You can see my system specs in my profile. My computer works issue free. But i recently was using an Asus Z170 Maximus VIII Hero motherboard, sometimes the system had trouble booting, especially if i unplugged the power cord, getting the system to boot again was a pain. Sometimes after a couple boots the bios would reset.
Yesterday i decided to get an MSI Z270 Gaming M5 motherboard to replace the Maximus, but once i put it all together the system wouldn't boot, just black screen with an error LED on the board saying DRAM.
I don't understand how running this B150 board there are no issues, but just changing the motherboard to Z170 or Z270 gives me big issues. Is my CPU faulty somehow? My ram not compatible? My ram is a 3000mhz stick.
I'm confused.
