High-end PC (tier 12) - 2012 build

[Mr. Man]

Unfortunately I didn't see anything noteworthy from BF nor Cyber Monday. Will wait for 980 sales!

[Mr. Man]

Something made the computer crap out of the weekend. I am not sure what the cause is. Here's what happened:

- Computer suddenly restarts, then restarts again.
- The ASRock X79 E6 board then has a lit CLR CMOS button.
- Computer now turns on, but will not POST, so no display signal nor boot into BIOS prompt.

Any advice would be appreciated!

[Mr. Man]

To add on this, the current debug display shows the system being stuck at 34. I've reset the CMOS after electrical discharge and it's still stuck there. I am not sure whether there had been damage to the motherboard.

Here's a short footage of the error:

01-54 comes up as a memory problem. dr debug says to reseat cpu and memory and then clear cmos. i would troubleshoot the memory dimms.

good luck

I referred to the manual here: http://ftp.66.226.78.21/manual/X79%20Extreme6GB.pdf and found that the 34 debug code is as stated:

CPU post-memory initialization. Application Processor(s) (AP) initialization

It hangs there and I cannot get the motherboard to POST. I have reseated and checked all of the memory sticks at each slot starting with A1 incremental.
