CH7 - QCODE 8 when starting a game

Hi all,

As mentioned above, the PC freezes with QCODE 8 whenever I start a game or any software which utilises the GPU (like DxO Photolab). Re-seated the RAM and checked all connections, and ran memtest overnight with no errors. What could be the problem?

It possible the 8 error is normally either the motherboard itself or the cpu. Your testings at this stage suggest the board itself.

Download latest BIOS version(even if you already have it), use USB-Flashback method to update. Set PCI-E 16_1 @GEN3.
Check again.
Had that issue a while back when on an older bios version in combination with my RAM settings at the time.

Tried that, still no luck.
