Hey guys and girls,

I'm need of your collective wisdom. My pc has boot/start up problems where it would boot into windows (giving q code A0) but then immediately shut down (giving q code 00 or f6). Also my case power button does nothing unless i deplug the power and replug it back in.

However after a few attempts it stays in windows and i can do every stress test in the world and it wont crash (temps are also fine). So I'm wandering what is wrong with my pc or is this a software problem?


my pc:
windows 10
i7 7700k (no overclock)
asus strix hero motherboard z270
asus strix 1080 (slight preset overclock from asus tweak2)
m.2 ssd samsung 960pro
sata ssd kingston hyper X
ram: corsair vengence red led
cooler: H115i

With kind regards,
Tom

Do you still have the manual for that mobo? Could you check the qcode sections for the explanation of error f6? It might be storage related.

The aO simply means "all operational" as in all operation to handover tye control from mobo bios to os is done as it should.

Code 00 is not in use, F6 is "reserved for future ami progress codes". So both are not really usefull. Is there a way to check your theory that the m.2 is faulty?
