Hey all first off merry Christmas and hope you all have a great day..
just built a new system on a loop.
ASUs z790-e
13900k
asus 3080
64gb corsair ram.
samsung 980 pro m.2
seasonic 1300 psu

was working great uptill last night, installing armoury crate, restarted machine.
got q codes, and won’t get past bios post.

with monitor plugged into gpu I get d6 code.
Remove gpu and use mobo I get 98 Code.
also get a2 code.

have reflashed bios and reset it.

my suspicion is cpu issue, but im not going to rule out mobo.

have tried my old 1080ti in the same slot and also in another slot. Same d6 code.

going to drain the loop later and reseat ram, but up until the armoury crate install it has been fine for a week..

any ideas would be great, I’m just annoyed that it’s happened after a programme install..

thanks all..

Don't install junk, format and start again if you have tried safe mode and recovery options, doubt there's anything wrong with the hardware if it was working up till you installed that.

I can not get it to go into bios, let alone read the usb windows install drive.

How did you do the reset? Might need doing again / the battery pulled for longer.

The battery was removed and the rear button used to reset. Will try the battery for a bit longer, did the power button on just in case there was anything lurking in the psu.

once again thanks for the replies..

Had this happen with armoury crate before. Not sure what caused the issue but only fix for me was to reformat the drive using another pc. Do you have another pc you could plug your m.2 in and then format the drive once logged in?

Yep… exactly what I had to do, secure erase the nvme and reinstall… I blame windows 11

First ssd and now memory. The codes your seeing are relating to gpu, boot drive and memory. Too many things on a new build to be each componant. I think it could be a motherboard fault :(

Yeah, did wonder that myself, I just can’t test the ram individually as it’s the way the water cooling runs
 
So back to square 1, small issues of games crashing, running memtest and into 700 errors almost instantly.
so..
motherboard going back under warranty now,
Do I need to get Corsair to check the ram ?
is it worth using a 12th gen clamping frame?

why oh why is building a pc such a hassle nowdays…. Aarrgghhhhhhhhh

It was just as bad when PCs become mainstream. You had to set jumpers to configure the system or add drivers yourself. Self builds can go wrong at any time and your left to diagnose it yourself.

This is why you pay a little less with self builds.

Been building since… oh god.. erm my cpu had a separate cache stick of 256kb
in all seriousness I have stripped it out,
refitted the cpu,
refitted the ram
its on an arctic 7 cooler,
and NO ERRORS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3 minutes now..
only thing I did “check” was the screws on the clamp, I know they should be like just over finger tight, but one seemed a little loose.

will check back in when it has completed its full run…

cheers for the replies guys, suffering with covid badly so your replying cheered me a bit..
 
So after playing with it for too long,
its unstable as hell.
random game crashes.
random bsod,
all in one way or another ”memory related”
this is the most unreliable system I have ever built in my life.
another dead set of ram? Although it passes memtest.
motherboard issues?
cpu memory controller issue,
Also errors on prime 95..

rma mobo and cpu next?
give up?
no ideas now.

If it passes memtest it isn't a dead set of ram.

Can you confirm if you have updated the bios and reset bios to default settings?

Latest bios, has been reset to default, no xmp applied.
playing rust yesterday and the game crashed out,
I did find a post where someone advised upping the memory controller voltage slightly, so have done this.
I have 4 bsod that “point” in someway to memory issue. I have a 1tb 980 pro as boot drive, it is updated to latest firmware, I know the 2tb has issues that need the update.
have been through the entire system all drivers are up to date, all power correctly connected.
btw thanks for the replies, kinda helping my sanity with this.
 
so
latest.

decided to send motherboard back to get checked over, rebuilt an older i7 7700k system, on windows 10
used the same case, gpu and psu.
installed all drivers,
checked device manager, all ok
twice today bsod
system_thread_exception_not_handled nvlddmkm.sys
system_service_exception ntoskrnl.exe

so im looking more towards gpu, its an asus 3080

any opinions welcome
