GA-X99-Gaming 5P Build Not Booting - Powers 1 Sec Then Off

(1/1)

DTFrontMan:
I'm currently not getting my new build to boot up.  It powers on for a second or two before shutting down then cycles off and on like that.  I've switched out my PSU for one that I know works and it's doing the same thing.  No VGA currently installed, I had 4 DDR4 sticks installed but removed them while testing based on suggestions online.  Currently just trying to power on with CPU and nothing else installed.  CPU is a brand new i7-6900K.  Should this be working at all?

DTFrontMan:
I was able to get it to flash a new version of the BIOs so I'm assuming the motherboard isn't fried.  Reading around I've seen people suggest RAM is the issue, mine is 2666MHz. 


--- Quote ---When I had this error, I had four 8gb Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4-2666 modules installed, I installed one stick of DDR4-2133 into DDR_4_3_1B, from there I was able to use the UEFI to force the settings to use 2400MHz and it worked fine after I reinstalled the DDR4-2666 (running at 2400mhz vice 2666mhz)

So I have a 4GB stick of DDR4 2133MHz on the way to try this. 

Can anyone confirm what all I need connected to get into BIOs?  I'm trying to keep the number of variables at minimum so if anyone knows what all I actually need it would be helpful.

I had to 2 16 gig sticks of vengeance higher mhz , I put 2 4 gig at 2133 n this sorted the power up then off as you describe
