Strange Boot Codes

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,
My motherboard is ASRock 990FX Extreme4. Since yesterday I was very happy with it. But then I had no video.
I checked the RAM and observed the Dr. Debug Code- most of the time it stopped at 36 and then the power went off. I rebooted and pressed the reset switch -did it several times until it booted normally again.
I can not find documentation on this behavior. I happened already twice.

I hope somebody can advise me, on where to look for.
The bios is still the original one.

Thank you.

Dorian

	It's just a guess, but since it's a relatively old motherboard, when was the last time you replaced the CMOS battery? Take it out and check its voltage.

	Thank you, but now it works again..... keep fingers crossed. I was just hoping I could pinpoint the problem.
