Knowing just that makes this rather simple to diagnose. What parts did you move from the old board over to the "working identical motherboard" ? It's time, knowing this, to begin testing each of the pieces/parts that you swapped over. Guaranteed, it's one of them. |

I tried a working identical motherboard and I still get the same error. What could it be?

The ram is running at default timings and hz as I have reset the bios hundreds of times, and it was compatibile before, so that can't be the problem. The cpu was running with a very low OC, 4.4Ghz, it's a it 6700k,with voltage 1.3 (pretty safe), the rest was default. The vga has been removed and I tried switching to bios b and all the procedures that you listed. I couldn't understand the criteria they were changing with, maybe the ram stick in a different slot (I left a single one it, but tried both).
I have no video output so I can't see the booting or uefi, and all the errors I listed in the first post, are final errors, not phases of the boot, they stay on until I restart. |

If you are referring to the Dr Debug codes as errors, they really aren't. They are POST codes for individual processes that run during the entire POST process. If a POST procedure fails, its code will be displayed and will stay displayed until the board is restarted, shutdown, etc. A POST code appearing and then changing to another does not indicate errors occurring. That is what we want to see on the Dr Debug display. If the board does not produce the single POST Ok beep, then the code displayed is the process that failed or did not complete. What is the situation now with starting the board with only the memory and CPU connected to the PC? No video card too please. Can you get into the UEFI/BIOS? If not what code do you see displayed when the codes stop changing on the Dr Debug display? Do you have a POST beep speaker connected to the board? I imagine you don't. If you have one in another PC, try connecting it to this board. If you switched to the backup UEFI/BIOS, did you then run the Secure Backup UEFI feature in the Tools screen? That copies the backup BIOS to the main BIOS. When that is done, you then move the BIOS selection switch back to the 'A' position. If you did the above, or are still running the backup BIOS (switch in the B position), you are using a very early version of the UEFI/BIOS. Whatever came with your board, it will be shown by the stickers on the BIOS chips. If the earlier BIOS version did not work with your memory, that is aggravating your situation now, but is not the cause of the problem itself. If the PC worked with your memory for days or weeks, then its compatibility is not a question. But Corsair's compatibility list is mainly X99 boards, and only a few Z170 boards, not including yours. You asked how a CPU could break. How or why does any electronic component break? While I agree it is unlikely the CPU failed unless you had a crazy high VCore for some reason, all it takes is one of the millions of transistors in a CPU or memory chip to fail, and we have problems. You wrote this previously about your memory, which I don't understand: "...it could be the ram, that is not supported by default (it was when I got the pc)". |

Items still racing around in my mind concerning this .........
Assuming you have two sticks of memory as you say yoy've moved them in all combination, two sticks belong in A2 and B2. Place them in A2 and B2 then go and clear your CMOS via battery and jumper method. There's been enough changes in the BIOS now what with moving them here and there that a CMOS clearing is definitely in order now. |

Question for ya.
Were/are the memory and or CPU running at stock speeds and voltages? I'm not wagging a finger at either, I'm just trying to wrap my head around your issue(s) before deciding which tack to take in helping. |

So. I tried another working psu and it gives the exact same error. I'm pretty sure it's the mobo but there is a small chance it could be the ram or the cpu.
The ram could be unsupported by default. When you switch the bios selection, do you also have to flash a new fw for that or do they share the same? Because I'm sure that the ram default timings use to work on a previous bios version, the I used an xmp and upgraded the bios. Also, how and why could a cpu break? I just think it's the mobo. Any ideas? |

Let us know how the PSU swap goes.
If it doesn't, and if you care to, we can spend some diagnostic time here and maybe come to a conclusion what is happening there. |

You are right, I'm sorry, the ram is 2x corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15. It was running at 3000hz like it's supposed to, but the cmos reset should have reset it to its default value. I just don't think these things matter, as the pc has been running fine for a month and it just got a me blue screen two days ago, also I removed all of them and it doesn't start anyway.
Buy yeah, it could be the ram, that is not supported by default (it was when I got the pc), I don't think that both modules could have broken at the same time. And I don't think it's the cpu, as I wasn't doing anything special while the pc broke, at least, it's not likely to be the cpu. Also please notice that the mobo is giving me tons of different error, depending on whether I just reset it or not, and where the ram is, and that sounds very strange to me. But I'm pretty sure something is broken. tonight I'm going to test another psu. |

Sheesh! I'm beginning to sound like a broken record here.
What specific model of memory? And please don't respond with "just the ram" . These things we need to know. If you were I here, shoe on the other foot so to speak, and you read your posts so far, how much do YOU think you could help if was me the one asking for help???
