Shutdown procedure for code 05
Shutdown procedure for code 05
You're looking for guidance on resolving this shutdown issue with your X79 Turbo PC. It seems the system enters a POST state with code 05 and doesn't power down properly, even after disabling Fast Startup and checking BIOS sleep settings. Since you're unsure about modifying the hardware, consider trying a clean boot or resetting the BIOS to default settings. Also, ensure all components are functioning correctly—faulty RAM or a failing motherboard could be contributing factors. Let me know if you'd like help with troubleshooting steps!
It's mainly about desoldering the chip and programming it, which isn't too complicated with a suitable socket so you don't have to re-solder three times. I do notice their BIOS design is similar to older ASUS models, so if I ever get one, I'd probably flash it to an ASUS BIOS based on how close the postcodes are and the BIOS type (like AMI BIOS). Usually the shutdown occurs in a single postcode—like for my P5Q it's 02—and it seems odd it would get stuck there. I've had this happen before when heavily overclocking, so if you're doing any overclocking like CPU or RAM, consider removing those components temporarily and see if it improves things.
Thanks in advance. I didn't enable the overclocking or overvoltage features, maybe the device is handling things differently it shouldn't.
