New build would post and now does not. "0d" error

   Hey guys, I just joined the forums as I need some help! (I searched and did not see anything for what happened with my build)

I assembled my brand new build the other night and everything went along fine. 

Installed the MB into the case and verified CPU and RAM operation by booting into BIOS via on board graphics. Everything checked out and continue build and installed the GPU. 

Powered up and verified that build was a success with all components installed and everything being read by the BIOS. 

Then I moved the tower to its final place under my desk and connected the new keyboard, mouse and monitor (Used old ones lying around to make sure everything worked). Powered up again and was able to get to the load OS screen in DOS. 

This is where things failed me. I powered off the desktop and installed the Windows 10 USB drive to the ASRock 3.5" drive 3.1 USB slot and powered up. Nothing, system would not post. 

Opened up the side panel and the first error code was 55. Cleared CMOS and tried booting again without the USB installed and same result. Searched the interwebs for this alert and tonight performed the following:

Removed the cooler and the CPU and inspected for damage pins on the MB. None found. Removed the RAM and checked for any issues. None found. I then moved the two RAM sticks to the other DIM slots and booted to see if there was any change. Got code 19. Removed the one stick and now receive code "0d". 

Every variation of memory location and combination I now get "od" error code with no post. I removed the GPU and used on board video. Removed the keyboard and mouse. All the same 0d result. 

My guess would be RMA of the MB? The RAM is on the compatibility list and everything worked fine when the build was complete. All in all this stinks as this was my first complete build from top to bottom... 

Let me know what you guys think and thanks for the help!

	I am sorry to hear you are having such a headache with the build. I think the best thing to do at this point is to remove the board from the system and bench run it. Make sure that there were no shorts under the motherboard (stray screws, misplaced standoffs). By your description it sounds like something may have shorted under the board as moving the RAM around seemed to change things (flex on the board when slotting them in/removing them). Take the board out of the case and place it on top of it's box and install only the CPU and 1 stick of RAM and see if you still get the error. If that fails then clear CMOS using this method (an hour should be enough) and try again. If there is still no joy you can try an RMA. Bare in mind that there is also the possibility that the CPU itself may be defective, we have seen that be the case a few times on the forums here but the board should be the easiest to RMA and is a little more likely to be the cause of the problem given how rarely CPUs go bad. Let us know how it goes. Edited by Xaltar - 18 Mar 2016 at 2:00pm

	Thanks for the help! I also read that updating the bios via Instant Flash may help? I am not sure if this would work seeing as I cannot even get the monitor to fire up. That is interesting you mention removing the board as I almost did that last night but instead loosened all the screws and hand tightened them back down to make sure there was no contact. If I did have a defective CPU would it operate normally like that and then shut down all together? I guess anything is possible. Thanks again for the all the tips!

	Okay so I removed the board and clear CMOS like linked for one hour. Installed just the CPU one stick of RAM and powered on to "od" right away. Moved the RAM to all 4 slots with same result. So it seems to be either my MB (Most likely) or my CPU. The only other option could be the BIOS version? looks to be 1.7 level which may not play nice with my current RAM? But I have no sure fire way to update this with the board not doing anything on first power. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

	Replaced the ASRock MB with MSI MB. Still had the same issue. RMA the CPU and fixed the issue for the "0d" debug code and no boot. Hope this info will help someone in the future.
