Well following the manual tells me that it could have something to do with either your CPU or RAM.

from what i can dig out this is that it means:

00: check if cpu is seated properly and then clear cmos

15: memory error. reinstall cpu and memory then clear cmos

30: memory error. reinstall cpu and memory then clear cmos

4C: i dont know xd

what to do: reseat everything, make sure everything is plugged in properly, try using only one stick(try both),

Thanks for a quick revert guys!

 

My PC was working fine for more than a year and this happened suddenly. Can a CPU move by itself or could I have a dead CPU on my hands?

try reseating your cpu. if that doesnt work, try again and again. after like 3 times than your cpu is probably dead

Hey guys! Thanks again for your response from the other day!

 

I was able to debug my PC and realized that all the components except for a couple of RAM slots are working fine. I have now installed the RAM sticks in slots A1 A2 since B1 B2 are triggering the error codes I mentioned previously. My question is: is it possible for two slots to fail like this or do they just need some thorough cleaning? I am afraid I can't get it RMAed since we are still in a lockdown due to COVID.

 

Any thoughts you could share would be highly appreciated.
