienced folks here can help me. I decided I would try to build a new computer to gaming specs. I even went for the RGB stuff. So, I found the Gaming 7 used on the auction site. I will list the build components down below.
On first start, it POSTed just fine into the BIOS. It detected all of the components including all 64 Gb of RAM running @ 3600 MHz. So, my M.2 NVME drive came in today. So, I installed it in the bottom slot M2P_32G. I also changed out the RAM to a "better" grade of Corsair RAM (Dominator). After the changes, it did not boot at all. I got a 4C, CC, C2, C4 error messages.
I did some searches online and decided to replace the RAM back to the original RAM Corsair Vengeance RGB 3000MHz. Same error messages. I then removed RAM from slots 2 and 4. Now the message is A0. It seems to be stuck there.
I am at a loss as to what happened. I suppose I should have left well enough alone with the RAM, but I thought it would be fine. Any help is most appreciated.
