What did you set the RAM voltage too when you were tweaking settings? .. did you up voltage to CPU? What is your IF(infinity fabric) set too?

Hopefully you didn't damage the integrated memory controller in the CPU and/or your RAM]]> Tue, 01 Dec 2020 18:22:02 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17371&PID=81849&title=pc-is-stuck-at-asrock-startup-screen#81849 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17371&PID=81848&title=pc-is-stuck-at-asrock-startup-screen#81848 Author: ThreeDee

boot with just 1 stick of RAM in slot A2 and see if it boots into windows .. if so, add another stick to slot B2 and see if it boots ..

If it does with 2 sticks .. swap out those 2 sticks with your other 2 sticks and see if it boots with those]]> Tue, 01 Dec 2020 18:18:45 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17371&PID=81848&title=pc-is-stuck-at-asrock-startup-screen#81848 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17371&PID=81822&title=pc-is-stuck-at-asrock-startup-screen#81822 Author: Willsnyder45

My build:

ASRock Creator x570

Ryzen 7 3800x

4x16gb G-Skill RAM

MSI 2080 Super

I don't think I've ever been so frustrated with my computer. I was in BIOS adjusting the frequency on my RAM and it didn't boot up, which is pretty common when I'm trying to get higher frequencies. So I restarted my PC and it went to the ASRock logo and just stayed there. I checked out the MOBO code and it was sitting at 98. From my research this indicates an issue in some peripheral that is attached to the PC. So I unplugged all of my peripherals (mouse, keyboard, headphones, etc) and boot it up again. This time it stuck on post code "d7". Which I think indicates that there are no peripherals connected. So I basically kept alternating USB slots with my mouse and my keyboard while rebooting and clearing CMOS. Every single time it booted up and just stuck on the ASRock screen with the error code "98".

As a last ditch effort I formatted a USB to FAT32 and put a newer BIOS version on it, making sure to name it appropriately. I put it into the right BIOS USB slot and pressed the BIOS flashback button for 3 seconds. It started flashing and then held on green, which the manual says means something went wrong. So unfortunately I couldn't upgrade my BIOS.

I've been taking random things out of my PC to see if it fixes the problem but honestly I can't figure it out. Any suggestions would be really helpful!]]> Mon, 30 Nov 2020 17:22:12 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=17371&PID=81822&title=pc-is-stuck-at-asrock-startup-screen#81822
