1. if i shut down the pc and start it again, pc keep fail too boot and q code 55 show up
restart pc no affect. pc can restart normally. only when shut down and want to turn it on again q code 55 come out
when q code 55 and screen blank i force shut down by pressing power button. ater that show notify about instabillity and must entering bios
but can boot after that.

2. ram at slot A2 sometimes just not detected by motherboard (system only read 16gb) and ram at slot A2 cant sync rgb at armoury crate
3. cant tuning case fan speed via fanxpert4, at z690 hero i can tune fan speed there. at z790 hero fan just run max speed all whole time
4. also sometimes got usb error at device manager - set address fail. this also happen at z690 hero

what i do until now:
1. reseat cpu, reseat cpu cooler. reseat ram. try to change position between ram - problem still persist
2. downgrade bios version from 0816 into 0813 (same problem). i try to donwgrade into 0703 but cant, because ez flash file cant read
wehen board first come bios ver was 0703. but after installing windows i just update me and bios ver. soo dont know 0703 have same issue or not.
3. if xmp off, after shut down pc can boot normaly

Hello, AwenMilano.

1. and 2.
Code 55 may be a memory error. >> https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1043948/
May I ask if you have tried to cross-test different memories in slot A2?
Does the situation you describe also happen? Is it still the same if you only install 1 memory to A2?
3. What is the current version of Fan Xpert 4?
Please refer to the link below to try to uninstall and reinstall to confirm whether the problem exists. >> https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1034000/
4. Regarding the USB error message, please try to uninstall the USB driver and scan for hardware changes, or disable the fast start-up option, to confirm whether the problem can be eliminated.

Meanwhile, please share the requested information below for us to better understand your scenario.
- the BIOS version and content of the setting in BIOS (or whether it is the default)
- the OS version and OS build

Thank you.

Hi AwenMilano, 

I think that i have the same issue like you for the Q CODE 55. 

Sometimes i shut down the PC, and turn it on, the Q code 55 appear, the screen black. And i force the shut down by pressing the power button, and reboot. The show me this image (image 1) and entre in bios. And i do nothing in bios just reboot. No more issue.20230514_170300.jpg
