Awesome

Glad to hear you got your system up and running!]]> Fri, 15 Aug 2025 16:40:25 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198744&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198744 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198740&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198740 Author: melchizedek

Yihuu!! I replaced the CPU and my computer boots. Thank you both to posting replies, they helped me very much to diagnose and fix the issue here in Costa Rica.

I hear you, the only CPU issues I ever had were popping them by overclocking too
aggressively and bent pins. Since AM4 and Coffee Lake however I have seen a lot
of failed CPUs here on the forums. It seems the memory controllers are a serious
weak point. This issue isn't related to the IMC though so that's something at least. ]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2025 03:10:07 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198585&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198585 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198581&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198581 Author: Th3Cap3

Yeah, after all my testing I figured you were right, have to say though, in the 26 years I've been building computers, this is the first time I've ever had a CPU issue. I guess it was about that time :facepalm: LOL]]> Tue, 29 Jul 2025 23:26:45 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198581&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198581 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198580&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198580 Author: Xaltar

Damn, pretty much what I was expecting, thanks for the update. Let us know how
the warranty claim goes ]]> Tue, 29 Jul 2025 21:38:25 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198580&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198580 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198579&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198579 Author: Th3Cap3

I filed a warranty claim with AMD yesterday and ordered a new 9950x3d from Amazon yesterday as well so I have something in the meantime (no idea how long the RMA process will take). I'll upgrade the wifes computer to the 9950x3d with the RMA'd CPU when/if it comes back under warranty.

Also as part of my testing (did this last night JUST in case), but my wife is running the exact same setup as me minus she has a 7900x CPU. Slaped my 9950x3d in her machine (that was previously running fine with the 3.30 BIOS) and it gave me the same error, double 00.

I hate to say it but it may be worth trying an RMA on the CPU, for both of you.
As far as I know AMD have been very helpful regarding RMAs of the 9000X3D series
given the compatibility issues with ASRock's boards. I am not certain but from what
I have figured out it seems AMD provided specs to ASRock that were unsafe and while
other brands took a less aggressive tack in their default BIOS configuration, ASRock
opted for performance, pushing the CPUs to the upper edge of the spec AMD provided.
As it turned out, not all Ryzen 9kX3D CPUs could handle it. Again, purely speculation
on my part but it does fit the narrative and explain why AMD didn't point the
finger at ASRock on this issue.

Whatever the reason, a small number, compared to the number used in ASRock boards,
of AMD 9k X3D CPUs experienced partial and in some cases complete failure.

The upside is that, AFAIK as of this moment, AMD have not failed to honor RMA claims
on CPUs that fell victim to this issue.

The issue has been fully resolved in the latest BIOS of all supporting boards.
From what I know, a few voltage settings were set to much more conservative
values, more in line with other manufacturers.

This was not a mistake or isolated issue, all ASRock boards that support 9k X3D
CPUs had the same values set which is why I believe AMD's provided spec was off.
If it was only a particular board model then I would lean to ASRock making a
mistake but for every single model to be susceptible, that had to be an issue
with the provided specs of the CPU range and their tolerances.

None of that matters to either of you right now however, I would RMA those CPUs
and make sure your boards are on the latest BIOS version when you get your
replacements. If the CPU was damaged then that should completely resolve your
issues.]]> Tue, 29 Jul 2025 01:26:59 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198569&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198569 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198568&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198568 Author: Th3Cap3

I'm running into the same issue, just flashed to the latest BIOS version, I've checked everything but the board is still showing code 00.

I've noticed that sometimes it'll fire up if I let it sit unpowered for a little bit and it stays on and runs for days/weeks as long as I don't shut it down.

This leads me to think it's not a hardware issue per se. I'm running an AMD 9950x3d and I've noticed that my wifes computer whos running a 7800 has never had this issue.]]> Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:30:32 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198568&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198568 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198471&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198471 Author: melchizedek

The board still doesn't POST after following Xaltar's instructions for clearing CMOS.

My question is, given the CMOS clearing didn't help the board POST, is there truly a possibility that flashing could help it POST? Obviously if the board would POST, I would flash it to prevent the issue with the 9000 series X3D CPUs.

I ask because I'm waiting to just buy a new PSU to cross that off the list and feeling its best to move on to this phase now, rather than wait for to get my hands on a USB stick.

Oops, I should have researched for one second before I responded.

Yes ok, I understand I can use the flash-back function to in flash-forward. It will take me some time to get a FAT32 thumbdrive as I'm in the middle of nowhere in Costa Rica, so all of this is particularly slow and challenging.

Thanks again.]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2025 02:44:52 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113264&PID=198430&title=x870e-nova-wifi-code-00#198430
