Hi

I've installed a "new" Asrock X399 Fatal1ty into my server with a TR1920x and 16GB 2133mhz RAM. Everything worked without a problem for about a week or so but after I've done a reboot of the server, it wont start anymore.

Post code is showing 7A most of the time, sometimes it's showing 7b or 76 dont know if that's a "b" or a "6"

The manual says "Chipset initialization error. Clear CMOS or reset". It didn't work. I also tried to remove the battery. Boot with one stick of ram but same problem. Removed also every PCIe device and changed the PSU, still hangs with the same 2 post codes.

Should I try to re-flash the BIOS? BTW the latest BIOS is installed
