Your motherboard manual has the qcodes in it, read those and list out what they represent here

What was the last thing you did before you started having those codes?

Ok without looking up codes, unhook power, clear your cmos, try it. If it fails reseat all power connections, RAM, PCI E cards, etc.

Still fails, pull your cpu out and check socket for bent pins.

Have trried all above , really confused

Asus has a Live chat you can refer to as well

Last thing i did was reset my memory timings cause of instability in windows. After that change it refuses to boot after 2 days og troubleshooting.

 

[eidairaman1]

Reseat system ram.

Set factory bios defaults, save and restart. Then attempt to set XMP.

If i only could get into bios. Thats the problem it just hangs , bo screen og bios acces at all
