X99 won't post, debug code 60 - DXE Core is started

[daweakling]

Went to boot up my X99 system with a 5820K on an Gigabyte SOC Champion motherboard and found out that it isn't posting. Fan spin for about a second, it shows debug code 60, and the turns off. Looked up debug code and it is DXE Core is started. That doesn't really indicate a specific problem so I decided to start troubleshooting. Swapped out RAM, reseated the CPU and GPU and still the same situation. Would anybody have any insight on this?

Already tried that. My motherboard has a dual BIOS option and I switched it to the secondary BIOS and tired booting and the same.

I also tried booting up with all of the RAM removed to see if it would give me a NO RAM code but it still shows code 60-DXE core started. Would this indicate a bad CPU?

I'm reviving this thread because I'm having the exact same problem as you. Did you find a solution?

I follow up the necro trend with my Asus X99-E WS/USB3.1 giving me Q code 60 after work Friday. Have spent the entire weekend testing every suggestion online, and apart from testing alternative X99 CPU/MB (which I do not have), I have achieved nothing.

I did plan do do an upgrade to this 2016 rig sometime in the new year, but not in the first week..

Any way to ID if the fault is in the CPU or MBB?
