55 is often caused when the board is warped due to an overtightened CPU cooler or one that has been fitted such that a CPU pin has been moved out of line in the socket.
Firstly remove the cooler and CPU and check the pins in the socket. Once you have done this remove the battery and then replace the CPU and if you have an Intel box cooler try that or very carefully mount the waterblock making sure you dont overtighten. Then reset Bios and try booting the board with one stick, nothing boot power, mem and VGA in the system. If it boots mem test this stick two passes. Then systematically test each stick in turn.
Once you have confirmed the sticks all work correctly through mem test then start adding extra sticks to the system one at a time until you have all 4 installed.
See how this goes and post back.

Your CPU is not supported without a 3 series bios,thats why you cant boot up. so you have 2 choices,if you have a Sandybridge CPU laying around,or you have a friend who has one,just pop it in your board,flash to the latest 3 series bios,then put your Ivy cpu in,job done. Or if not,then follow my guide below toflash blind,but you must follow my instructions to the letter.

Here is the port you need to use.
