Asus mobo stuck at Q Code A9, no display | Tom's Hardware Forum
March 13, 2016 - using after market cooler make sure it not crushing the cpu chip. got it to work! had to remove my gpu, thank you so much for your help! I had the same issue, and removed gpu, which subsequently fixed the issue. Does this mean I have a faulty gpu, or do I merely need to configure in the bios?

r/ASUSROG on Reddit: Asus ROG X570 showing code A9 even after removing and turning on with and without HDD, booted with single ram stick and even reset bios settings
January 9, 2024 -
So before all this started my pc was working fine decided to turn up my ram MHZ and then my pc started turning off and on tried flashing bios by using the button on the back but no dice I decided to turn off unplug the pc and take out CMOS battery and it reset my bios setting returned it to factory settingsand it started working again fixed one but another pops out its A9 I automatically boot into bios every time I took out the gpu and tried to see if anything was wrong nothing everything is clean I moved around my ram and the code still pops up and I removed my hdd and it still popped with A9 code. I don’t have another set up to try the pieces individually.
I have run out of solutions from searching google and don’t know what else to try except to remove CMOS battery and see if that works Specs: Cpu: RYZEN 9th Gen 5950x Ram: T force 32x2 64GB 3600MHz GPU: aorus Geforce rtx 3080 Ti Motherboard: ROG Strix X570-E gaming

That code means Start of Setup (according to some other posts about it), meaning the system is entering BIOS setup, which is what it's supposed to do when factory reset. From there, install your OS drive and make sure your Bios is showing the drive installed and in the boot order you'd expect. You should be able to boot into your OS install once that's all done.

When you're in bios, set your boot device to USB (windows installation disk) also check to see if your bios is reading that you have some sort of hard (m.2). If no OS is installed or no hard drive is detected, it usually boot into bios.

So I think I fixed the problem. Bottom line is i believe it was a faulty SSD. I purchased new SSD and did clean OS install to it, with HDD disconnected and it works just perfectly fine.

March 6, 2024 - Q-Code is A9. I'm connected via the boards HDMI port, seems it doesn't like it. <- The other topic clued me in Input a 7850 GPU I have, connected via DVI and shows Bios Screen OK. So yeah this topic is solved, found the 'fix', the default/initial Bios of the Maximus VIII Gene Z170 board won't output via HDMI.

July 29, 2024 - Is it hanging on these codes? A0 (IDE initialisation is started) is the normal boot code for my Maximus XI Hero. A9 (Start of Setup). My initial advice would be to replace the CMOS Battery as it sounds like it might be loosing the BIOS information???

So I have a asus Maximus viii hero motherboard and when I got on today it sent me to bios with the error code a9. Everything in the pc seems to be on and it boots to bios but I can’t do anything else. Everything I saw online either didn’t help or I don’t know how to do. Are there any simple solutions to fixing this problem?

Re: Motherboard error code A9 - Republic of Gamers Forum - 1088551
April 9, 2025 - Hi A9 indicates that the system has entered the UEFI/BIOS. Check you display output connections. If using a discrete GPU, ensure the display output is connected to the graphics card and not the iGPU connection on the motherboard I/O panel.

I just put it all together, lights up great. but I have no video out put from any of my hdmi. code says A9 which is set
It is possible to update the USB on an ASUS motherboard even without video output. If you can, try downloading the latest BIOS from the ASUS website onto a USB drive and follow the instructions in the manual. It will guide you through the process.
