Error 55 detected on MSI Force Z690 with no boot detected.
Mobo: MSI Force Z690 WIFI CPU model 13700k PSU Corsair RM850x RAM TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert (2 x 16 6400MHz CL40-40-40-84) GPU removed for troubleshooting I've encountered a problem with my new setup. After a few days of smooth operation, the PC suddenly displayed error code 55 and failed to boot properly. The monitor turned on but didn't show any output. I can't access the BIOS because the system stalls at the DDR stage, indicated by flickering LEDs on the motherboard. The fans spin normally but don't reach full speed. My troubleshooting steps include re-seating RAM multiple times, checking connections, reseating CPU and cooler, resetting CMOS via pin jumps, and using the flashback button to update BIOS. I've also tried booting with two keyboards. Despite these efforts, I still lack confirmation of a successful reset or BIOS update. I'm unsure what might be missing.
I haven't encountered both units at the same time, but with two sticks it's improbable they'd both fail together.
