First if the still have any stick of your old ram use it alone and try to boot If nothing changed shutdown your pc and unplug it, there is a bios switch on the down right edge of the motherboard next to sata ports, flip it to other side so you can use B bios instead of A bios Plug your pc and power it, see what happens If nothing goes wrong you should be able to boot to OS, but you need to use Secure Backup UEFI tool (B bios to A bios) as you should use A bios and leave B bios for backups For short steps: Shutdown PC, and remove power. Set the UEFI/BIOS select switch to the 'B' position. Apply power and start the PC. Let it boot into the OS. Restart the PC into the UEFI/BIOS. Start the Secure Backup UEFI feature, and allow it to complete. Restart the PC as prompted after Secure Backup UEFI is complete. Allow the PC to boot into the OS. Shutdown the PC, remove power. Set the UEFI/BIOS select switch to the 'A' position. Apply power and start the PC. Let it boot in the OS. Done.

r/pcmasterrace on Reddit: ASRock Z97 Extreme4 Error Code 64

June 6, 2016 -

Whenever I boot up my system, I receive an error code 64 on my motherboard. I've searched multiple places and found out it's a motherboard issue. I tried pushing the reset CMOS button and un tightening my CPU cooler a bit. Usually, I am able to solve my own problems, but I am at a loss right now. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I unplugged a bunch of shit and apparently my PSP was drawing too much power.

Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive.

I purchased the components and built this PC back in March of 2015, originally with a GIGABYTE GTX 970 and 8GB of G.SKILL Trident X Series (2x4GB). I upgraded the GPU and RAM in November of 2018 to the parts listed above, all bought used from ebay auctions but they seemed to be in good shape when I installed them. Not long after the upgrade (within a week) I started to get beeps from the motherboard on startup and occasionally a failed boot that would sort itself out in a minute or two. It never went away, so I simply avoided restarting the computer for a couple months. Yesterday, I turned it off because it was being rather slow and now I cannot reboot the PC. The mobo is displaying various error codes, including occasionally '55' and most often '36', which I've read indicates an issue with the RAM.

List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.

I've removed the RAM, moved the sticks around in different slots, tried brand new RAM, etc, and I've cleared the CMOS several times between various RAM configuration changes. Today I also removed the GPU and tried to boot but it still resolves to error code '36' before inevitably showing F2 indicating recovery procedures in process (or so I've read).

Post relevant photos of build/parts here.

N/A

Provide any additional details you wish below.

If anyone knows how to help me fix it, please offer your advice. Otherwise, I'd like to know what my options are for replacement of the motherboard without sacrificing any of the other components. Everything should be in good shape. Not counting the ebay items I recently added, I've owned everything since factory new and always been rather gentle with the PC. I've never overclocked it or run very demanding games at high resolution. I do a lot of 3D modeling and 3D printing, so it gets most of it's miles from that. I believe most of my components should be good to go if I can replace whatever is failing in the system, but a direct replacement motherboard is going for almost twice what I paid for it back in 2015 and would keep me tied to DDR3 RAM for the foreseeable future. If I could, I'd like to move my current CPU to a DDR4-capable motherboard and upgrade to DDR4 RAM while maintaining all of the other components as is. If anyone can recommend a motherboard that would be a good fit for this application please chime in. I'm pretty inexperienced and ignorant with the latest PC tech so please be gentle.

Thank you!

ASRock z97 Extreme4 Error Code 99 | Tom's Hardware Forum

May 14, 2015 - I recently just build my first computer and can boot everything up without the GPU installed, but as soon as I try to install it I will always give me a 99 error code, which should mean that there is something wrong with the PCI-e slot. I have tried multiple times to reset the GPU and make sure it's locked into place and even tried moving to different slots. The GPU evens powers up when I plug it in. My question is whether the problem is the motherboard or GPU which is a MSI GTX 970 4G card. ... My ASRock motherboard's BIOS requires that you change the location of the graphics adapter from "on board" to "PCI Express" after installing a PCI Express graphics card.

This has happened before but I got it to turn on by pressing the power on the motherboard until now. USB devices (keyboard mainly) still shows lights when plugged in. But I can't get the computer to turn on either by pushing power on my case (NZXT Phantom) or by the motherboard.. Any suggestions?
