I see you're trying to redeem yourself from posting in the thread I helped a member with, saying I have 9000+ posts and don't know what I'm talking about doesn't say a whole lot about your character as iamacows problem was a bad cpu. As you can probably tell with 9000 posts I spend a lot of time here on the forum and actually do some reading and I guarantee you I know more about these boards than you because of it.

I'm not here to start a war but I would like to point a few things out. When you post in someones thread to ridicule rather than post helpful/useful information, you won't gain any respect here.

Code 00 is not only caused by a bad cpu or motherboard but since iamacow posted detailed information about his problem and did some testing it was easy for me to see where the problem was, obviously you don't have a clue as much as you'd like to think.

It's not just one particular thing that can cause code 00 and can be tough to narrow down because the motherboard manual states code 00 is not used.

Code 00 can also be caused by:

1) a short somewhere
2) bent cpu socket pins
3) a faulty psu
4) dead cpu
5) a faulty motherboard
6) incompatible cpu
7) 8-pin cpu power cable not connected
😎 corrupted bios

There may be more things that cause code 00 but that's all I can think of off hand, if you have anything to add to the list besides a bios update that causes code 00 please feel free to add it.

The next time you come in someones thread how about posting some useful information instead of ridiculing someone that actually helps.

Have a great day 🙂
