x570 Q-Code 02!?

[Guest]

The board is just being picky with something I think.

 

Start pulling hardware one at a time.

 

Storage drive then OS drive, swap with a different video card, cpu won't be the issue because it begins post and no error led. 

 

Something is halting post. You just have to figure out what it is.

 

Researching - 

 

Found, 

Use HDMI cable. Try different HDMI cable

Used a different monitor.

Full clear cmos, remove battery with PSU switched off for minimum of 10 minutes.

swapped video card.

Tried different memory in correct memory slots

 

These are some of the resolves I came across with a search. 

 

Only time I've seen this code was overclocking memory and bus clocks. But almost never at defaults.

 

So TLDR, the board is fine, I think either memory or Gpu related issue. When the speaker comes in, you should have a better answer.

 

Here is the Beep codes for AMI bios.

 

1 short DRAM refresh failure The programmable interrupt timer or programmable interrupt controller has probably failed
2 short Memory parity error A memory parity error has occurred in the first 64K of RAM. The RAM IC is probably bad
3 short Base 64K memory failure A memory failure has occurred in the first 64K of RAM. The RAM IC is probably bad
4 short System timer failure The system clock/timer IC has failed or there is a memory error in the first bank of memory
5 short Processor error The system CPU has failed
6 short Gate A20 failure The keyboard controller IC has failed, which is not allowing Gate A20 to switch the processor to protected mode. Replace the keyboard controller
7 short Virtual mode processor exception error The CPU has generated an exception error because of a fault in the CPU or motherboard circuitry
8 short Display memory read/write error The system video adapter is missing or defective
9 short ROM checksum error The contents of the system BIOS ROM does not match the expected checksum value. The BIOS ROM is probably defective and should be replaced
10 short CMOS shutdown register read/write error The shutdown for the CMOS has failed
11 short Cache error The L2 cache is faulty
1 long, 2 short Failure in video system An error was encountered in the video BIOS ROM, or a horizontal retrace failure has been encountered
1 long, 3 short Memory test failure A fault has been detected in memory above 64KB
1 long, 8 short Display test failure The video adapter is either missing or defective
2 short POST Failure One of the hardware testa have failed
1 long POST has passed all tests

I really appreciate all the guidance you all have been providing. Just wondering has anyone else personally experienced this and what were some of the remedies? Im all out of ideas.

I've always said this @Jcosstv, but it's really no problem at all as most of us enjoy helping.

 

Try diagnosis with a speaker as @ShrimpBrime mentioned.

 

We all sympathise with your situation , however if you can't manage to get it up and running I'd REALLY recommend taking the base parts over to a local computer store like I mentioned above.

appreciate all the details brother. ima start working on breaking it down today. ima so just as you said. remove everything except the core components (cpu. gpu. ram. and psu) and break it down from there.

 

hopefully the speaker doesn’t take too long to get in though. 

 

Again - thank you for the time

 

More to follow

Welcome. 

Hope you figure it out soon!

So I hooked up the speaker. Prior to that, I was doing some trouble shooting by disconnecting everything from the board expect the essentials (CPU w/ cooler, Ram, GPU and M2s) issues still presented its self. 

 

After hooking up the speaker - i’m getting a single beep (i’m assuming to verify it’s connected) then a few seconds later, I receive a single steady beep following three beeps. Then follows a single stead beep following 4 beeps. 

 

Using your guidance I checked the memory modules. removed and reseated swapped out for the same type of memory modules. Still received the beeps. I’m not quite sure what one beep following 4 steady mean. Any ideas? 

[Jcosstv]

I figured i’ll record the beeps.

1 long 4 short, check cpu fan and opt cpu fans. Try a different fan or unplug completely.

So update!

 

Seems as if though maybe the GPU is messed up. I purchased an extremely cheap GPU (GT 710 ... I know. ancient). Slapped it in and connected via HDMI. At first it hesitated but launched into bios and now i’m in my actual windows screen and etc. I’m going in right now to update as much as I can see if updating the software for the 3090 would help it be more stable. Also re-downloaded  the bios and i’m going to update it via the bios screen rather than flash bios. See if that helps. 

 

But it seems as if though maybe it was the GPU do you have any recommendations on updates or other things I should look at while i’m in ?

I have no suggestions at this time. It's peculiar the board throws memory errors 1 long 3 short but the video card swap did the trick???

 

I'd test the card in another system if at all possible.

Yeah the other GPU worked perfectly fine. got the One beep indicating everything booted properly and went straight to windows. Upon swapping back to the 3090, I got the 4 beeps along with no display and Q-code AA. According to what I looked up for Asus, 4 beeps indicate VGA issue. 

 

After that, I attempted to connect the GPU without the power cables in the front, with one and with both - still received 4 beeps. I guess now that I specifically know it’s the GPU, ima revisit the PSU cables and give it a shot again. Try different slots on the PSU. Along with different cables. 

 

It can’t really be the PSU right? Because if it was - the board wouldn’t get power? Sorry if it’s a dumb question. I’m coming from a ignorant place where i’m not too computer savi. 

 

Again - thank you so much. Though I might have a faulty GPU at least it eases my mind knowing what the issue is rather than ripping everything out tryna figure it out. I really appreciate the help guys.

Well if a PSU can't power the card, it'll throw an error.

 

The way you described the issue, I'm not sure on the PSU or not. Could it be under powered? Possibly. 

 

So 2 options. test a different PSU, or test the card in a different system, which will obviously have a different PSU in it. All you gotta do is display a bios image and post to windows. Must have a driver installed to verify a working card and obviously a quick test. Just because a card can post bios, doesn't mean there isn't an issue while it easily runs on minimum resources, ie no driver. edit: additionally, if the test system doesn't post, the card goes in for RMA.

 

The bummer with hardware, it takes additional hardware to test a single system. So encourage another build in your home so you have extra hardware to test with.
