   Greetings.. I'm trying to get this Mobo started... and I continue to not be able to post and the 0A code keeps showing up on the mobo.  I've swapped / moved / tried 1 and both memory sticks in each slot -  all with the same result.  (the memroy I'm using IS on the approved list)     cpu is intel I7-8700k 8th gen   Memory is Corsair Dominator Platinum series 2 x 8gb ddr4 3000 MHZ CMD 16gx4m2b3000c15.  No other devices pluged in... using mother boards graphis for now to see if I can get this to post. 
Any recommendations?

	Leave it to Cursair. A million and one revisions of this kit. Please post a pic(s) showing the rev # on each stick of your kit.

	Me, myself, and I think(KNOW!!) the Mem QVL is outdated in that it was created many many BIOS revision ago. I'd suggest borrowing a friends DDR4 and trying with those instead. Otherwise, contact ASRock Tech Support by phone tomorrow at 1-909-590-8308 (Pacific Time Zone, as yours) during normal business hours. Ask to have them retry the CMD16GX4M2B3000C15 rev5.3 Kit they have on your MB. It may take a day or two for them to accomplish this overseas and get back, so be forewarned. Keep me updated please.

	So...after paying $ to have the board tested w/ cpu - memory..etc from the recommended distributor.. it was determined to be DOA... unfortunate...I had high hopes.
