r/buildapc on Reddit: Debug Code 15 on New Build (MSI)
November 8, 2022 -

Hello all, I just completed a new build with the following specs:

CPU: AMD 7950x

MOBO: MSI x670e MEG ACE

RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 64gb (4x16gb) 6000mhz

GPU: 3090 FE

PSU: Corsair AX1600i

Boot drive is a 1tb Kingston KC3000 m.2; there are several other m2 drives and SATA drives also present

Initial boot was lengthy as anticipated, about 1 minute. However, every time I boot (or try to wake from sleep) I get debug code 15, it hangs on this code for about 30 seconds, then reboots and then boots normally. Overall the PC is working fine, but I've been trying to find a solution to this with no luck. I updated to the most recent BIOS 7D69v125(Beta version) with no change. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Code 15 and Power Cycle before boot

Do NOT update Bios if MSI motherboard :: Hardware and Operating Systems
0x0129 is the newest Intel code so we'll see how long it takes MSi to include that in an update. I'll be waiting until after the 0129 update is out for a bit before I flash anything. M.S.I. has some motherboards with the relevant 0x129 (not 0x0129) microcode out already. More on steamcommunity.com

April 30, 2023 - Click to expand... I have that ACE board. Code 15 is the RAM training. You'll get that on early every boot. My board, paired with my 7950X and a kit of semi-tuned F5-6400J3239G16GX2 RAM tends to take around 20-30 seconds to re-train per boot. There are options to try to reuse last boot's memory ...

Do NOT update Bios if MSI motherboard :: Hardware and Operating Systems
August 10, 2024 - MSI just released a new BIOS for motherboards over this 14900K Intel fiasco. Do NOT install it, you will not be able to change any BIOS setting and will be stuck with DDR at 4800mhz speeds and unable to change XMP profile or any setting in BIOS.
