Q code 40 HELP

[Tony_M]

Hi folks I'm having a strange issue here.
I have an issue where every time I power up my PC it doesn't turn on on the first boot ever! (well maybe 1/50 literally) but it always works perfectly fine when I hit the reboot button 100% of the time.
Normally my Qcode says AA so I know it's not always saying 40. So i messed around with it trying to get 40 to come up in different ways but it only comes up when the screen goes black and I'm about to hit the reboot button.
If I wait and do nothing after a minute or 2 the computer reboots itself and everything is fine. BTW the system doesn't ever make it to a point where it looks like windows is loading.
Also I am 100% certain the code says 40 not anything else.
I am overclocked on CPU and Memory

running ASUS crosshair V forumla-Z
AMD FX 6350 (slightly overclocked to 4.0 gh)
Radeon HD 7750
G. Skill trident X (overclocked to 2400 it is rated for it)
800 watt psu

Also the problem started a few months after all the overclocking. I guess that's a good place to start, tell me what you think.

Hi Tony M and Welcome to ROG. Qcode AA is always a sight for sore eyes.

Qcode 40 is not to my knowledge documented so can't help there.

I recommend you clear your CMOS and start again or go back to a previous save since your current OC .
What changes you made in Bios is superfluous and may be contributing to the problem.
Don't make any arbitrary changes in Bios till you know the consequence.
What Bios version are you on?

I was on some old bios so i cleared CMOS and updated to the latest bios ver 2201 and it's still happening

Running windows 8.1 here and I've heard of tjhis sleep/hibernate issue before. My system is set to never sleep or hibernate tho. What kind of stability issues are going on with that and can anyone point me in the right direction for that?

Also just to be clear I've never had hibernation or sleep enabled. I always tweak power settings right away when using a new OS.

Codes 30 and 40 are shown waking from various sleep states 😉

Maybe instability waking from sleep/hibernation

Hello

This. ^^ Q-Code 40 is resuming from the S4 Hybrid state. Sort out the instability issue and this will be fixed.
