Hello all,
I just built my pc with the ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO DDR3 2800 LGA 1150 and when it first attempts to boot up it flashes q code 18 and then powers off and will automatically try to boot again.. and again..etc.
I've scoured the web and can't find any reference to q code 18 other than in the manual. Not sure where to start but I've moved the ram in various slots, disconnected the GPU, checked the processor and the cooling attachment. I'm just needing some help!
