Are these error codes on my Asrock Extreme 4 Gen 3 normal?

Akagi · 2 May 2012 at 11:25

When i start up my computer i get the error code b2 and one other (cant remember exactly what the other one is) display on the POST test display on the board (each one for a brief moment one after the other) and then they go and the system starts normally (without any error beeps etc)

Is this normal? is this just part of the POST test process? or is the motherboard displaying these because there are errors? I would have thought that the system boot would halt if i actually had these errors.

Thoughts?

i think it's normal tbh, my board scrolls through a slew of numbers but always boots up just fine

The display will count up through the codes as the board goes through the POST process.

It's only really an error code if the process halts for some reason and then you can see which stage it got to before encountering a problem.

What they said, when i switch on the board go's through the post check, if an error was found the error will stay lit up.
you notice once in windows they will be no light coming from mb.

ok thanks

... also just a side question (might start another thread if i dont get a response) but is it possible for a chip on a circuit board to catch light and kinda flare up, but then somehow still work absolutely fine after?
