M6E code 00 issue

[whyscotty]

Morning all.

Just swapped out a 4770K to a 4790K

Running optimized settings at the mo with 2 x 4gb sticks of ram

All going swell, just a slight hiccup I hope.

If I restart or use the onboard reset button - code 00 appears instantly

Google foo is failing me.

In windows everything is fine - just the restart code 00 is a pain.

PC starts no probs, even after powering down with the code 00

Over to you mobo wizards

So you get code 00, it shuts down and then works again; correct? This is a very typical thing to happen. I believe it's due to RAM training and it has also been said to be an ASUS trait.

My ASRock Z97 OCF does the same thing.

No, I have to shut it down.

But yes, starts no problem.

Noticing it alot as installing updates - so 00 is happening at every restart.

Fans ramp up to max - really confusing

It's doing my head in

Hello there mate,

Here is what I would do. In bios set all to defaults. Make a copy of your OC profile and save it to a USB stick. Now download a new version of your bios that you use. There is no need to update BIOS if you are happy with what you have been using. What I think may have happened is that you have a bit of corrupted code either in your bios of in the firmware.

Clear the CMOS of your board once you have made a copy of the bios profile.

Now flash using the USB flashback method. You should be familiar with it by now I am sure if not post here.


Let your system go through the entire process. I suspect the first time you power on your system will update the firmeware of your board.

Post back how it goes.


You could also quickly see if you have the same issue with bios b?

Can I use flashback with the cpu installed?

00 flashes on my QLEDs turning off and at startup....

If it stays on 00 then you have a problem

All sorted - stupid Intel management

Outstanding to hear that it was nothing serious.
