Good news. I got into BIOS using a 4GB 2400Mhz stick of Corsair LPX (the same Brand/Model as the 16GB Sticks) and upgraded to version 1.80.  With the new BIOS installed I've been able to boot it up with the 16GB sticks and I'm setting up Windows now.

Thank you for your help, Wardog.]]> Sat, 23 Jan 2016 07:38:10 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1782&PID=9000&title=x99-professional-with-16gb-ram-sticks#9000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1782&PID=8879&title=x99-professional-with-16gb-ram-sticks#8879 Author: wardog

Any stick, singular. Like I said though, small and slow giving the BIOS the benefit of the doubt in recognizing it and boot.

4GB 2400 should be workable. Name brand, Corsair. Small enough it stands a far better chance.

Sorry, one final question, hopefully.

I only need 1x4GB stick, right?

Thanks again]]> Thu, 21 Jan 2016 20:44:18 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1782&PID=8877&title=x99-professional-with-16gb-ram-sticks#8877 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1782&PID=8876&title=x99-professional-with-16gb-ram-sticks#8876 Author: LoveMonkey

I can get a stick of Corsair Vengeance LPX 4GB 2400Mhz by tomorrow if I order today.
I don't know enough about the specs. Is 2400Mhz likely to be slow enough as the lowest seems to be 2133Mhz and those are value sticks. Maybe that will do, but for a couple of pounds more I would prefer a stick I might find a use for afterwards.

Stick(no pun intended :) )to the slower speeds and a 4-8GB Kit if you do. If only to almost guarantee the BIOS will recognize them and allow it to boot.

Thanks Wardog. I'll have to see if I can pick something up on my way home, otherwise I'll have to order some. The kit I have is Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GBx4.

Sorry man. I just re-read your posts.

Uh, NO you can't. Again, me bad there. I got stuck on your second post and had that fresh in my mind when I posted.

You will first need a working stick stick that the computer will run with.

1. Are you able to beg borrow or steal an 4GB-8GB stick from a friend?

2. Have a friendly mom and pop computer repair that might slap a stick in there and flash it for you?

3. No help here but what specific 64GB Kit of Vengeance 3000Mhz is it you have there.

Thanks for the response Wardog.

Can I use instant flash when my computer is failing to boot as it is currently, or do I need some other sticks of RAM to get it going.
I'm not sure how to tell if it is /3.1. There is no mention of /3.1 on the box that I can find. Under the Serial No and Part No is the code X99 PROFESSIONAL/A/ASRK if that helps.
