MAXIMUS VII hero. B2

[Spatt33]

Hi, I am constantly getting the b2 error on in initial boot, the first time I hit the power button it starts up and then sits at the b2 code with no video output in the monitor and the vga light is on, then if I hit the reset button it boots fine into windows most times, sometimes requiring multiple attempts. Does anyone have a solution
So more specs see my profile thanks in advanced

Have tried

CMOS reset
Reinstall of windows
Bios flash - oldest newest and some versions in between
Gpu bios flash
Tested all different settings in bios

I'm lost for ideas
Once it boots it runs beautifully just getting there that's the issue for me

tried removing the cards and run on-board?

What slots are your memory in? I had to swap from Red to black... still cant figure out why but had to.

Haven't tried onboard want to avoid removing the cards again if possible
Will try changing to the black Simms and see if that works

Have swapped the memory to the black slot and bingo it works no b2 hanging and it boots first time thanks so much

it's a great board and love the features but this one is just lame.

Well glad you got it running!
