0d Error after BIOS Update

[Reborn1606]

Hi,

 

I bought and build my first PC last week, and it didn't go well.

 

Hardware:

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D

GPU: XFX Speedster MERC 310 Black Edition Radeon RX 7900 XTX

MB: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX ATX AM5

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2x16) DDR5-5200 CL40

Crucial P5 Plus 500GB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD

Crucial P5 Plus 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD

 

 

After putting all the parts together, it would not boot with more than one RAM Stick.

If you put the second one in, it would boot up one time and after that I got a burning DRAM LED and a black screen.

 

I've sent the motherboard back and bought an ROG STRIX B650E-E to continue gaming and everything ran fine. 
Then I made the mistake of updating the BIOS and the new MB send out the Code 0d (reserved for future AMI SEC-Error-Code) while showing a black screen. Again.

I removed one RAM stick and the system booted just fine.

I put it back in and the system started up once and then continued to show 0d.

Afterward, I tried flashing back to every previous BIOS Version ROG provides, but there is no way to boot it more than once without a CMOS reset.

I tried it with different RAM sticks, but the problem was the same. I also tried replacing the brand-new battery, but that didn't help either. 

 

If anyone has any Ideas, please help.

Maybe 1 of your RAM sticks is bad?

You have tried with a completely DIFFERENT kit of RAM, and still the same problem?

It could be a faulty memory stick, or memory kit.

 

Which memory slots are you using?

It is recommended that you use slots A2 and B2 for 2x DIMMs.

 

Are you using one of the latest BIOS provided by ASUS / Gigabyte...the ones that doesn't degrade the CPU with too high SoC voltage?

I tried it with a different kit of Ram, same issue and I am using A2/B2 for trying both Sticks, and A2 for trying one. I tried all BIOS versions from 1409 to 1602  and the one I'm currently on is 1413. It's the latest one that is not a beta version and does limit the SoC Voltage.

I tried it with a different kit and got the same issue. Also, it doesn't explain why it stopped functioning after the first BIOS Update.

Did you try the CPU and GPU in a different system

did you try to downgrade BIOS to the original version?

I do not recall what version it camewith, but I tried every one Asus provides on their website for it.

Unfortunately, I don't have a second, compatible system lying around. So, no

ok.. that's unfortunatly a problem of beeing bleeding edge..  

you get system up with 1 ram stick..  let's try work from there. update to latest bios and reset bios. then turn off overclocking if it's on.. and retry with both installed. 

reduce speed, is next..  

you might have to wait for a newer BIOS version to make it stabile with 2 sticks in it too. 

 

after setting ram settings in bios, it will probably use long time training ram again, this can take up to 30 minutes with rebooting during. 

it might even be that's what it's doing when lighting up the RAM LED.. 

it should only do this once until you change ram settings in bios again. 

 

i think jays2cent has a video where it took almost an hour ramtraining after installing his x3d chip..

I am currently using the newest BIOS that isn't a beta and since I started my updates, I've been using the default settings, no OC. The 5200 RAM is currently running at 4800 because DOCP is disabled with default settings. When RAM training, the MB shows code 15 which is the right one, according to the manual, so I don't think that's what it's doing. I may be lacking in experience since this is my first built, but there has to be a better solution than having to wait for a new BIOS version, considering it was working fine in the beginning.

i would agree.. but it don't hurt to try.. turn it on.. and leave it for an hour or two.. if nothing happens.. you tried that too. have you mailed support at asus?

So it works fine for one boot if you reset the CMOS? That smells like bad board again. Getting two bad in a row puts you in the 0.001%, but I guess it can happen.

And it only went bad after a BIOS Update?

I left it overnight and was greeted by the same 0d Error in the morning.

what bios version are you on now?

 

i found a long post on that board and it bioses what settings to do etc..

I am currently back on 1413. I flashed back to 1408 and tried the steps in the first comment. Then I tried the same steps on 1410. Memory Context Restore, Power Down Enable and Fast Boot do nothing for me. I contacted the support, but they will not answer over the weekend. I'd like to try an even older version like 1222, but Asus removed the downloads for the versions with manual Vcore control.

did you try 1602?

That was the version that I updated to the very first try. The one that broke it all

you left your bios battery out for 10 min or reset it on the pins for 5 sec? 

problem with bios'es is they often have settings that don't exist in previous versions, or the previous has something the new one don't have. 

if it has.. just that can cause crash..

I just disconnected the power supply and thne took out the battery. I waited 15 minutes (while searching for the battery that fell into the case) and tried again. One successful boot and then the old no-post.

For everyone reading this in the future: It was the RAM. The other Kit I tried was from Corsair too, and I just got another pair of Amazon (Kingston Fury 2x16GB 5200).

I popped them in, and can finally start my PC without changing the RAM configuration or doing a CMOS reset.
