Hello, I am helping a friend with his PC because we're both clueless to what the problem could be.
After we upgraded to a faster SSD and a MoBo which can support the speeds, the system didn't come further than post code C5 or 27. We thought it was a MoBo problem since it occured with the new board (we tried the ssd in the old board and that worked). We loosened the bolts a bit on the CPU cooler. That wasnt the problem, because it also didnt post on the old board anymore either.
We then looked at other posts and thought it eas the RAM. We bought new, supported RAM for our system. It didnt change. At this point we did find out that it works with one stick in B2 (and i believe B1 and B2 both work).
Then we concluded it must be a faulty memory controller in the CPU. We switched our CPU for a new one. It didnt change anything. We still believed it was another faulty CPU, so I put my CPU in, which works in my system, but doesnt in his.
We also switched the CPU cooler from a liquid cooler to an air cooler, and PSU, and tried out switching the SSD's, new windows install. Pretty much everything. It. Just. Doesn't. Work.
Lately it doesn't stop at C5 with the stop codes, it usually stops at 27. also the front USB doesn't recognize USB sticks anymore. We usually are at single channel so the top speeds are 2133MHz instead of 3200MHz..
Either we're the most unluckiest people with PC's or we're completely missing something. We're at this for like a month or 2 now with couple hundreds extra spent (not my idea, but still)
Please help! Every bit of brainstorming is appreciated!!
