Hi there.
I'm kind of lost now. I have bought a Rampage VI extreme. Here is my specs :

32 GB Corsair RGB Vengeance 3000MHZ - IS on the QVL
GTX1080 EVGA - was in my previous build, working properly
PSU Lepa P1700M 1700 Watts
I9 7900X

I CAN'T get the system to wrk properly. Always Freezes. 10 seconds in Windows and everything Freezes. I tried every BIOS i found, from 1301 to 1002, to 1102, to 0601. Absolutely no changes. Yesterday, i don't know how, i was able to play Far Cry 5 without problem. But this morning, again same problem. Tried my only 1 stck, 2 sticks, with and without XMP. I'm Lost now, thinking of RMA.

By the way, how long does it take for asus to change a Motherboard like this?

Thanks,

Is your CPU overclocked? Are all the power connections populated? Is there a Q code displayed when it freezes?

Everything is stock, no OC. I tried with only the 8pin, and the 8+4 pin power, no difference. No Q code, it behaves just like normal, giving the cpu temp. All temps a good btw. And nothing connectd to the board : no usb header, nothing.

did you try with both 8 & 4 pini ?

what ssd or m2 do you use what slot ??

what slots did use your ram ?black or grey ?? grey is recommended...try all of them start with single ram and etc on different ram slots

full system configuration will be useful

Hi !

Yes tried with 8pin alone and 8+4 pin.
I did test everything, 1 stick, 2 sticks, 4 sticks, in grey, black, only on the right side, only on the left side. My rams are given for quad channel operations, so it should work on the 4 grey pins. I use a Samsung 960 evo M2, tried on the Dimm2 card, and on the M2 slot under the shield.Also tried with a standard SATA SSD from kingston. At the end i tought it was a CPU bent pin, but no, socket is like new. I am really Lost now.

Full System config :

Rampage VI extreme
4x 8G Corsair Vengeance RGB , 32gb, total, 3000mhz, on the QVL List
I9 7900x
PSU Lepa P1700m 1700 Watts
Samsung 960 EVO M2 500GO
EVGA 1080TI Fouders Edition
Nothing plugged in the USB3.1 headers.

I did unplug the power cord ! Even unplugged the lithum battery onbard. Yes, it's mounted in a case. Q Led says everything is OK. And Qcode behaves normally. I did load optimal defaults. All ram detected every time. Sometimes i'm able to boot into windows. One night i was able to play Farcry 5, but everything seemed so slow...And the first start of the day, at cold boot, seems to be the worst.

You might try clearing the CMOS and retesting. Maybe all the bios updates corrupted something?

Can you list what exactly is connected to the rear IO and also internally.

so drives etc and also whether they're in a RAID array of any kind and which M. slot etc.
