Hey there, the ASRock Z77 MB has been sending 13 beeps with D4 code. It’s not related to RAM or PCI cards, and it only happens occasionally during shutdowns. When you try to restart it, what do you think might help?

There isn't a 13th beep or a code for 13 beeps in a row. Maybe 11 and 2 would make sense to me. Or perhaps 10 and 3. But I don't know about 13 in a row. Post code D4 is memory error. Is XMP enabled? AMI post codes. Spoiler 1 short DRAM refresh failure The programmable interrupt timer or programmable interrupt controller has probably failed 2 short Memory parity error A memory parity error has occurred in the first 64K of RAM. The RAM IC is probably bad 3 short Base 64K memory failure A memory failure has occurred in the first 64K of RAM. The RAM IC is probably bad 4 short System timer failure The system clock/timer IC has failed or there is a memory error in the first bank of memory 5 short Processor error The system CPU has failed 6 short Gate A20 failure The keyboard controller IC has failed, which is not allowing Gate A20 to switch the processor to protected mode. Replace the keyboard controller 7 short Virtual mode processor exception error The CPU has generated an exception error because of a fault in the CPU or motherboard circuitry 8 short Display memory read/write error The system video adapter is missing or defective 9 short ROM checksum error The contents of the system BIOS ROM does not match the expected checksum value. The BIOS ROM is probably defective and should be replaced 10 short CMOS shutdown register read/write error The shutdown for the CMOS has failed 11 short Cache error The L2 cache is faulty 1 long, 2 short Failure in video system An error was encountered in the video BIOS ROM, or a horizontal retrace failure has been encountered 1 long, 3 short Memory test failure A fault has been detected in memory above 64KB 1 long, 8 short Display test failure The video adapter is either missing or defective 2 short POST Failure One of the hardware testa have failed 1 long POST has passed all tests

It was 13 beeps in a row when I mentioned the RAM wasn’t the problem. This issue had been happening for two years, but it would restart normally on a Windows machine. I removed the motherboard and fixed it by hitting it with a hammer, then ordered a new RAM and a Ryzen 3800X.
