Hey everyone, just finished setting up my build and started it up for the first time. My motherboard keeps showing a memory test issue. How long does this testing usually last? My Zenith Extreme builds with an AMD Threadripper and 128GB RAM are running this test. Cheers!

It seems you're asking about a status check, but the context isn't clear. Could you provide more details or clarify your question?

It seems there was an issue with the RAM configuration. I removed all the RAM modules and tested with a single stick. Now it passes the boot process but encounters a GPU error code 94, then attempts to load VGA BIOS. There appears to be a problem. I plan to remove the GPU to determine if that resolves the issue.

I disassembled the water loop and swapped out the GPU riser cable, which worked. I believe I also have some faulty RAM sticks left.

During installation, I frequently encounter the "Load VGA BIOS" warning messages. Odd.

This seems to indicate a problem with the MOBO memory, possibly missing one or two channels.

Absolutely, the MOBO is in place.

Have you attempted to reinstall the CPU? Slightly modified the pressure? It seems this issue is typical for HEDT CPUs.

You're correct, I didn't attempt that. I understand your capabilities now.
