Hello everyone,
I have an ASUS Z170-Deluxe motherboard with G.Skill memory cards TridentZ F4-3466C16D-16GTZSW (2x8GB). When the PC starts, the DRAM_LED LED lights up and I have a 55 error. I tried to update the BIOS in version 3007 with the flashback BIOS method. I tried to put the memory strips one by one, in different locations. It does not work either.
Do you think this comes from memory modules that are not compatible with the motherboard?
Do you have any idea how to help me?
Thank you for your help.

I don´t see where he found your Motherboard Isn´t compatible with the Ram Following Asus site: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z170-DELUXE/specifications/ your ram 3466 is totally fine. Look on your CPU and check that all the Pins are normal and not bent, check if the ram is properlly Plugged in (You normally need quite an ammount of force to make them fit)

try aswell only 1 Stick of ram at the time and on different sockets


Error 55 means something is wrong with your Ram, maybe you have a bend pin or the Socket is simply deffect.
Here is another similar problem to yours https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/solved-55-error-asrock-z77-extreme-4.170736/
 
The 55 error isn't just about RAM it also does go with the CPU. Have you tried reseating your CPU? Also did you just upgrade to these RAM sticks? Upon reading Asus qvl list with your RAM, it seems there's a limitation based on the CPU. If you can get into BIOS try under clocking the RAM and see if it will boot
