Okay, I was going through it again and again but here I go...

1. Reseated both sticks to A2 B2

2. Updated BIOS to 7704 using Flashback USB

After that I tried to boot up, everything powered up, fans spinning, RGB LEDs in full color, but Q-Code stopped at F9 for a brief moment (after like 3-4 codes before but they just blinked...) and then changed to 0d and everything stays powered up, but with no signal at monitors... no beeps, nothing...

CPU Ready (Green LED) lit, and DRAM (Yellow LED) lit.



I let it run for a while, nothing. Restarted with power button = nothing...

Back to Single Stick in A1 (Which is weird...), because nothing else letting me to Boot... and post on forum.

Ohhh my... I don't how I overlooked this, but it seems it's only one of the sticks is able to work this way... second one, which I just put aside cause I can't get them to work, seems to get the F9 Q-Code, then goes into AA, but the outcome is the same = PC won't gonna boot...

So, it seems like it's problem with RAM again, despite them being swapped for brand new, like how it could happen... I never in my life experienced something like this... I would be pretty much ready to blame some other things, and it turns out it's all about RAM from the beginning.

So... I'm back after some time...

After last message I was able to RMA my second kit of G.Skill RAM and decided to gave up on G.Skill and changed my RAM to

Corsair 32GB 3200MHz Vengeance RGB PRO White CL16 (2x16GB)

I reseated and cleaned everything again as I was waiting for delivery with new RAM again - and the problem magically vanished.

I was using my PC pretty much normally... I had some issues along the way, but they seemed to be software related, didn't even think about it, as this issue from the first post seemed to be solved, as I don't face any BSOD's, PC booted normally and everything seemed to be fine from the Hardware point.

But... I was getting some really weird crashes in games, the game was able to just froze from really high fps to still frame, then after few secs I was back on desktop without prompt or crash reporter, just like ALT+F4... I was like "It's prodably some driver related problem or some problematic graphics settings/programming error" and I struggled with it for a next couple of days with no results,as the games were crashing on very much inconsistent times... like 3 times in a row within 30 minutes or I could play for a 2-3 days without any issues - which was weird... as the troubleshooting was impossible at this point.... also I didn't get any Errors in Windows Event Viewer, anything at all anywhere about the issue happening at all...

After some time, the games were running just worse over time, but it was the same story like with the crashes, the game could run smooth or run weird af after some prolonged periods or right from the beginning... so I was thinking that maybe I'm suffering from some overheating problem or something else that might be related to performance degradation overtime... so I cleaned my drives, did some maintenance stuff etc. and lastly... I changed my thermal paste on CPU, then after this my problem from the very first post came back again...

I'm running on single stick in first slot again, as I'm not able to boot while any other slots are occupied or the RAM kit is in other than A1_Slot and this is post is being wroten after my first BSOD without any at all in 1,5 month period (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA)

I don't really know what's the problem at this point again... i have no clue what's wrong, and I'm just really sad af cause I don't know what should I do next.

All I can think of right now it's either faulty CPU or some problem with Motherboard... I would pretty much blame Motherboard at this point as the RAM being replaced 3 times... CPU is working fine, and the Motherboard just seems to have some problems with booting with more than 1 stick again...

I was also suspecting bent pins on my CPU (and I know that they can produce a various spectrum of problems and as CPU was the last and the only thing I touched before my problem came back, I checked the pins as well, and they're fine... last I can think of is that it could be the problem with the Motherboard CPU Slot as this is the only place I was doing anything that could cause the problem to come back


I wrote all of this to maybe possible help anyone in the future, as this is the problem I'm trying to fix for a very long time, and while the symptoms are similiar to others that I found all over internet, then the possible solutions are being not helpful in my case in a long run, or at all... and the problem persist, so there's is something wrong here but I don't really know what...

Oddly enough, while I was able to make it work for 1-month long~ then the "performance" of games was not what it used to be before this problem happened... but I wasn't able to pinpoint it, nor even realize that something was wrong, until I was forced again to run on Single Stick (The Performance of Games was much better and stable...despite running on half of the RAM and in Single Channel Mode instead of 2x16GB) So while it seemed to working perfectly fine for a bit, it wasn't... and it was so subtle, that it was so hard to even blame it and link it to this issue...

I hope that someone experienced will maybe somehow ends up here, and help me to identify the issue and get rid of it once and for all...

EDIT 27/02/2020 : As I literally run out of ideas and willpower, I decided to RMA both my Motherboard and CPU (just to be sure), as I end up on some other threads pointing it out it could be either entirely Motherboard problem or CPU Memory Unit, and I will edit my post, hopefully with a solution to this, and end of my prolonged problems.
