So i'm having this issue, system hangs on the splash screen. No post beeps coming from speaker. Unable to enter bios. Even if I try 2nd Bios same thing. Q code 92. Boot device led stays light. If I try with video card removed I get beep code for no VGA. I tried with RAM removed and get beep code for no memory. Tried all ram sticks one by one and in different slots... cleared cmos... changed cmos battery... tried with graphics card in different slot.. nothing seems to work.. any advice here would really be appreciated.

Hello DJ-UniK
In your case, I would suggest to send it in for checks and repairs
Thank you

where do I send it for repairs, it's not under warranty? I've had it for 6 years !!

That Z68 motherboard is from circa 2011-2012?

The motherboard CR2032 battery is probably dead after 5 years. Easily replaced for about $0.50.

The thermal paste on CPU might be cooked off, it's not really meant to last many years. A tube of Arctic Silver 5 costs about $10.

The PSU could be failing after 5 years, de-rated caps and stuff. It can be tested at any shop. I would cost less to replace the PSU than to replace the whole machine.

The motherboard and CPU and GPU card and DDR3 (and probably also PSU) had 3-year warranty. Worth keeping in mind even though they could still work fine.

These threads about M4EZ Q-Code 92 might help ...
