Post Debugging

[itainted]

Hi guys, i had this issue for a long time already so i decided to ask.

 

My PC post debug always boot up to A0 which i know is normal but sometimes it boot up to either 04 or D4 (cant tell which). Tried restarting the PC and it goes back to A0 but if i leave it on overnight, it will sometimes remain the same or changes to 04/D4. Would really like to know if it will cause a big problem to my rig or its nothing much to worry about. 

 

System I'm running is as followed:

 

MSI Z87 Mpower Max - i5 4690k

Intel SSD 730 series 240GB

MSI GTX 960 4GB

Crucial Ballistix 2x4GB DDR3 1866mhz kit

Seasonic X series 1050w 80+ gold

 

O.C using onboard O.C Genie button.

msi manual points to power error on South Bridge or a fault with the PCI lanes.
this could be cause by a number off things.

 

First try loading defaults in the bios and updating to lastest bios

try disabling hibernation in windows.
try removing any extra pci cards or usb devices that are not required.

try new psu

Code is 04 happens when a system which has C1 or C1E power state enabled has been allowed to sleep or hibernate.

 

Its caused by having USB 3 devices connected while the systems enters the C State. According to the article I'm reading its an error caused by Intel's Microcode and nothing MSI have done.

Still happens when i turn off OC. I don't put any thing else other than the given specs.

I see, but what does C1 or C1E power state enabled means? The power settings on my pc is set to never turn off or enter sleep mode. I only turn off my monitor since my bed is nearby.

C1 power state is a low power state that's used to keep the CPU alive during sleep and hibernation.

 

Honestly the 04 code is considered normal behaviour after sleep/hibernation and will cause no negative side effects. Just ignore it.
