Mobo: No boot, No post, Error code 32 or A9.

[TheNaitsyrk]

Hiho,

 

Two days ago I tried booting the PC and I couldn't. I turned it off normally using the PC button and then after trying to turn it on again,  it wouldn't boot at all.

 

First, it had boot loop error LEDS 32, 36, and 32.

 

Then I took everything apart, but I kept the mobo in the case.

 

Reattached everything and I still had the boot loop. Then I tried resetting the CMOS with the screw driver (2pins) and the button. It didn't work.

 

I tried removing the battery as well and nothing. I have BIOS reset button but it didn't work, it just loaded the same problem A9 error.

 

I tried reseating the CPU, taking it out, reapplying thermal paste, loosening the screws on the water cooling.

 

I tried switching the BIOS on my motherboard with the little leaver. That didn't work.

 

I tried switching RAM (I have 4x 8GB) but nothing worked.

 

All fans are on, everything works but it doesn't boot. No signs of burned CPU etc. As I checked. 

 

I contacted Intel and they suggested that I send the CPU back. 

 

I unplugged all the SSDS and Hard drives in my PC but that didn't help.

 

The CPU was overclocked to 4.8Ghz at the time 1.295V and it was stable for months.

 

I'm using onboard graphics (Intel HD4600).

 

For some strange reason, I was unabe to get to the BIOS once I sold my GPU cards. I kept pressing del at startup but it never got into BIOS when the PC was actually working.

 

I tried pressing DEL F2 F5 F8 F10 F11 F12 to try to boot into BIOS while it was booting to A9 error but nothing. If I plugged in a mouse or something, it would say b4 error as far as I remember. I own K70 RGB LUX keyboard and the wireless one didn't work at all.

 

Any ideas how to try to fix this issue?

 

PC:

CPU: i7 4790k

Motherboard: GA-Z87X OC FORCE

RAM: 4 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance PRO 2400Mhz

512GB Samsung 850 SSD

120GB Kingston V300 SSD

2TB Seagrave HDD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Update!

I can see BIOS screen for 0.5 seconds, then I see underscore in the top left corner of the screen. Then the PC restarts itself. Error codes I see: A9, Ab, db.

I am not 100% sure, but overclocking may disable the iGPU

Boot loop = can't get into BIOS. 

OC didn't do boot loop.

It worked fine for months on iGPU.

Update!

I can see BIOS screen for 0.5 seconds, then I see underscore in the top left corner of the screen. Then the PC restarts itself. Error codes I see: A9, Ab, db.

 

I can also move the cursor for a very brief moment while the underscore is flashing in the corner.

huh. sounds like your CPU became unstable. I was thinking of SKY OC, which disables the iGPU, try clearing your CMOS and see if that works

Read my first post. I reset the CMOS 20 times already. iGPU WORKS because I see the Gigabyte screen with signs on it for a very very brief moment.

Huh. I cant help you beyond trying 1 ram stick, a stock cooler, no OC 1 drive and no other accessories and If that doesn't work than I cant help.

Taken from the manual, hope this helps.

Removed CMOS battery 20 times. Even if system was overclocked before, it's not any more. I have 1 stick of RAM in my PC all the time now. Other 3 are just lying on my room. I unplugged and plugged in drives whole trying to turn on PC many times. Still nothing.

Thanks but I have the instruction and I know what the codes mean. Maybe it's the processor, but Intel will investigate on few days as they agreed to replace it if it's damaged.

BIOS corrupt.

You say it's going through those post codes for the BIOS and failing on them

You certain? Would I be able to reinstall the BIOS somehow? I have two Bioses and the second one is a no go.

You could RMA the board but try use the non-corrupt BIOS.

Even though I bought it on E-Bay two years ago, they told me that I no longer have the warranty. I will call them and discuss it. The second BIOS doesn't work.
