KFA2 GTX 780 no post

KFA2 GTX 780 no post (Solved)

Hi all, looking for some advice, this morning on cold boot my PC would not post, had this initially when l first installed the GTX 780 into the PC, however it seemed to settle after a bit, had the card now for a week and this occured.

Spec of PC is:

i7 3770k @ Stock.
32gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3
Asus V Gene.
GTX 780 KFA2.
Superflower 1300w gold.
Latest Mobo Bios.
All drivers upto date.

Now ths system has run fine since l fixed the cold boot issue l had on Sunday, however this morning the no post was back.

I have reset the bios via the bios reset switch on the back of the computer.
Removed all the RAM sticks and fitted one by one still no joy.

Now this was done this morning before heading to work, however the board is also showing a 62 in the error LED, so could be the cpu.......

Just looking for ideas, as will be stripping out the GTX and removing all peripherals to narrow down the fault.

Will also fit GTX 780 to secondary rig to help out.

Regards

C.

Error code 62: Installation of the PCH Runtime Services

According to the ROG forums, 8 Pack, back in 2011, provided the following advise:

That Q code is in memory training mate. Have you got MRC fast boot enabled?? I would disable this.

Make sure XMP is setting Vdimm to 1.65v.

Not sure how relevant it would be to your DIMS, but have you attempted a BIOS update at all?

Cheers fella, aye Mobo has the latest bios, will have a play later as at work, however unable to get into bios atm, so will have to strip down to get it to post at a guess.

Does it work if you take the GPU back out?

Try a different PCI slot, just in case it is faulty

This worked on Sunday will try this after work.

Will give this a bash also, however the R9 290 worked fine in the upper slot, will be ideally trying to run off iGPU intially just to get into post.

Forgot to mention the VGA LED is lit on the motherboard also so it maybe a b2 fault code and not a 62 fault code lol, will post back when l get home.

Quick update, looks like it was a B2 error not a 62 error, removed the GTX and still no boot, so wiggled the msata mount and got some life, have moved the boot drive to a msata caddy and binned my 128gb msata, refitted the GTX and is back to normal boot and display. So for the moment will mark this up as solved

Now back to work

Na dude, it was the onboard mSATA adaptor for the motherboard, also doubles up with a wifi card if you fit one, the msata to Sata adapter was housing a 128gb msata drive, so fitted my boot 256gb drive into that.

The motherboard mSATA is a unique design on the Asus V Gene, and to be fair l should have know better as it has caused a few issues in the past, will be monitoring the system tho for the next few days to see if the cold boot arises again.

I am using a StarTech.com 2.5-Inch SATA to Mini SATA SSD Adapter which works great.
