Hi All,

Just built a new rig (first one in 10 years so I'm learning lots again) as follows:
  • Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC V2 LHR 12GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card
  • Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero (LGA 1700) DDR5 ATX Motherboard
  • 1 X Corsair RMx Series RM1000x 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
  • 1 X Intel Core i9-13900K (Raptor Lake) Socket LGA1700 Processor
  • 1 X Corsair Vengeance EXPO 64GB (2X32GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C40 5600MHz Dual Channel Kit
  • 1 X Arctic Liquid Freezer II High Performance CPU Water Cooler

Have started it up and all lights / fans / AIO all seem to be working fine but getting no display on monitor (monitor works fine as have old PC running on it now).

Qcode on MB says 00 - manual states this means "Not Used" but quick internet search indicates problems - before I take everything apart any insights from those more experienced than I would be most welcome!

Thanks and happy Friday!

Thanks for quick response - I have tried HDMI and DP on Graphics Card (and yes fans / lights are going on card) and HDMI on MoBo (DPI cable I know works as am using that now on old PC).

Could be the HDMI cable which is an old Sky one so can try that ... any reason why DP shouldn't work though?
 
Ok - I updated BIOS just now using the flash tool - nice and easy as you suggested. Alas no luck - still getting 00.

Next step I can try removing everything / all connections other than one stick of RAM and CPU .... but I am beginning to wonder if the RAM compatibility might be a simple solution here (common things happen commonly after all - like using the wrong part) ...

Looking on ASUS link I don't think the RAM I have is listed: https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-maximus/rog-maximus-z790-hero-model/helpdesk_qvl_memory/

Then again some articles do indicate they EXPO should still work on this board ...

AMD EXPO DDR5 Memory Compatible with Intel Motherboards: MSI Z690 & B660

New AMD EXPO DDR5 Memory is now compatible with Intel motherboards, benefiting both Intel XMP and AMD AM5 chipset boards. Several manufacturers, including

Ok - still no luck... so far I have:
  • Updated BIOS
  • Cleared CMOS and changed battery
  • Removed all components and case connections except CPU / x1 RAM stick (and tried RAM in all four slots)
  • Checked CPU (it was in right)
So to me (and I hope I'm wrong) I have three things left to to try:
  • Try to boot up board outside of case to ensure no issues with case (Be Quiet Sound Base)
  • Exclude RAM as issue (alas I dion't have any other sticks to try that would work)
  • I have a dead CPU (in reality how often does that happen though - this things is brand new - and I don't have a second one to try)
Am I missing anything / any other ideas?

Going to pub for lunch to drown my sorrows ... :-)

Ok - firstly thanks to all for thoughts and recomendations - much appreciated.

OcUK have confirmed RAM is not comaptable so will RMA - will report back when I have this sorted (in case this thread also helps someone else).
 
OK ... got some new RAM sticks as follows:

CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 Black 64GB (2x32GB) 5600MHz Memory​

CMK64GX5M2B5600C40

Still getting Qcode 53 - tried with 2 sticks in DIMM_A2 B2 and one stick in A2 ...

What should I try next?
 
Hi All,

I'm please to report that everything is now up and running - not sure what I did but after a few more attempts the new memory seems to have done the job. Running on one stick right now but writing top you from new Rig. Will insert second one later this evening ...

More tweaks to get everything fine tuned in the coming days but Asus Q code 00 solved (power connections to MoBo) and Code 53 (I think down to EXPO RAM not working for initial first start at least - XML seems to be fine and was matched pretty closely to Asus QVL list).

Thanks again for all the help and suiggestions.

OK guys - sorry for slow response - been travelling for work.

To question on Boot time - strikes me as not fast - as in around 30 secs ... but once shes up and running this rig is great (for Adobe Lightroom / Photoshop which is my primary use).
