Q code 62 with Maximus VIII Formula Board

[Shayle]

So Ive had a hell of a time with setting up a new computer over the last few weeks. First, my old cpu died so I built a new system. My first system was on a Maximus XI Hero board. But after problems with Dimm slot A1 and A2 causing q code 55, I found that this is a huge problem with the board. I sent that back and got instead a Maximus VIII Formula board. I have an Intel i7-7700k LGA1151 unlocked pocessor, a Geforce 1080 graphics card (It works, checked it in 2 other systems, runs fine), 4 x 16gb DDR4 Corsair Vengeance memory (Again I know the memory works, used it in the last system fine, other than A1 and A2 slots, but all 4 worked in the B1 B2 slots).

What could be causing this error? Everything Ive read says something about a skylake cpu.... No idea what that means. And the q code means nothing to me. Help please!


Btw, I just flashed the bios to the newest available using the bios flash button and a usb stick. Still same code.

When flashed the BIOS, how long did it take?

Not 100% sure, I went to bed and left it overnight. When I tried it this morning, it proceeded until q code 70, froze there for 10 sec, then rebooted. Now it wont stop rebooting every 5-10 sec. *sigh*

So... Sorry guys. After my last response, I tried resetting the Cmos and it works. My bad for posting before trying that! Anyway, seems like Asus has a problem sending their boards that are supposed to be compatible with I7-7700 chips out without the right bios.... Think they would fix that lol. Had to flash the bios, then reset the Cmos, and whalla, works! Thanks for trying to help!
