Hello everybody!
I built a new computer:
- ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO
- Samsung SSD SM951-NVMe Series 512GB
- Intel Core i7-6700K
- Kingston HyperX DDR4 2666 CL15, 4x8GB
- Enermax Digifanless 550W ATX 2.4
- Old LG Monitor M2762D
I celebrated the installation, did it carefully and as I do this every 2-3 years I should be a little bit experienced.
At the first switch-on: Nothing. Only a very short impulse let the CPU-cooler rotate for a second. After check with my old power-supply (also Enermax) I was sure: The power supply is faulty, because everything was physically running: CPU cooler, 3 system coolers, hard disk. I sent the new Enermax back.
Afterwards I started everything, this time with monitor and everything else, because I wanted to step into the BIOS. But the monitor remained black. "No signal" it signaled.
Looking deeper to the mainboard: The Q code freezes at code 32 (sometimes at 3b). The Q-Led´s are not burning which should signal that all devices are ok. The hard disk Led is not on (don´t know if that has an impact at that early state of system start).
I did every alternative installation to see if there is something faulty, specially with the SM951 SSD - i tried with/without - no impact, i tryd with another conventional hard disk (which i tested on another computer). The result was always the same: 32 (3b).
For me it seems most probably that the CPU is the reason.
Just one add. info: When i searched for Qcode 32 I found "
http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?41970-Maximus-VI-Impact-Q-Code-30-31-amp-32-No-bios-screen", but unfortunately the thread is without answer or solution. However, therefor i added my monitor to the listing, its a PC/TV hybrid. (Still).
I really don´t know what should now be the next
right step.
Dear everbody, maybe you can help me!
