Hello! I cant get my new set up to work:
Mobo: GA Z170XP-SLI Rev 1.0
CPU: I5 6500
Ram: Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x8GB kit 2400
GPU: GeForce GTX 750 Ti - eVGA
SSD: Samsung 850 evo 250gb
When I power on the pc it makes 5 long beeps (i think they are long, at least compared with some youtube videos) and then starts again (always with black screen). I've changed the CPU and get the same error, then I found that many people in the forum are having trouble with z170 Gigabyte mobos and >2133 Ram. I've already tested all different combinations of ram set ups (1 stick, 2 sticks, different slots etc) and disconnected all components except cpu and ram. Also when starting the pc with no ram I get the same beeps and loop but the mobo starts beeping sooner.
I have no other ram to swap, I've considered buying a 2133 module just to start the computer, configure the bios to use ram in 2133 and then put my 2x8 kit back again. Do you think this may work? does anybody know a solution/workaround without having to change my RAM?
