Hello. I assembled this system around 2013 using the following components: Asus Maximus Formula VI (BIOS v1603), Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800), Desktop Memory 1.5v (CMD32GX3M4A1600C9). The timing details were 9-9-9-24 Intel XMP 1.3, Intel Core i7-4770K Quad-Core, Evga Supernova Nex750G, 80Plus Gold. The issue arose after a CMOS replacement in 2013; I had to adjust settings previously but can’t recall the exact steps. Now I receive error code 55. All four RAM sticks function and any combination works, though not when all four are installed. Currently I’m using just 16GB. Anyone know how to get all four working again? Appreciate any advice.

So, long shot as that memory kit is NOT on the QVL for that board, but try matching the timings of the below, validated RAM kit. I can't guarantee that'll work, but it might help to loosen the timings based on that. As a note, whenever you build a new rig, this is a good lesson for why you should ideally stick to the QVL. I know this is an old rig and it's in the past, and hopefully you do it now, but when you gotta do funky shit in the past and don't record what you had to do you get this sort of issue
