Maximus Hero VII display on Q-Led code 00

[PavilionGT]

Hi I've being having this issues for ages were my system would be running just fine but the q-led code would display 00 constantly the only time where it wouldn't would be at boot at and when I'm in the bios. I've change motherboard, ram, cpu and hard drives just to try and fix this issue but it always the same regardless of what I try, so I contacted each manufacturer and asked if this was maybe an issue with the CPU since the error code indicates that the CPU in not in use and from what I was told it should not be the CPU fault since it works fine without any issues, so after countless attempts I nailed it down to it being a hard drive issue so what I did I bought a new SSD and did a fresh install of Windows 10 and is seemed to run well because it was finally displaying the Q-led code A0 with indicates that the system is running fine, but then after installing all the updates and starting up the Asus AI Suite 3 and running the fan tune up option it went back to the 00 code and the only way to fix it was to uninstall the whole suite and restart the system and then it would go back to A0. So please If anyone has an idea of what could be causing this issue please let me know.


Thanks.
Bye.

AI Suite is JUNK! It causes more unknown problems, to those who install it, than anything else...

I learned this on Overclock.net when I was just learning...

Fair warning, to anyone else who reads this post...

DO NOT INSTALL AI SUITE!

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not using the 5 way optimization at all in my system all the overclocks are done manually be me in the BIOS and I have reset the BIOS several times just to ensure that there is no trace of any modification from the AI Suite left after I've uninstalled it so there is no 5 way optimization in my system at all. Just my normal overclock that's it.


Thanks.

Sounds like you're better off w/o Al Suite and fan control software altogether.

Why not control the fan profiles in the bios?

[PavilionGT]

Thanks for the reply. I can but I'm not that experienced and I notice that after using the QFan Tunning feature in the BIOS is relatively the same as the Fan Xpert but I would know how to set the fans in the BIOS to where that's why I preferred the Fan Xpert to do it because it did it really well.


Thanks.
Bye.

Your situation may be different than mine, but i have gotten the 00 code on my hero vi (z87) mobo with both a 4770k and 4790k cpu and for me it was a voltage stability issue every time. The problem always went away after upping the voltage in some manner. Usually the additional turbo mode cpu core voltage.
Id think that my computer was running stable, but then id restart it, or start it up the next day and get 00 upon startup.
I upped the voltage to 1.3, problem went way. So i continued to do "real-world stress testing" , graphic intensive gaming, multimedia multitasking, etc, and would continue to lower the voltage by .5v upon every restart until i found the lowest stable voltage at my current overclock.
Every time the voltage was too low, id get that dreaded 00.

Your issue may be different than mine, but i figured id share what helped me get rid of the problem. I still have Asus Suite installed, but i only use it for fan tuning now. I used to do some tweaking through the software, but now i do my tuning in the bios. Ive had it installed since i built this rig a year ago and only had a problem once that required me to reinstall it.. For some reason it stopped reading information from the sensor probes and stopped showing fan rpms, so i reinstalled and everything has been fine since. But i have heard others say they prefer not to use it.
I know the Asus suite on the Vi differs slightly from the vii.
