No Post with GA-270X K7 Gaming Rev1 & G.SKILL TridentZ(2x8GB)f4-4000c19d-16gtz

I am running an i7-7700k it autotunes from 4.2 to 4.7 Ghz not 5 Ghz many report

My main problem on which I may return the motherboard CPU and/or Ram is that it will not post into Wiindows 8.1.

If I go to my bios and turn on XMP Profile 1 that's 4000 Mhz no dice it freezes crashes tries to reboot several times then only comes up at 2133 Mhz.

Major Bummer!

Have tried to call California support and have lost 5 calls disconnected with no progress all returned calls took hours then were dropped my reception not the best.

 :o

This morning updated my bios to F4b


On good note it seems to have gotten bios to post at the XMP 1 profile of 4000MHZ

On the bad even though I checked my boot drive priority and 2-3 other relevant settings my boot drives os is no longer seen.

Any ideas folks????

I have the same no post problem on mine but is a ultra gaming z270x. I RMA'd. My issue as no display at all.  I ran down all the troubleshooting methods and nothing. Took out of case and still no luck.
