Hey, this is my first PC build and I've now finished the hardware part. Intel - Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz Quad-Core OEM/Tray Processor Corsair - H80i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ASRock - Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard G.Skill 8GB DDR4 2400 Ram (2x8GB) Kinston 240GB Solid state drive Asus - GeForce GTX 770 2GB DirectCU II Video Card x2 (SLI) Corsair - GS Series 800W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply When i first started it, it ran for about 10 seconds, went went off and after 3 seconds it ran correctly and didnt stop. I had the HDMI cable connected to a monitor, but it got no signal, no matter what i tried. In the first 10 seconds it ran, on the Motherboard LED "panel" it threw the error code 19, so i took out the RAM and placed one module in the a1 slot. After that, the Motherboard LED "panel" showed the error code 00, which in the manual means to check if the CPU is installed correctly, which it is. Then (the PC still went off shortly after the first 10 seconds) the Motherboard LED "panel" shows the error code 62, which in the manual is a "Chipset initialization error". The monitor still didn't get a signal. I did some research and found that i have to update the motherboards BIOS in order to use it with my cpu. I also found out there are 2 options to do that. 1: Buy a cheap Cpu and update the BIOS before using the good one 2: Use a USB drive to do a BIOS-Flashback. I read a conversation on this Forum about that and my only issue is that I can't see what I'm doing because I get no signal. I really prefer the second option since it's easier and faster to do, but I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me with both options (how to update BIOS using a cheap CPU or doing a USB-BIOS-FLASHBACK without a screen. Thanks for reading and please help if you can! Many people seem to solve their issues on this Forum, so I hope we can solve mine too. |

" rel="nofollow - Both BIOS chips are socketed. That's a good thing for you as they are replaceable/exchangeable. Down along the lower right side of the MB near the bottom is the chips, with a sticker over them. What do the stickers have printed on them? Also, is this MB new, or second hand/open box etc ? |

The MoBo is factory new, but I ordered it from Amazon, which I won't do again since on other PC sites there are way better offers. On the chips it says P2.80 |

Yea, you need to update those BIOS chips to at least P7.10 I can offer you a less expensive way than buying a lower processor to update. Your location may take time for it to arrive though. I say "it' as you only need one with P7.10 or higher to boot and flashback onto the other Contact ASRock using http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp" rel="nofollow - http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp and explain your issue and location. They may charge you the customary $15.00USD or they may not to send you a pre-flashed chip with the newest BIOS revision. Keep us posted please. |

No difference buying from eBay, as long as the chip is correct and it has at least the 7.10 UEFI/BIOS version that is compatible with your Kaby Lake processor. I've never heard of anyone having a bad experience with buying the chip from eBay. Just so you know, you cannot do a UEFI/BIOS update with a USB flash drive in your situation, since your CPU cannot operate at all without the compatible UEFI version. If the CPU cannot work, you can't do anything. Actually it is the processors microcode that is part of the UEFI file that must be compatible with a Kaby Lake processor. Your only option is to replace the chip with a compatible UEFI version in it. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

| Yeah, i asked the service at ASRock and they told me the same... It looks like they'll send a Rom chip with 7.20 on it for free. I'm really happy it's that simple and user friendly. |
