Hi folks,

I used the most recent Tom's 1000$ build (save for the SSD, I did 120 instead of 60) and after setting everything up I'm getting an error with the boot. I get 4 rapid beeps and the code on the Mobo (ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Performance LGA 1155 Intel P67) is "55" which the manual states is "memory not installed". The memory I am using is Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 996995 (as stated on the guide). It's possible I have just been given bad memory. We have tried doing each stick by itself and we get the same issue. The reason I am writing is because I am getting a varying amount of responses online, some say processor related (I have the Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz), others say graphics. Is there anyone that can help me? I've already started the process on returning the memory in hopes it is just very bad luck. I'm just trying to cover all the bases here in case someone else knows more to this issue.

Thanks.

I am not 100% sure, but my better judgement tells me that Tom's would make sure the processor and mobo are compatible.

http://www.asrock.com/news/events/2012ivy/ states that these motherboards are compatible with Ivy Bridge, so I'm stumped.
