Hey guys :D

I was checking out my ram because I had a lot of mem related BSODs, so I was pulling out my ram and checking each stick to see which one was bad. The first time I did it, I rebooted and the Q code 00 came up, did a little research and pulled everything (PCIE, and Sata) out. The Q-code went away and booted fine.

After messing with the ram and getting everything to work again, I started hooking everything back up. I got the Q-code 00 again.

Did some debugging and found out that if I had my GTX 970 in the PCIEX16_1 slot, it gives me the Q Code 00.

Here's the strange part, If I put my GTX 750 it in the slot, its fine, and If I put my GTX 970 in the PCIEX16_2 slot it also works fine. Its just when I put the GTX 970 in PCIEX16_1 slot.

Did some bench marking on the gtx 970 (in the 2nd PCI slot) to check if it was the card, and its OK. It preforms just fine.

Anyone got an idea of what this might be??

I just rma my motherboard to asus it was a asus crosshair formula z and anytime i would put anything in the top pce slot. It would error 62 on me. even if I switch to slot 2 it would still error 62 in less I used the second slot and re flashed the bios then it would work.

You could take the motherboard out and check the metal prongs there is 2 sets of them under the mother board where the pce slot is. ( They stick out a little ways), make sure they are not touching or bent onto each other. That may solve your problem if they are touching.

While the mobo is out of the case to check that pin do a out of case test and see if it still dose it.
00 error means that cpu failed for what ever reason.

I originally thought it was a short, but that doesn't explain why it works for the GTX 750 it and not the GTX 970. If there was a short wouldn't it not work at all for either?

well it could be a pad pce slot just not handling the higher W card. I could not figure out to this day why on my asus board the same video card would work in the second x16 slot but as soon as i tried the top slot it would give me a error 62 in till i re flashed the bios. and used the second slot. One other thing you could try is making sure you have the latest bios. But honestly if you cant figure it out just send it back get another one. its what i had to do. I know the codes are different from what i got. but if its working in slot 2 and not slot one your motherboard could be slowly failing. Like mine stopped working all together after running it in the second slot for a week.

Ok this is weird, I got it to work on the first slot by removing the back panel on my case, but when I do a benchmark test to stress the gpu the PC reboots and I get a "power supply surges detected during the previous power on etc. etc." I have a new power supply coming in tomorrow luckily, so I'll see if its that :p If its not that I guess I'll just return the motherboard

What could of maybe hapend is your cables may be pressing up against the back the the mobo too hard. If your running cables behind your motherboard make sure to spread em out and don't force the back of your case on.
