Hello! Quickly before I describe the issue my specs are below:

Motherboard - Asus B650E-E wifi

CPU - Ryzen 7 7800 X3D

GPU - Asus Rog Strix 4080 Super OC 16g

Ram - G Skill Trident Z5 Neo 64gb DDR5

The issue I am experiencing is long boot times but before it boots, I am receiving error code 15 on my mother board’s error code indicator. I have tried reseating the ram, tested another set of ram from Corsair, updated my bios and cleared the CMOS. I am not sure why my computer is taking so long to post. If someone can help me with a solution would be much appreciated!

Hi all! I have just gotten the b650e-e and can't get past this error code. I got past it before through bios flashback but now since booting again I cannot get past it. I have reinserted everything and tried to reinstall the flashback but nothing.

I have been through everything and simply cannot find a solution.

PLEASE HELP!!

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

When I first booted the computer windows was on the install screen and it said "your computer needs to be repaired" I did not get a chance to record the code.

After that it would not boot at all. I tried booting with the graphic card removed, but found out that doesn't work unless your processor has on board video built in.

I also tried booting with a bios usb, still nothing.

It gives error code 15, the manual calls this "dr. debug" under 15 it says: PEI_CAR_NB_INIT

also gives 5c but the manual says nothing about this

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

I've tried re seating the GFX card and processor and hitting the reset switches. I have also replaced the motherboard, I just got the new one today, does the same thing. It also gives the same error code with the video card removed.

Hello,

I recently got my new components to upgrade my old system which was originally built in 2012 with Intel Ivy bridge.

New components: Asus Crosshair VIII Hero Dark, 5900X and T-Force XTREEM AERG 3600Mhz CL14 32GB.

After installing the components I am greeted by a Q CODE 15 and the Q LED shinning yellow / orange on the DRAM. I have tested the ram at a friends older Intel 8700k system and it was just fine. Booted right up and showed no signs of being bad.

I have since then tried basically everything from clearing CMOS to running outside the case, only 8-pin and 24-pin power plugged in. Running without the CPU cooler inside the case and outside the case, checked for overtightened screws, loose screws, potential shorting, tried both ram stick one at a time in all the slots. I have also updated the bios twice to 3003 bios.

One time I got a Q CODE 00 after I held the clear CMOS for over 10 seconds, but I assume it was frozen or something since it didn't react to the power button and I had to switch off the PSU entirely.

I can't think of anything else to check now. I would need a completely different system to check motherboard and CPU. I've spent more than 8 hours trying to figure this out...

I am out of ideas and quite frustrated. Do anyone of you have any suggestions to what I can do or have experienced this yourself and solved it?

Anything is appreciated! Thank you very much!

Very late update: Board was defective. After some years with the Dark Hero now, I can confirm this error was due to the board being incapable of training the ram. Would suspect poor traces or faulty SoC voltage supply with either too high/low voltage or a very very poor signal (data eye). Which in turn meant the UMC on the CCX was unable to train the memory.
