I just built a computer recently and I cannot get it to POST or display anything. Here are the specs:
■ Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
■ Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
■ Asus Z87-PRO ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
■ Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
■ Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
■ MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card
■ SeaSonic X Series 850W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
When I hit the power button all the fans turn on and run while these codes are flashing. The DRAM_LED light flashes, and then it turns off while the CPU_LED light turns on, and then they just continue alternating flashing.
The Q-code stays on 55 for a while and then(very quickly)flashes from 10,13,15,21.....rinse and repeat.
I have made sure that the RAM is properly seated. I have tried one at a time in the correct slot. I have checked all the cords and everything is snug and dandy. I have cleared CMOS. I even tried loosening my CPU cooler to see if that had anything to do with it, and this is what worries me.... I had a problem when installing this cooler in the first place. If you check the link below this it will describe it. I added rubber washers and I am wondering if that messed something up....

The next step I was going to take is to remove my cooler and check the cpu. I really don't want to have to apply the paste though, so if there are any other suggestions before trying that please let me know.
I'm pretty new to building computers, so I appreciate any advice, thanks!
