I have just tried to post the board for the first time and am getting a cycling series of numbers on the post code readout. They are going really really fast but I have tried to write them down in the order they appear as best I can.

C
EF
02
09
04
19
b0

This series just loops over and over again and nothing happens. Is it a defective board or is something else wrong.
 
EDIT: I have tried resetting the CMOS and taking all but 1 of my RAM sticks out and when I try and start it with only one in I get the post code FF. The RAM I am using is compatible and not sure what else to try.

A list of your computer components would help. CPU, MB, RAM, PSU, etc.

Sorry bit flustered as I don't want / have the funds to go out and buy another board if this one is dead.

I've just noticed that my CPU has a rated max RAM MHz of 2400 and the RAM I have is 2666MHz could it be this causing the error? From my knowledge the RAM speed would just be downscaled to the max speed of the CPU is this wrong?

With the Power On...Press and Hold the Small Red Button on the MB and Hold for 5-6 Seconds to clear and reset the Bios.

Maybe BIOS update for the i7 6850k? I know the X99 motherboards need BIOS 2.01 to run the BDW-E CPUs.

I have just tried that with both the little red buttons on the motherboard and nothing happened I held it for 5-6 seconds and then it just kept cycling. Should I try with all the RAM in or just one module.

How would I do this? I am currently unable to even post the system.

What is your Ram Full Model Number?

I would think the OP has 2.1 as 2.2 is now out and 2.1 came out May 27 2016 I would doubt that the OP has Bios R103.
