Issue
This board has been giving me trouble since i got it in may, it's a working pc when i can get it to post and i can leave it on for hours/play games. The problem is when i start my pc it doesn't post consistently and gives me q code 00 loop, ive done everything and have read every post about this problem and most seem to have the same issue. Once again its a working pc when i can get it to post, the ram, cpu, ssds, and power supply all work it's the board that refuses to post i cant even get into the bios. ive tried loosening the cpu cooler and that seems to help but i still get the same 00 code every other day. when i can finally get it to post it hangs on code 79 for a minute then goes to A2 and gives me an F1 overclocking failed error even though i have everything set to default. when i restart after the f1 error everything is fine, but the next day or two i run into the same problem with the same 00 boot loop. This board sucks and im about to get a new board and change brands because of this bs i wake up almost every morning pissed off wondering if my computer will start that day. :mad: i honestly want a refund but i know that will never happen... Can anyone give me some hope or should i just get a new board from msi

heres some examples of what i go through almost daily

Have you tried plugging in the CPU 4 Pin power connector? It doesnt seem to be connected in the vid.

Clear your CMOS and use your system at stock defaults to see if the problem shows up.

Ive cleared the cmos many times and yes the 8 and 4 pin power connectors are plugged in

Which method did you use to update the BIOS to 1701?

badgertycoon · ‎11-15-2015

i used asus EZ flash 2 using a clean flashdrive on bios 1, bios 2 is still factory 802

badgertycoon · ‎11-15-2015

also i have all 8 fan headers connected and when the board doesnt post a few fans turn on and the cpu fan is always off

Try loosening the screws for your heatsink a little.

ive tried different tightnesses over a week to see if that would help but i get mixed results with the same 00, the problem is really weird some days it runs fine but every other day or two i get the same no post loop. i just switched to bios 2 with 0802 it seems fine for now, i will post with an update after i shut down and restart my computer a few times.

Correct.

Let us know it goes with the 0802 BIOS.

Random 00 no post
