ROG Strix x570-e gaming wifi II boot issues B1 qcode

mrtacos2
Level 7

Hey All, I am having a rather random issue with my build. Ive had it for about 2 years now all purchased and had been working since oct 2022.

yesterday the 09/06/2024 I noticed that all screens were black except one which had the ROG icon and was spinning on "Preparing for Auto repair" i have not been able to get into windows yet.

I noticed the qcode on the motherboard was b1 which it still is. This pointed toward the issue being memory related or at least likely so. But i ran memtest86 and it found no issues (bootable usb). To be sure i also tried moving the dimms around and testing each stick individually as well as a stick I had from another machine i know worked. 

Issue persisted though.

Unplugged all usb devices, cleared cmos both with the pin short and the battery removal. (I did perform a minimal boot with only a keyboard plugged in and a single dimm and no other hdd's other than the os one, and a single monitor as well as the gpu.)

The strangest part is that it wont boot into a windows 11 media i created on a usb stick, I tested the media on a laptop just to be sure and it works. I also did update the BIOS, but that didnt fix the issue.

Any other Ideas would be awesome, I have not had any issues with the build since it put it together. This kind of randomly happened. I was using the machine for most of the day as well before it happened. I left for a while and came back and it was in this state.

Build as follows

ROG Strix x570-e gaming wifi II AMD AM4

AMD Ryzen 9 5900x

Corsair vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16) AMD Optimized memory - CMK32GX4M2Z4000C18

1080ti FTW3

corsair RMX1000x 80 PLUS Gold

OS Drive is a samsung 960pro nvme ssd

Hello @mrtacos2 

Thank you for your update, and I believe the error code B1 is indeed correct.
Regarding the issue mentioned in the original thread about the USB storage device not being recognized, may I ask if the OS installation drive you are using has a capacity of more than 8GB and is formatted as FAT32?
For OS installation-related details, we recommend referring to [Motherboard] How to install Windows 11? and cross-test with different USB storage devices if needed.
Meanwhile, in order to verify if the motherboard can successfully detect and boot into the system, we also advise cross-testing with other M.2 slots or using a different system drive.

Thank you.
