Perhaps this will help you!
Thaks for the reply, but my problem seems to be caused by a different matter.
For future reference i will write down a list of troubleshooting steps with each result, till the one that solved the error.
Premise: the system runned on air for months, after which i installed a liquid cooling system with an EK Monoblock , and the system runned for months with this setup.
What i tried to solve the "Memory C5" and "Memory Test" errors:
- Clear CMOS -> no luck
- Checked every single stick of ram in various slots -> no luck
- Flashed different BIOSes with Asus Flashback -> no luck
- Removed all expansions card -> no luck
- Re-seated the GPU -> no luck
- Test with a total different DDR4 stick (single crucial 8gb 2400mhz) -> no luck
- Removed CMOS battery for 10 min -> no luck
And finally, after these steps, i remembered a ram detection issue, back in the days, with a X79 board, the issue was the overtightened waterblock.
So, i gently loose a little bit the four screw of the monoblock (1/4 turn of allen key), clear CMOS again and problem solved!
The system boot up just fine and now is working flawlessy.
