Hi, this is my first ASUS motherboard and I'm really in problem.

My system config:

CPU 1800X
Memory Brand G.SKILL, Series Ripjaws V Series, Model F4-3000C15D-32GVR
psu EVGA SuperNOVA GQ PSU 850W,
cooling system EK Water Blocks EK-KIT S240,
NVMe SSD 960 evo,
Sapphire rx480.


After several attempts the system would not start so reading varius post on net,
I removed the central rubber of black plate (ekwb).
Pc started. While running I installed os win 10 and all the drivers and encountered no problems,
rebooting many times and all ok. The day after I restarded the system but recived several times q-code 8 and doesn't boot.
Removed rtc battery updated bios to 1002, pc started, win 10 started updating os, on reboot system halted.
After that on power on appear Q-Code 46 and not booting. After several attempts I'm going noway.
This is my first asus mobo I never experienced so many problems. Can you help me.
(Sorry for terrible english)

thanks 😮

My first build too and I'm having this issue after zero issues over two days.

You said you removed the cell battery on the motherboard and it fixed it? I tried the same and did CMOS and didn't work still.
Am on BIOS 0804 now (what it shipped with), trying other BIOSes without cell battery.
