Can you get into the BIOS menus at all?Originally Posted by BlackOmega 
Hey fellas (and ladies), so I've finally gotten around to putting together my z68 rig.
However, I'm having some issues.
Here's the build so far : Asrock extreme 4 gen 3 board, 3770k, 4x4 GB Corsair xms 3, PC power & cooling 750w MK II psu, corsair force gt 90 GB. SSD, lian li. Pc9f case 2 x unlocked 6950's running @ 6970 clocks.
When I fire the rig up it goes in to a boot loop and doesn't POST. When in this loop on the debug LED it gets to 19. Which says something about the south bridge pre memory. Eventually it goes past it then hangs on 55 which states that there's no memory. I've tried several different sets of memory that I have and get the same code. What gives?
Do I need a Sandy bridge installed first and flash the BIOS for it accept the IB CPU?

If the BIOS is version 1.xx on the board, you need to install a Sandy Bridge CPU, flash to the most current 2.xx BIOS, and sure it POSTs OK, then reinstall the Ivy Bridge. From what I've read, Z68 boards have to be updated to their newest Ivy Bridge BIOS before the Ivy Bridge CPU is installed. Now if you had a Z77 board, it would work with Ivy Bridge out of the box.

So thinking that I may possibly have a bad stick in there, I pull 2 back out and install 2 known good sticks (the ones that were in slots A_1, and A_2). This time however, I put them in A_1 and B_1 so the board can run in dual channel. No POST, error 55. Try B_1 and B_2, No POST code 55. Tried different RAM, same result.
