Hello,

I've been running my M7G with an 4790K since last August with no problems until this morning. On startup all i get is the 00 code. All I can find are post for a new setup or changes regarding this code. The only thing I have changed is i updated the BIOS to 2013 a few weeks ago. I've tried the standard stuff, removing all other hardware, using different ram, different PSU, I tried clearing the CMOS, using the ROG Connect to reflash the BIOS, changing LN2 setting; nothing seems to work! everything appears to power on, but nothing happens. Right now all that is connected is one stick of a Mushkin Blackline 8GB kit that I pulled out of another computer I know works.

Does anyone have any ideas before I start an RMA process? Its our main house computer thats got my wifes school work on it :eek: Thanks!

Hello hh60fe and welcome

Code 00 is a tough one to pinpoint because your manual states code 00 is not used.

Since you tried another psu and your pc was working, I will suspect it's your motherboard.

Were you overclocking the cpu?

Thanks for replying! I had a very mild OC only to 4.2 on default voltages with the XMP profile, as I was waiting on a better radiator. About the only thing I haven't done is check for beep codes( not sure if it even has them to be honest) as I don't have a speaker to hook it up to. Any thoughts based on that? Thanks again.

You're welcome

Since you didn't raise the voltage I will suspect your motherboard, get it on it's way for an rma immediately.

No problem, when you get your new board, come back here and let us know if you have a working pc.

My vii hero is posting a 00 code when windows is running; I thought that was normal, no problems as far as I can tell, should I be worried ?
What value is normal when os is loaded and running ?

I've seen this a time or two and I'm not sure what causes it but your board should be showing AO when in normal operation.

You could try a bios update and see if you can get it to stay at AO.
