Crosshair v formula z boots into bios but freezes on save 0d q-code

A while back I posted https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?71819-Crosshair-V-Formula-Z-random-freeze-with-AA-Q-Code where my system was locking up continually. It was resolved until recently where I was experiencing problems with this random freeze again, which could have happened anywhere without notice.

I was advised to update my bios, after utilising AI Suite II to flash the bios from the asus website for Windows 10 64 bit when I boot I get sent straight to the bios. Upon trying to save anything, the system locks up with 0d q-code. This board is really not that old no more than 6 months if that. I can't even boot into Windows because it still wants me to input settings in the bios. Clicking exit without saving just throws me back into the bios.

I've tried removing everything down to the bare essentials. Including one stick of ram in channel 1 (tried with both sticks and no change). I'm completely baffled as to why I now can't even boot.

Even Tho it seems the bios is not set, have you tried to clear the cmos? Put mem back in first. Not sure what 0d is but d-0 is cpu initialization failure

i have the 0d before, but only when i would try to run GOP FAST BOOT by disabling the CSM. It will then boot right to 0d without entering BIOS or POSTing. try to clear CMOS as suggested, works for me.

My bios reset after the batter died on the Mobo, but I got random freezes as well and realized the RAM options were incorrect by default. Go into Advanced\North Bridge\memory configuration\ECC mode\disabled of course that will be specific as you whether or not you have ECC memory but i feel most gamers aren't using error correcting code memory. Hope this helps! I did have to adjust my power options to extreme and disable power saving functions with my corsair PSU to make the system stable.
