Error 00 on the new RAM setup of your ASUS board indicates a problem during installation.
I've been using my i7-7700k with 24GB of Hyper X 2133MHz DDR4 RAM on an ASUS motherboard and a 750W cooler for several years without issues (upgraded to GTX1080Ti last year). Recently, I added 32GB Corsair LX 3200MHz RAM. After installing the new sticks, I restarted the PC, set XMP in BIOS, and everything worked smoothly for a while. When I turned it off and back on, the motherboard displayed error code 00. I reset the CMOS and left the RAM at its default speed, but the PC still wouldn’t boot. After rebooting with XMP enabled, it started again. To check if everything was fine, I played GTA V online, then powered it off and on—still got the same error code. The method to clear the CMOS helped once, but now I’m worried about repeating this process every time. What might be causing this issue?
I consistently receive the code under these conditions. It usually happens during loop testing or adjusting the case angle. Uneven force on the CPU block seems to be a factor. Restarting or flipping the PSU power button helps. I didn’t clear the CMOS before fixing the problem.
Thanks for your response. I followed your suggestion of powering off the PC and restarting it, which resolved the issue completely. The problem persists every time I shut down and turn it back on, even though everything seems fine. I’ve already replaced the RAM on another system and still encountered the same error. My knowledge about hardware isn’t strong enough to pinpoint the cause, so I’m looking for guidance on how to fix this. I was wondering if uneven pressure on the CPU could be related, since that would explain why the same setup fails. This is really frustrating!
