Hi, I've been using my Asus WS C422 SAGE 10G and an Intel Xeon W-2295 workstation for more than two years. Suddenly I can't boot at all. I see the code 32 on the motherboard, and the only way to access BIOS is through a CMOS reset. After rebooting, the error reappears, so I have to reset the CMOS again. Asus recommends checking the CPU, but inside BIOS everything seems fine—CPU registers are normal and RAM looks okay. Anyone with experience can help? I tried Copilot too, but it didn't work. Thanks for your help.

According to Manual page 118, Code 32 indicates a "CPU post-memory initialization" error. The likely scenarios in order of likelihood are: 1: CPU issue—possibly failing, though rare. Consider reseating it. 2: RAM problem—may require reinsertion or testing with one stick at a time. 3: Failing motherboard—components can wear out over time; this model is about seven years old, matching typical lifespan. It might just be bad luck.
