" rel="nofollow - I'm sure this has been beat to death but I have a code 55 with 4 beeps happening. Have tried swapping memory around with all 4 installed or just 1 at a time in each slot with now change. Have checked pins on cpu and reseated twice. Have cpu power plugged in board power plugged in pcie power plugged in. One weird thing I get a bd code if I run one stick of memory in the a1 slot. Specs are; Psu corsair TX850 Memory corsair dominator platinum 2666 16gb 4gbx8 I7-6800k 3.4ghz Gpu Asus Nvidia 760 gtx Thermaltake p3 Corsair 100i gt cooler Psu, Gpu are know good units. The board is from Newegg but was an open box. Any ideas? |

" rel="nofollow - You are using a 6800k Broadwell-EP, does your board have an updated BIOS to support it? It will need to be BIOS version 3.0 or higher. If not you will need to either use a Haswell-EP CPU and update it or contact ASRock Tech support and organize a new preflashed BIOS chip from them. If memory serves they are very helpful with this particular issue. -------------

Sadly this happens a lot, ASRock can't update the UEFI on boards that are already on the shelves   Luckily Tech Support is very helpful with this issue in particular  -------------
