Hello,
I'm having some troubles with my MAXMIUS VI Hero Mainboard.
When I'm trying to start my PC (configuration a little bit lower in this post), it won't show me anything on my screen (neither if it's connected via HDMI from the motherboard itself or DVI/HDMI from the GPU). Nothing like a boot screen, no UEFI or anything.
It shows me error Q-Codes like A2 or B4, which should mean something like my hard drives (one SSD and a HDD, right in this order, so the SSD is first and the HDD is second) aren't working or connected. But this cannot be true. I tried both switching the boot order and choosing other SATA cables, but it still shows me nothing. Everything should be correctly connected.
The Boot Device LED is showing up when I try to start the PC, but the HDD LED shows me that it is even writing/reading from the HDDs and hear them working.
They all are connected via SATAIII cables.
I don't know why my system isn't showing me anything at all, not only why the hard drive error message is appearing.
Oh yeah and I also already updated the BIOS Firmware, and that did work, so ~
Here is my system configuration:
Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K
CPU Fan: Alpenfoehn Brocken II (with one WingBoost 2)
Power Supply: be quiet! L7 730W
HDD1: Kingston HyperX3 120GB SSD (SATAIII)
HDD2: Western Digital HDD 3.0TB (SATAIII)
GPU: ASUS Radeon R9 290X
OD: Pioneer Blu-Ray Device (I actually don't remember the model name, sorry 😕 )
Memory: Corsair 16GB DDR3-1600MhZ RAM (it is also in the Supporting-List for the mainboard)
I don't know why it isn't working at all, does somebody know an answer to my problem maybe? I would be very thankful for that 🙂
Thank you all and enjoy the rest of the day
