Bios Freezing

[Nebulis]

My system started to blue screen in Windows... I ram memetest86 and found errors. Before I sent the RAM in I stated to get this ghosting in the BIOS and while in the BIOS it would freeze about 10 seconds after entering.

I RMA'ed my RAM with Corsair. With new RAM I still had the same issue. That led me to believe it was either the motherboard or the CPU. I sent my board into ASUS and they said the bios was out of date..... I assume they updated it. They didn't say specifically if they did. Upon getting the board back I had the same issue but this time I would only occasionally be able to get into the BIOS. When I am unable to get into the BIOS I get A9 q-code. When I get into the BIOS it still freezes within 10 seconds or so.

Do I have a bad motherboard that ASUS did not fix or is my CPU bad?

 

CPU was overclocked to 4.2GHz. Voltage was 1.4275 I think

Try manually updating your bios as you can't 100% be sure they did or the one they did update it with is actually no good.

Go to this website: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-X99-GAMING/HelpDesk_BIOS/

This should be the exact bios update you need for your mobo but just google search your specific mobo and add "bios update" to the end of your search to guarantee you get the right one.

 

You can also go to this article: https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/1572-how-to-flash-bios-on-asus-board

This has a tutorial video and explanation on how to update your bios. Do this and come back to let me know if this works or not

I already did this when I got the board back and still had issues. 

 

I updated to 1903 via bios flashback since I could not reliably get into the bios. Issue still persists.
