Ok, i'm guessing you didn't have a look at your manual for the Q-Code?. Code 55 states that the RAM isn't installed. Open your case(if not already open) and double check to ensure you seated the memory modules properly, denoted by a double click sound to confirm successful installation...when you've ensured the RAM is correctly installed, try booting your system again. If it still fails to boot, check your connectors are secured in placed properly, I mean the EZ-PLUG connector and also the 2x4 pin plugs which is a 8 pin that splits into 2.

Good luck and I hope this helps 🙂

P.S Code 10 is PEI Core is started...whatever the hell that is lmao

i replaced the board yesterday, got everything installed nice and easy cpu, hydro, one stick of ram etc.; i even used ati hd 2xx series low profile card to break in pcie 4 slots, my hd 6950 seems kinda big for this mission. 1st try qcode 10, 50; 2nd try qcode 10, momentary F.F. and qcode 50 ..

For now, don't worry about code 10...it seems to be ok(i hope lol) as for code FF...there is nothing in the Manual except it's for future AMI BIOS error codes...or something along those lines, please do try what I suggested as above 🙂

i had it working for a bit ..:) with my low profile ati 2400, i was also able to do bios update from pen stick, as soon as i swapped cards to hd 6850 with modded bios and to 3rd pcie slot i got back to the biggining qcode 10, 50; however when i were running with hd 2400 i was hitting q-code 99, that's good right?

Code 99 is good yes, "Super IO Initialization" now you have posted something interesting...when you removed the ati 2400, did you first uninstall the drivers before doing so?

i was trying to replicate everything but still no go, after clearing cmos memory with jumper; it all goes back to same thing qcode 10 then c5 and eventually qcode 50 even with hd2400 in same pcie#1(closest to cpu).
I havent gotten to os install yet, i flashed bios successfully, did bios setup and saved it, too bad i didnt save it in oc tools 😞
put hd6850 into pcie#3 and that's all she wrote ..... cmos battery out in, doesnt matter ..
All i know is that i should mem ok when i installed last stick, but then again i removed cmos batttery once again .....
