1 stick of ram
i7 3770k
2.10 bios
Nothing but onboard dvi plugged in

It was working and booting until I hit cmos reset on the back and now it freezes on 0x32. After 5 minutes it displays 0x59 and restarts. Then it freezes at 0x32

I've reseated ram, tried all my sticks. Its not the cpu because it was working fine until I hit cmos reset

Did it somehow revert to the old bios that's incompatible with ivy bridge? Or is it just dead?

i fixed it. Somehow messing with my HDMI devices corrupted the BIOS. On one of the few attempts that it actually POSTed, I decided to flash the BIOS to v2.30 and now all the problems are fixed.

0x32 CPU post-memory initialization is started

0x59 CPU micro-code is not found or micro-code update is failed


now with that 0x59 sure looks like having a unsupported bios for the chip ??

I jut don't see clearing the cmos would revert the bios revision flashed ? its not like you got dual or a back up bios on that board for it to fall back on in any way ?

I would discharge the board and pull the battery out for 2 or 5 seconds and let it clerr the cmos that way and re try ??


just milling it over how did you flash to the 2.10 bios ?? if nothing else younmay need to find a cpu that's supported under ''ALL'' bios and see if it will post on it then re flash the 2.10 ?

you leave a lot of unknowns on this and way too much for guessing around ?

I have a stinking suspicion that Windows 10 might have something to do with it.
I got the board to work, some times I can reset the board and get 0x32, then it will go to 0x20 (oem garbage) and then power off for 5 seconds, then after that there's 75% chance it will finish post.
I struggled with it for an hour after I made the post.
Its still really touchy and it will refuse to get to the logo.
All of my UEFI options on the boot menu are gone, I can only choose my drives as AHCI, and selecting my Windows drive will get me to a black screen with a blinking underscore. I left the house while I was burning a windows 10 disk to a usb stick in an attempt to recover my stupid install.
I will update once I get home and try that recovery drive.

When I bought the board, I borrowed a friend's sandy bridge cpu and did the upgrade. ASRock also sent me a bios chip containing v2.10 for free when I requested it.

heres what you do then if it was me . burn a live dvd and boot to it and see if it goes to desktop on it .. if it seems to work fine the you could point at 10 -- thing is I se all the 10 issues and I would never conceder it as of today I don't allow any Microsoft GWX updates to download or install on my 7 [no thanks ]


You can download the Linux Mint operating system for free. It comes as an ISO file
which you need to burn to a blank DVD. The liveDVD is then bootable and provides a
fully-functional operating system which you can try without affecting your PC. In
layman's terms, when you put Linux Mint on a DVD and place it into your computer, you
can try it out while leaving your current system intact.

anyway if Linux boots and runs and gets to desktop at least you got something to work with until.....


another thing is all the floks doing that usb windows install thing sure seem to get a high failure rate .. I just get the retail disk dvd copy like you get from a store /newegg.. its pretty much a goof proof legal copy - any issues or what ever from a download can cause issues or corruption from the internet or there server or just a crap file you may of got ??

I bet something was up with the chip and the old bios and you lucked out and got to where you were able to flash to a supported bios like you did
and got over that 0x59 CPU micro-code is not found or micro-code update is failed [ then if you had bios 2.10 it should of been supported under that ?? ]


anyway, good deal and enjoy
