Hello everyone,
I really need some help here. I am building a computer from scratch for the first time and have been having issues. This is the second Formula-Z that I have tried (I RMA'd the last one due to the same issues). When I power on, the system starts going through q-codes testing everything and it sometimes ends up on error 66 with the boot device LED on or (especially if I used the Mem OK button) it passes 66 and gets stuck at 99 (Super I/O Initialization) with the boot device LED on. For a while it would get to "AE" (Legacy Boot event), but it has not been there for the last few restart attempts. Nothing appears on screen and I cannot enter bios. My monitor detects no signal.
Things I have tried (either on this board or the last one, same model):
Playing musical chairs with the RAM.
Playing musical chairs with only one stick of RAM.
Resetting the CMOS via button.
Resetting the CMOS via removing the battery.
Re-seating the video card.
Switching to a known working video card.
Using the Mem OK button.
Checking all of my power cords (4 pin, 8 pin, 24 pin, molex, and 2x8pins for video card).
Sinking into a dark depression because I'm not allowed to have nice things.
Accusing ASUS of heresy.
My components:
Corsair 750D Case with 8 fans
AMD FX 9590
Noctua NH D-15
16 gigs (2x8) of Crucial Ballistix 1866 DDR3 RAM
XFX R9 Fury (air cooled) (I have also tried an Nvidia EVGA gtx 750ti SC)
WD Velociraptor, 1TB
LG Bluray drive
Seasonic 1200Watt Platinum
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z, bios looks to be version 2101 (last 4 digits on sticker) I have never been able to get into the bios.
I really need some advice. If you count the RMA time, I have probably been dealing with this for 3 weeks to a month. Please help!
Thanks,
Imperial Guardsman
P.S. Happy New Year!
