Hello,
 
After many hours of troubleshooting I found that there is a problem with using the corsair dominator platinum DDR4 2666 PC4 2130 with the stinger z170. I am not overclocking. No changes to cpu or mem settings.  
 
I am on the latest bios update 1.4
Same BSOD errors on win 10 and win 7
Memory tests fine and runs fine on my Asus z170 plus with i5-6600k
z170 stinger works fine with other memory. 
 
Any suggestions I can change in the bios or will another bios release be needed? 
 
thanks!
 

I tried both. Same problems. 

I have referred this thread to EVGA

Hello bancho99,
 
I am sorry to hear that you are having these issues with that set of memory.  I will go ahead and forward this to our Product Management team for review. 

What exact memory kit is this?  Do you have the part number?
In general most RAM should work but if you are having issues I need to know if it is on the supported list, if it is then we have a problem, if not, then I will work with the motherboard team.  Historically almost every motherboard BIOS update adds more memory support regardless of other fixes.
 
Let us know and we will help to get you up and running, also subbing this thread.

You only think that, CORSAIR build different memories under same name.
I made mistake, I should be prosecutor or lawyer...
Believe me on court everything would be on side of customer, because CORSAIR sell two different products, with two different performance from two different manufacturer under same serial number and motherboard manufacturer test only one and customer couldn't know what will get if order online, maybe compatible, maybe not compatible... That's not allowed. I should be prosecutor...he he...
If gentlemen from CORSAIR could explain how customer could know during online payment what will get with same serial number, QVL or not QVL for his motherboard they could pass without penalty, if not PENALTY!  Because in past several years they didn't change policy situation is clear. Only IT customers long time ago put self donkey ears on head and don't want to move them, they want beat if someone want to remove donkey ears from their head. Off course this is joke, but I didn't tell you nothing wrong, people daily show up on court for similar things and situation is clear. Off course no one is so crazy to sue someone because memory, that's abnormal thinking, but that fact give manufacturer chance to sell different products under serial number. On CORSAIR site you will not find after serial number Hynix or Samsung. And ASUS test only one of them, for other they are not responsible.
Human kind plan to such things show up on court not to someone earn money on such politic.
If they build new serial number customer can without problem to search online seller who sell memory with modules QVL for his motherboard and choose memory for self without problem. If not that's not shopping, that's gamble. 
Example
CMD16GX4M4A2666C15  Ver 5.29 is Hynix
CMD16GX4M4A2666C15  Ver 4.13 is Samsung 
Only one of them is MAYBE tested and MAYBE compatible. Don't even to go further and deeper in explanation that one have better performance, better overclocking, etc and cost same. Only to concentrate and most important COMPATIBILITY. Customer now way to see Version number before destroy fabric sealed label. That's EVIL. And I think on every court situation would be clear or I have even more explanation... 
Misleading customers with intent to achieve profit, etc...and that change everything on court.
 
 

Like DaveB explain memory compatibility and QVL list is today very important.
Many people don't want to pay attention on that or simply look only manufacturer or model of series.
Even better is if after confirmation that memory is on QVL list customer ask some owner who have similar memory and he confirm that no problems.
You really have no luck Z170 Stinger support many Dominator Platinum 2666 kits, even 4x4GB C15 (my kit).
It's weird how don't want to support at all 2x8GB because that's best combination. I would choose 2x8GB.
Special because support sa 4x8GB absolutely same kit as yours. That practically mean if you install 2 more modules she will work.
Really weird situation. 2x8GB C15 not support 4x8GB C15 is QVL and support. 
Except if everything is like I sad and EVGA tested example 4x8GB Hynix and you tried 2x8GB Samsung. Or opposite.
That's what I explain that it's not hard after serial number to write A and B.
But someone probably estimate if customers don't know profit will be bigger and decide to misleading people and hide marks.

Let us know if it works. I'm sure more people will want the same information.

Leaving the memory at 2133 and setting the power and timing manually has increased stability. I am not having random BSOD any longer. But it is not without issues. I now am getting reference memory errors once every day or 2. A reboot resolves the issue. The system is stable enough for use for now until the memory gets added to the QVL.
 
Thanks,
 

Check the memory voltage as well.

I am having error 55 on the mobo with 2 sticks of ballistix sport ddr4- 2400mhz-16-16-16-39 1.2V
I take one stick out and the system boots, any sugestions?
