Hi everyone!
Today I received an older PC from a friend of mine. I picked it up, he showed me that the PC was working and then I took it with me in the car. When I arrived home, I connected it to a monitor but it didn't display anything. The motherboard displayed a Qcode 0d. When I start the PC, it starts with Qcode 3f and quickly switches to 0d, where it stays.
Relevant software and hardware I am using: Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero (WiFi) Video card: Geforce GTX 1660 ti armor 6g oc Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700x eight-core processor Hard drive: Samsung ssd 860 qvo 1tb RAM: Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 16GB (1x) Power supply: Corsair RM750x
I have already found and tried some things on the internet. The conclusion was that it often was either the RAM or the motherboard. What I have tried:
-
Putting the RAM in other slots. When I received it, it was in slot B1 and it worked there. I tried the three other slots.
-
Trying my own PC's RAM in the slots.
-
Trying my own PC's dual RAMs in slots A1-B1 & A2-B2.
Conclusion -> the RAM is not broken.
-
Verified that no cables were loose or pins were bent. This was not the case except for the pins of the USB 3.0 ports of the case. Without these, the PC should still start, right?
Conclusion -> all cables are properly connected, the graphics card and power supply both work in my PC.
-
Verified that my CPU is compatible with the motherboard -> it is stated on the Asus website that this is the case.
-
Verified that my RAM is compatible with the motherboard -> this was not stated on the Asus website as far as I could see.
-
Flashed the bios using a USB stick, reset the CMOS and used the reset button on the motherboard.
My conclusion so far is that it is either the combination of the RAM and the motherboard or the motherboard is defective. The strange thing is that it still worked at my friend's place. Could it be that something went wrong in the car or did I do something very stupid when I connected it?
Are there any other solutions? How can I verify that this is indeed the correct conclusion and what would be the logical next step? Buying a new motherboard?
I'm curious about your thoughts.
Best regards,

Hi just want to put this out there for people who google this in the future. If you are attempting to use the restart function on your ASUS motherboard, but it codes to q-code od, a memory issue code, is is probably Armoury Crate causing the issue. This seems to be an issue on other ASUS mobos.
To solve this, you need to cleanly uninstall Armoury Crate. Follow the steps here: https://rog.asus.com/articles/guides/how-to-cleanly-uninstall-and-reinstall-armoury-crate/
Some other people seem to have had this issue: https://rog-forum.asus.com/t5/gaming-motherboards/armory-crate-causing-0d-error-on-restart/td-p/1033392
I was having this issue and it removing instantly fixed my issues.
