QCode 00, Anti Surge reboots
« on: June 30, 2014, 04:38:29 AM »
First off, a list of specs:

i7 4770K @3.50GHz (not overclocked yet)
GTX 780 Ti
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (running in XMP)
Corsair 750D
Corsair RM850W PSU
Corsair H100i Liquid cooling
Asus Maximus VI Hero
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB
WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM

I built this system 3 days ago. The first day I had some CPU overheating problems, which I fixed. The H100i cooler was not on well enough and the thermal paste only covered about 1/3 of the CPU. Great, all's fine.

The day after though, my system got random reboots. When I powered it on right after, it said ASUS Anti-Surge was triggered and the system reset to prevent damage from power surges.

Today, the system reset at least 3 times, the last time it did not give me the power surge message. Instead, I got Q-code 00 and the system would boot up, but I didn't get a display, nor were the rear and front fans spinning.

Now I have gotten the 00 code twice, though if I wait about half an hour, I can boot up and do what I'd do normally, wair for another reboot.

Stress testing under 100% load showed normal voltages on everything in the PC. I reach max temps of 60 degrees on my graphics card and 55 degrees on my CPU.

I have reseated RAM and disabled XMP mode, I didn't even overclock my CPU yet. I ran the system with integrated graphics and I flashed the bios to the latest version, no dice.

Any help is extremely appreciated, thank you

I have read all threads on 00 codes, they have nothing to do with my situation as their motherboards are either DOA or not working.. I have a functioning motherbaord which I have used for over 3 days

Doesn't change the fact that none of the solutions work... Also, they can't boot anymore. I'm on the computer right now

I saw more than 1 solution that worked....

Most common one was more conservative RAM clockings.

Is it possible my BIOS is outdated? I tried updating the bios version with a CAP file but it is still displaying the same version for me
