ASRock 990FX Extreme 4 Error Code 36 on Cold Boot | Tom's Hardware Forum
July 24, 2013 - I had the exact same problem, and I tried what was suggested here (clear CMOS using button on the back of the mother board) and it works great now. Also, previous when it would finally successfully POST, there was just text appearing on the screen saying to hit F2 to edit bios, etc. Now I get a nicely formatted ASRock menu screen. ... I was just experiencing an intermittent reboot hang with error 60.

Asrock 970 Extreme4 Error code 36 | Tech Support Guy
From your mobo manual, page 37, it clearly states it's a memory issue. I take it as a drain on the CPU power which is throwing up the error message as the system doesn't know how to report it any other way.

B650e Taichi lite cycling through error 36/37/38 after adding GPU.
I'm dealing with a different issue, but saw my bios cycling through sequential error codes as well..... Unless I'm mistaken, I think that it's actually showing a temperature. Is there any chance it's still using the iGPU and actually finishing the boot? I know you said it shut down, but maybe it put itself to sleep? I don't know. Sorry if this is dumb. More on reddit.com

)Tried to clean heat sink, now won't post. taichi x370 ryzen 3700x, post code 36 and b6

'I am seeing error 36 and b6, which according to the manual is a memory issue'

The manual from the AsRock x370 site says :

"01 - 54 (except 0d), 5A- 60 Problem related to memory. Please re-install the CPU and memory then clear CMOS. If the problem still exists, please install only one memory module or try using other memory modules."

and close to B6 error:

"b7 Problem related to memory. Please re-install the CPU and memory then clear CMOS. If the problem still exists, please install only one memory module or try using other memory modules."

This tells me you should clear BIOS and i would suggest a total clear, battery out. Power off after 15 sec change jumper to clear CMOS and get the battery out. Leave it for a couple of minutes and you have a fresh bios.

r/ASRock on Reddit: B650e Taichi lite cycling through error 36/37/38 after adding GPU.
January 4, 2024 -

Hello,

I've done a test run without GPU, worked fine until I added the 7900xtx, then, Dr Debug cycle through codes 36/37 (and sometimes 38 - and I've seen one 39 during writing this) for the 20 last minutes.

I've flashed the bios to the latest to day before sitting the CPU. GPU fans are not running, but TUF logo is lighted.

Only 36 & 37 are documented, with CPU SSM INIT and MEM SB INIT respectively, 38 & 39 are undocumented.

Is it really initializing for that long? I've been 20+minutes in, should it be that long?

Edit: After about 50 minutes: I've seen it briefly go up to 44, and then count down to 37. I've not seen 36 in a long time... is this "training percentage"? Why do it count down.

Edit 2: computer has shutdown by itself... is GPU broken?

October 1, 2020 -

I had bought a new Ryzen 3700x and installed it yesterday. Went perfectyl fine on my old Taichi x370, updated bios once, installed new cpu, updated bios again to the latest, easy.

I had discovered I was out of propyl alcohol so I ended up scrapping off as much of the old thermal paste and reapplying a new dallop, but there were still some old material left over. Still, everything worked fine, and I was very happy.

Today I had intended to go today to reseat everything completely cleanly, but upon doing so, I'm now having trouble getting my system to post. I am seeing error 36 and b6, which according to the manual is a memory issue, but I don't see how I'm suddenly having trouble today. I reseated everything - memory, cpu, and cmos. Still same error. Freaking out now thinking I might've inadvertedly bricked something, should've just left it be...
