Hi, I have issue with my PC. Somtimes while POST it stuck on code q95, and no logo appears. I have to restart it, and when booting Windows sucsessfully it will work for a minute or two and then just freeze. Code shows AA. but it still freezed. I tried remove 3 of 4 Memory modules, use different memory module, use different memory slots, and it still not solving problem.

Asus Strix 980
Corsair AX1200i

Firstly is the memory on the QVL list?
Is it overclocked at all including XMP?
freezing is almost always memory related.

Bios just updated, no overclock at all. Memory on the QVL list, and it was there for 3 years.

Has the CPU ever been overclocked?

I was experiencing random freezing recently. I tried all kinds of troubleshooting, RAM, nvme, RAID arrays etc.

I was on the verge of buying a new motherboard and did a quick check with a cheap Xeon E5-2620 V3 CPU. Machine went back to 100% stable. Conclusion, failing CPU.

Intel did a warranty replacement. Good job I had never overclocked it ...
