Corsair is nasty in that if the Kit(Kit right? All 4 from same Kit?) is not v5.29 as the QVL indicates, that very well could be your issue. Corsair changes IC lots seemingly at will, hence the versioning of their memory.


I'm going on your Kit is not the QVL's v5.29 Kit tested on the QVL.

Borrow some mem from a friend or take it to a computer shop to verify my thoughts.





That's what I was afraid of. I think I'm just gonna return the board and get a different one then, which sucks as this board seemed to be among the few that actually got positive reviews. I bought the RAM second hand, so I can't return it.
Thanks for the help though!]]> Wed, 14 Mar 2018 16:42:43 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8033&PID=47709&title=asrock-x99-taichi-board-doa#47709 <![CDATA[AsRock X99 Taichi board DOA? : wardog wrote:Two things from...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8033&PID=47634&title=asrock-x99-taichi-board-doa#47634 Author: wardog

Well I reassembled it all. Cleared CMOS,RAM in the correct slots and still error 19. I've included a pic of the RAM I'm using. Using a kit of these, so they're all the same. They should be compatible according to AsRock's website.

RAM seems to be version 4.24, is that an issue?

I'll try this and upload a pic of my memory tonight when I get home. A2 and B2 is based on AsRock's FAQ when memory issues occur when using quad-channel. Normally you'd indeed insert them into A1, B1, C1 and D1.]]> Tue, 13 Mar 2018 16:22:35 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8033&PID=47577&title=asrock-x99-taichi-board-doa#47577 <![CDATA[AsRock X99 Taichi board DOA? : Huh?I just d/l&#039;d your manual.............]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8033&PID=47504&title=asrock-x99-taichi-board-doa#47504 Author: wardog

The other being pull the CPU and look for bent/misplaced socket "pins'

Unfortunately I don't have access to another X99 board, so that won't be a possibility. I did notice some barely visible smudges on the CPU, which don't come off with alcohol. I've been extremely careful with it, so no idea how they got there. My previous board was a Gigabyte one which randomly got into a boot loop. No post whatsoever, which led me to believe it was the board. The entire set worked fine up until the loop so I find it hard to believe the CPU would just be dead now. I guess I'm going to have to return this mobo, and see if my CPU still has warranty on it. :(

EDIT: Just wondering, but why would I get a different error with 1 stick in A2 or B2? These are the slots suggested by the manual when the board produces errors possibly caused by RAM. 53 means no usable memory, which I find odd.

Check the CPU and make sure there is no dirt/debris or damage to the contact pads or bending on the substrate. Given you had the CPU in another board that died, that is the first place I would look. It looks like either bad RAM (not likely if all sticks fail to post but possible) or a damaged CPU, probably a dead IMC (Memory controller on the CPU).

Sadly, all too often when a component in a PC dies, particularly critical ones like Motherboard, CPU and power supply they tend to take other components with them. 

I hope that isn't the case for you.

If you can, see if you can find a way to test your CPU in another board with different RAM, if it works then try your RAM in that board too. 

Tough break Cry

Hey,

My brand new AsRock X99 Taichi board refuses to boot. I keep getting error code 19 everytime, unless I put 1 stick in A2/B2, then I get error 53.
Tried all RAM slot combinations, reseating the CPU and clearing CMOS. BIOS version is 1.40.
CPU: i7 5820k
RAM: 4x4GB Corsair CMK16GX4M4A2800C16
Both are compatible according to AsRock's website. Am I missing something here or will this have to an RMA? If that's the case I'm just getting a refund and selling my CPU as I'm completely fed up with X99 boards. My last Gigabyte board quit on me after 3 months and now it seems I have another non-functional X99 board.

Regards,
fugalism
