Tried all that, nominal charge to a local shop verified that I was right, bad MB. Memory, pwr supply, everything is all new and all different configurations tried to no avail prior to going to the shop.

Thanks

I wonder about the memory not being compatible. I use a set of G.SKILL F4-3200C16D-8GTZB in my Z170 Extreme7+ board, which is not listed in the Memory Support list, or in G.SKILL's Memory Configurator. Still, it is possible they aren't compatible. G.SKILL's memory list for both of our boards ends at 2800 speed DDR4 memory. I'm not sure what G.SKILL is implying by that.

When you use two DIMMs, which must be 8GB each, are they in the A1 and B1 slots? Every time you change the memory configuration, you should be clearing the UEFI/BIOS with the jumper on the board.

The USB ports won't get power until later in the POST process, after they pass their POST testing. Memory is done before the USB ports, so if that is failing, the USB ports will never get power. That seems to be the case.

No mention of the PSU model. Is it new? If not, have you used it in the recent past?

I would remove the video card, and just use the onboard graphics. Clear the UEFI/BIOS after removing the video card, use one DIMM in the A1 or B1 slot.

If I was still in AZ II would bring it right over. I was stationed in Tucson, where are you Wardog?

Merry Christmas Ken.

Unfortunately no. There isn't.

Any friend(s) that might help here in the way of DDR4?

A local computer shop test to swap some of their mem in would be a minimal charge to you. Just a thought .....

Ok, my mistake. Is there a way to verify that there is not another problem before buying more? If I remove all memory will I atleast get an error shown on the monitor, or something to tell me that the MB is good?

I also noticed that keyboard is not powering up. Mean anything?


The B at the end means these sticks are a second iteration and thus carry differently binned chips on the sticks. Not compatible.
