Msi Z690 motherboard debug error codes: Why do I always get debug error codes?
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/bios-debug-hex-codes-decoded.263610/ Those codes seem to be for memory, 2 of them, and CPU for the other. You may want to reseat the RAM and CPU to make sure it's not just a poor contact somewhere. Another thing to try is updating the BIOS, that would help clear any sort of data corruption issues with the BIOS itself. More on reddit.com

November 24, 2022 -

Why is that whenever I boot my pc up cold start or from sleep, my pc sometimes or always run into debug error code. My motherboard always show codes like 55, 41, 66,etc. whenever I boot up and after pressing the reset button on my case it boots up fine. Is this normal or red flag something to worry about?. Also, upon checking error 41 on the motherboard's manual, I can't find what the code means lol.

Hello,
one of my relatives have an issue with his pc with MEG X570 ACE.
The desktop was working fine, suddenly, while doing his job, the screen lost the sync with the pc and never came back.
After rebooting the desktop the debugging display showed all those codes 42, 41, 40, 39, 38, 37, 36, 35, 34, 33, 32, and more, in loop and without posting.
What happened?

July 3, 2025 - The problem is that the GODLIKE motherboard doesn’t have onboard video output it’s a high-end board that requires a dedicated GPU ... Sounds like you've covered the bases with your troubleshooting. Time to call MSI. I just RMAd my X870E Godlike today. It would only post with RAM on channel B. Channel A would cause a FF error code followed by a CPU and DDR error code.

r/MSI_Gaming on Reddit: MSI x870 tomahawk motherboard displaying lots of codes?
May 26, 2025 -

Is this normal for this motherboard to be displaying debug codes all the time? My PC doesn't seem to crash or anything so I am just confused why it's giving me these codes.

like when I am idle it gives code 54 and 55. which apparently means code 55 "memory not installed" which doesn't make any sense because my PC is running and I am on google chrome right now lol. And Code 54 means memory initialization error.

and when I am gaming its showing codes 57 and 58 which means

57- CPU mismatch

58 - CPU self test failed or possible CPU cache error?

My PC specs

CPU - AMD 9800X3D - no overclocking

Ram - DDR5 CL28 6000mhz - EXPO mode enabled

Mainboard - MSI x870 tomahawk

GPU - RTX 5090 - i have it undervolved+overclocked

Should I be worried here or is this motherboard supposed to be displaying codes like this for no reason?
