ASRock z370 Killer SLI/ac -boot loop

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   So, I have built all my computers and my families and friends computers since windows 3.1 but have been out of the loop for 3 or so years. In the past I have tried to stick with EVGA so this is my first ASRock build and its not going well. Got a combo deal from newegg and parts I have are as follows.

Relevant Parts:

Combo: ASRock z370 Killer SLI/ac / Intel i7-8700 3.2ghz 12mb cache LGA 1151
G.SKILL F4-2400C15Q-16GVR kit (4x4gb modules = 16gb total)
Gigabyte GTX 1050 2GB 128bit GDDR5
Kingston 480GB Internal SSD
Corsair 750w PS

At first it wouldn't post, then after messing around a while we narrowed down memory modules and found one of them would prevent the system from posting.

Then we booted into the bios finally and allowed the bios to be updated by the network updating utility. It took longer than expected but says it flashed successfully. And I was able to get partially through the Windows 10 Pro Install, but it was crashing at the login screen. After much troubleshooting it was suggested that there was something wrong in the chipset, so I asked newegg what they thought I should do, they RMA'd the mainboard and got the new one and it is the same problem all over again.

I am not even considering overclocking, I just want a stable system but so far I just have a paperweight that cost over a grand.

I know this memory is listed in the compatible list, but it sure feels like it might be the weak link in the chain.

Anyone have any idea what is going on, I dont feel like swapping parts randomly if it might be a setting, or a bios flashing issue. 

Ideas?

	On newegg's feedback for this motherboard seems others are having similar issues and no matter if the board is replaced or not it is the same result.
