Hi anyone else had this problem , every time i try to boot it gets stuck at code 62 . no matter how i try , clearing cmos, reset , pulling out the power , it still hangs at 62 . Sometimes it shuts down for a second after i switch it on . sometimes it doesnt . getting tethered lol
 
What BIOS are you on?

Try removing the PCI graphics card to see if it will boot to the onboard graphics. If it does maybe update to the latest official BIOS?
 
Hi F14 I think i remember right , TBH iv had issues all the time , but usually just unpluging the power for a few seconds does the job , but no more since i came in this afternoon .
Yeah iv had this issue before thats when i updated to f14 at the time was current dont know what is now , but it still had issues , just though at that stage i learnt to just unplug it would do the trick .
Iv got the card out now so i could get the bios battery out , just coming upto an hour now , Something else to note , iv got 3 screens and it posts the bios page on a different screen , also The keyboard does not respond .
Not sure now iv got this far , shall i try your way first , cause iv waited an hour try with the card , if that fails again without .
Also to note iv been running two 680"s with there msi factory overclock , as well the i7 2700k has been running at 4.5 ghz since i got the board , all on a 750 watt 2 rail i think antec PSU approx 2 years old , could this be weakening at this age and have a bearing ,.

thanks guys , for the record error code 62 means in the book " Instillation of the PCH runtime services " what ever that means .
Its working now after clearing the Bios thank god , dont know how long for , will investigate the bios update and what that code means now , until i get it sorted then its a pain not knowing if it will ever go on again , without stripping the card out and waiting an hour every time .
 
Ross, is this the X79 UD-5 Rev1.0?

If so I have this board, and have had issues, similar to what you have mentioned. The old powering up, non-responsive keyboard. I also have 3 screens.

However, I seem to have solved my issues. What I realized is that after some extensive tests I found a had a faulty RAM chip.

I am also using BIOS F12, and this so far seems to be stable and sold for me.

Its the Z77 revision 1.0 I would assume , since I got it the day they were released from here with the free cooler .
It could be a common fault , I come across this when researching the problem , unfortunately I dont have spare ram to swap and test . What sort of tests did you run ?
In my case when I first had the issue some time ago, not using a graphics card got it going , with an empty PCI slot . What this article suggests is that its a common problem , something to do with shared bandwith or something beyond me , but it does make sense , might be relevant to you

Thanks for that blog, it is a similar thing to what I was having.
My issues were:
1. Latency every 2 seconds or so, I think this was caused by the PCI slots.
2. BSODs, these were happening randomly and would occur between 10-30mins of booting.
3. Random restarts.
4. No POST (Press power buttons, hear the fans spin up for 10 seconds and then off again).

I seem to have rectified all of these issues now, and I must say my system seems really solid now.

What I did is wipe all drives, (I didn't have any info on them anyway). I then disconnected all the drives apart from the one I would use for OS.

I also made sure I was only using SATA3 or 2 connections from the intel chipset and not the marvall ones bellow on the motherboard.

I then removed my WiFi card from one of the PCI express x1 slots and seated it in the other PCI express x1 slot.

I also removed my GPU from the PCI_x16_1 slot and seated it into the PCI_x8. (I think this gives it a lower priority and thus allows other PCI cards to have more priority - My thinking is this fixed my latency issues).

I then removed all RAM, and reseated.

Once all together I then cleared the CMOS.

I then booted MemTest86 from a USB2.0 port on the front header and let it run for 5 hours, this showed 64,000 errors in the first 10 minuets. The errors would always manifest in the pass of 52-58GB.

I ran the tests a few more times, just for 30 mins, but each time it would pull nearly identical amounts of errors each time at the same point of pass.

I then removed all ram, and tested 1 module across all the slots to check if the motherboard was faulty. This passed fine.

Afterwards I then went one by one with each of the 8 sticks of RAM until I got to one which created errors. I then tested this stick in each slot and it pulled errors everytime.

I then went back and checked the slots on the motherboard again with another stick just to make sure the board was ok.

Afterwards I then took 4 sticks and placed them in the correct channel arrangement and tested it in both a 2 and 4 stick configuration, again it passed.

So this allowed me to single out the single RAM module that was causing a majority of the issues.

I have now sent this module as well as the other 3 modules that came with it back to OCUK and should get a new replacement pack back soon.

I hope the above is some use to you, I know we are using different socket types but there does seem to be a trend.

But like I said, my system is up and running and its been flawless thus far. I will be sticking geekbench on it tonight and leaving it to run for 3-4 days on a stress test to make sure no issues come up. If it passes that, I will be confident that I can use it with no issues.

All the best!
