Asus Z10PA-D8 B7 Error

[Peanuthead]

I purchased an Asus Z10PA-D8 and received a B7 error. I then called Asus tech support and they ruled that the board was bad. I purchased a second Asus Z10PA-D8 and now I am receiving a B7 error again. I then called Asus tech support again and they ruled that this board was bad. I find that highly odd but possible. I have tried two different PSUs, two different processors, and three different RAM sticks from different vendors and sizes. All processors and RAM are on the QVL. I tried using the Crashfree Bios updater but the USB doesn't initialize yet in the boot cycle. I also reset the ME and receive the same result. Anyone else have any ideas?

I have the exact same problem. I'm on my third lot of ram and my second motherboard both with the error 67 or B7. It's driving me nuts!

I'm hoping you found a solution?

Mine was due to it's really being a bad board.

So, you got a third and it worked this time?

Yes. Sad part is I decided not to use it and it sits on the shelf.
