sc302 Veteran Posted September 10, 2017 Veteran Share Posted September 10, 2017 Asus has a issue when putting too much pressure on the processor heat sink. It will cause memory errors and won't post because of it. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2939933/asus-hero-vii-memory-slot-issue.html This is also an issue with new asus motherboards like my Maximus ix Kaby lake board. I over tightened, it and got the memory issue. It wouldn't post, reseated memory, took everything out and it still wouldn't post. I thought it was a bad board processor or memory. I went through the internet and saw a lot of complaints with asus boards spanning multiple models. I ended up loosening up on the heat sink, just making it snug, then everything came up normal. I see a lot of complaints about defective boards and almost everyone complaining about memory issues with the "defective" boards. I don't think that they are necessarily defective as much as I think that they just need to back off on the pressure of the heat sink.
