Hello All,
first - thanks for any help and sorry for my english.
I fight now for some time with the board.
First my Hardware:
Motherboard: Asus Maximus IV Extreme
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-3570K (FC-LGA4, "Ivy Bridge")
P-Cooling: Enermax ETS-T40-TB
RAM: Corsair DIMM 8 GB DDR3-1866 Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9, Vengeance)
SSD: SSD 256GB 410/420 Agility4 SA3 OCZ (With the OS)
HDD: Western Digital WD10EZEX 1 TB (SATA 600, WD Blue)
Graphiccard: Zotac GeForce GTX 570 AMP! 1280MB GDDR5 (ZT-50202-10P)
Power: 600W Enermax
After I bought the new components (all except G-Card and Power) and build it in - the problems starts.
The first thing I always got a processor error (Beep-Code) and (Code 55), due the old bios.
After flashing the BIOS 2 via ROG-USB to the newest version, the Beep-Code was gone. Only Error 55 was still there.
After eternal back and forth, I couldnt find a fault.
Therefore, I have left the computer in the technical support of the reseller.
There they found 2 bent pins on the mainboard and a defective RAM.
They have aimed the Pins and replaced the RAM - and say it works.
-----------
Yesterday I started the Computer the first time after the technical support to install an OS.
The Computer startet with one beep and I go into the bios to set the boot priority.
That worked and I could install the OS (Windows 7 64 bit).
At the first restart at the installing, he have a problem, he shuts down, but cant come back.
He has repeatedly tried to start, goes out shortly and try again
I turned it off completly and start new. Now I was able to complete the installation.
----------------
When installing the drivers (motherboard), I install the AI Suite and he want to restart.
He goes to restart and told me he could not find any Datadrives, but 1 Second later he starts to Windows.
I shut him down, goes into the BIOS and take a look at the Settings, everything was fine.
I checked the SATA-Plug-Ins and swap and control them.
After this, i want to start again and now Freeze at Code 10 - nothing more.
---------------------
I then tried everything, clean out all the hardware again and built in.
Clear the CMOS via jumper and via Battery
Try to start it only with Processor - Freeze at Code 10
I tried to flash the bios again via the USB ROG, but this he does not longer.
Or it is not possible to re-flash the same version on it?
But Bios 1 I cant flash too.
I have the file on a stick, renamed it correctly, put it into the ROG Port, Press the Button for 5 Seconds an the ROG-Button starts to blink, but the BIOS LED was still not blinking.
--------------------------
So that was now my story.
Maybe someone of you have a idea for this.
I have no more idea, after 10 years the first problem i cant fix 😕
