I have a problem with the crosshair v formula z motherboard,
as soon as windows start to boot it Shows a bluescreen.

i looked at the q-code, it says "F.F." looked at google,
realisied that it doesn´t recognize the cpu...

asus crosshair v formula z
amd phenom ii x6 1055t
asus gtx 660 ti
gskill ares 16gb
xilence modular series 1000w

Motherboard RMA is with the retailer you bought it from.

OP .. You can always count on replies from HiViz .. any of the Mods/SuperMods and Admins as
being accurate [ok, rare exhaustion/pre coffee failures] .. and as suggested above, is the way to go. RMA.

However .. quick question .. if the cpu did not respond how could you of 'flashed back' to 225 ???
Not that that was the correct thing to do .. and why I called out to the 'Powers that Be' ...
For me this is all about 'my' learning all that I can ... just curious.
[This generally require loading the bios on a fat32 formatted thumbDrive .. ]

the error was always during the windows 7 boot ...
however, i think it wasn´t a problem with the cpu, cause i tried my harddrive in another system and the same mistake.
it stops at classpnp.sys, i tried to install windows new but it wants the sata drivers?!?!

I Had this same problem yesterday. (Q-Code Error F.F. - CPU Red LED problem)

My Config:

Asus RoG Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ (lastest BIOS)
AMD FX6100 3.3 @ 4.1Ghz
2x4GB DD3 1600Mhz G1 Skill - RipjawsX (9-9-9-24)
2 SATAII HDD Samsung Spinpoint F3
1 SATAII CD/DVD RW LG.
Sapphire RadeonHD 6870 1GB
PSU OCZ ModXtream 500W 80 plus Bronze.

With that config, my PC was working fine! no crashes, no BSOD, nothing wrong. for a few Months!
O got this problem when i decided to CrossfireX with 2 Sapphire 6870 (Twins).
First of all, i tested the new Sapphire in single mode. Running Battlefield 3 OK for 20 min.
So, with all hardware working fine. a decided to assembly my CrossfireX.
The only thing I thought that could go wrong, it would be the PSU couldn't handle it. But that would only shut down. That did not happen. The PC powered UP!


I got back to my initial config, same problem (one GPU).
i tested a new PSU, same problem.
I've Remove the Bios Battery, nothing.
I've remove one Dram Module, testing one by one, nothing
I've tested my Processor in another Board, Working Fine!
I've remove those 2 Dram modules, (expecting that code changed), same FF code.
I've removed BIOS and put it again, nothing.
I updated the BIOS using the ROG connect port, Successfuly, but still nothing.

Doing a web search, I found some people with this same problem. The interesting thing is what happened with motherboards from various manufacturers, for both AMD and Intel.

It is obvious by the fact that all manufacturers have such Code FF, it's probably a bug (kernel panic) in the BIOS (UEFI) by the fact tha even the board doesn't know what is it. corrupting the Motherboard Startup.

Solution? RMA to Manufacture to get a New One!

If your out of options try just replacing your BIOs chip. I had this problem and once i replaced the chip it worked fine!!!
