Zenith Xtreme qcode 00

[Mrchooow]

Hey, so i have a problem i need som guidance too.

I have a threadripper system, until today it worked fine, i moved it today to a new case and after that the system wouldnt boot.

I get qcode 00 post error.

The system goes thru memory,cpu,vga and hdd load but stops after that.

This is with only one ramstick in.

Ive tried the commoen things, and when i put more ram int it, it just continues to go in endless reboot circle.

Reseated the cpu with same results.

Is it the cpu or motherboard, my insticnt tells me it is the mothaerboard because of the reboot cycle.

But qcode00 is known to be cu, but would it then go thru cpu load, when i didnt tight the cooler hard enough it stopped and told med to check cpu, so that means that the cpu is okay right?

Need Answers quick, as i live in norway and if i order the replacmentpart before 12, i get it tomorrow

Q-Code 00 usually means CPU fault. Have you checked to see if it has any physical damage (i.e. the contact pads on the bottom of the chip)?

there are some marks thre, but not any big ones, but it goes but it loads cpu and memomry and then it gets postcode 00

I assume you tried to reset CMOS?

 

As another potential side point, this may sound completely unrelated but bear with me.

 

- Are you using a mini-display port to connect your graphics card to your monitor?

 

If you have a full sized display port cable try to use that instead. If not, try to unplug/re-plug your minidisplay port cable on both ends.

 

I had some very strange boot/POSTing issues on the zenith extreme + 1950X and in the end and unbelievably the display cable was the cause.

i will go try that right now, since i changed dispaly port cables today...

So im pretty sure its the motherboard, i still have the sytem listed in the profile, and just remembered that i had taken allt gu cables to that system... 
However, i had 3 diffreent qcodes now a5, d5 and 00... 

I get different qcode after wich slot i put the ramstick in.. so this means its the motherboard right?

Perhaps as a last ditch attempt you can flash your bios to latest/previous version

tried fashback, but you think its the motherboard or the cpu?

Hard to say in the absence of another board or CPU. I would guess its the board if you don't think you've done anything to damage the CPU - simply because there are more exposed components.

 

I find it unlikely for something like this to die suddenly, so its hard to say. If for some crazy reason your new case doesn't have stand offs or something like that it may have been damaged.

 

I suppose its probably good to just check the booting outside of the case just in case its something like that, but I suppose that's unlikely.
