To those who use Asus Z97 boards, I would like to know if your debug LED always ends up showing 40 in windows every first time power on like mine does. Mine goes back to A0 after a restart. My board is an Asus Z97 Pro.

My Z87 shows 30. I also have the A0 after reboot. I have a Z87 Pro.

If you're stable and have taken the time to look up that code, odds are you're fine. My code 30 is a resume from sleep, 40 is from poweroff.

The simple explanation on post 3 of the thread in the below link explains it pretty clearly.
