" rel="nofollow - Hello ASROCK Forum, I'm pretty frustrated about this problem, and I hope that you can help me. As you will be able to see in the link below, when I press the power button, the computer shows "Waiting for BMC Initializing" for 30 seconds counting down - then powers off, and goes to "System Initializing" - showing "19" for a brief second then freezes at 53.

What I've tried so far: Clearing the CMOS, booting with one stick of RAM (then swapping them out) and booting with no RAM.
I'm currently unable to do anything and everything in my build is brandnew. I've tried to contact my dealer, and he says that the board is fine and that he has testet it and booted into both Windows and Linux. What he has done different, is he uses some different RAM.
My current setup consists of: CPU: i3-6100T CPU-COOLER: CRYORIG H7 MOBO: ASRock E3C236D2I RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 16GB DDR4 2133MHZ HDD: IRONWOLF 6TB CASE: NODE 304 PSU: Be Quiet! Straight Power 10 CM 500W Gold
My dealer has attempted to boot with non-ECC RAM, and he says the 53 is an errorcode for the RAM. He also says, that the board is very picky and doesn't support certain RAM despite the fact that they meet the recommendations of the board. (ECC, 2133 MHZ, DDR4, MAX. 16 GB PER STICK)
I want to know if anyone of you know anything about this errorcode or has experienced anything like this. I also want to know if you know something about what RAM ARE supported by the board. These RAM are not cheap, so trying out a lot of different sticks is not really an option for me.
I also want to know, if you know a way that I can contact ASRock directly. They are not responding to my e-mails or my facebook messages. It's really pissing me off, since I'm stuck with parts worth $2000 that I'm unable to use.
