Z87 MPOWER debug code 55

[vsolon7]

So I was using my computer and then it randomly turned off then turned on for about 5 seconds and repeated the cycle. So I read some forums and they said clear the cmos, now it turns on and stays on, but the debug less cycle from 10 -> 19 -> 00 -> 55 endlessly. I also checked for a bent CPU pin and I did find a hair inside of the socket, can't find the thermal paste atm so I can't test it yet.

Reseat the ram.

Debug Code 55 is no memory installed so the board could be faulty or the CPU socket has bent pins or you have bad memory installed.

 

[vsolon7]

Yeah, already reseated it twice with two sets of RAM. So all that leaves is faulty board?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes , if the other 2 have been checked and okay , time to RMA the board.

 

[vsolon7]

Wait with only one RAM in it works

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Then if that's the case you have a bad ram slot or a bad memory module.

 

[vsolon7]

Alright I'll do some more testing

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

At least you know it's one or the other , good luck with the testing.

 

[vsolon7]

Well it seems one RAM is bad, thanks for the help

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

No problem , glad to help.
