Hi everyone,
Sorry for replying after so long, but i finally got my motherboard last week...
I installed it and everything is working fine now, i'm even running Windows 10 64-bit smoothly on it...
The problem that the PC kept shutting down is that there were indeed a few bent pins around the edges that i missed, but the problem why the board kept hanging at the 9C Q-Code is still a mystery...
I do not know if ASUS could have fixed it or not but they sent me a new board which is nice...
I do wish to know why the motherboard was hanging on the 9C code though...
On the overall, my PC is running very smooth with nothing to complain =D
I however found a issue with the motherboard, i also had this issue of the previous board, that when i'm using the motherboard too long, let's say 4 days without a restart and i restart it, that the system won't post, you don't even hear the "beep" from the speaker connected to the system panel...
I found a workaround for this however, i just turn my PSU off and wait till all lights die out, and turn my power back on, then my BIOS completes his post correctly...
I think it might have something to do with the fastboot but i didn't have much time to debug that...
Anyways,
Thanks everyone for the help.
It has been an honor 😃
Have a fine day further and happy gaming everyone,
Sincerely,
Neo
