    Asus X99-E WS "b1" Error Code

    Another update. Took the "updated" BIOS chip out, popped the original one back in and now i'm back to the "61" error code. Happens with both the 2680v4 and 2630v3. Worth seeing if I can update the original BIOS? (Can I even do that with this issue?)

    Asus X99-E WS "b1" Error Code

    6 of these and 2 of these. Swapped PSU out for an EVGA 850 G2 (as it has 2x 8pin CPU) and now the board does a little more - "00" code and turns off after after seconds then restarts. Also tried another CPU, same code. Tested with only one DIMM in A1. Edit - Just swapped BIOS chip for the...

    Asus X99-E WS "b1" Error Code

    Just got round to testing this again, family stuff got in the way. I got a new BIOS chip delivered however we seem to have developed a new problem. Popped the new chip in and now the board lights up for a second and turns straight off. Proceeded to burn my thumb on the BIOS. Quick googled...

    Asus X99-E WS "b1" Error Code

    Sorry for the late reply guys, work's been crazy. I've messaged the seller asking if they know the current BIOS version. I'm thinking I might just grab a E5-1620 for £6 posted and use it to test with. Before that though, is it worth trying to reseat the CPU? I completely forgot about the issues...

    Asus X99-E WS "b1" Error Code

    I've removed the CMOS battery, cleared it, unplugged, booted without and it's the same. Looks like it might be removeable but I can't see why the BIOS wouldn't be the 4001 (or something recent enough to work with the E5-2680) when it was "pulled working".

    Asus X99-E WS "b1" Error Code

    The cpu/mobo/ram were purchased from a seller on eBay as pulled working so i'd assume the BIOS was updated to run the CPU. I've been in touch with the seller since and they seem helpful so guessing it wasn't purposefully sold broken. I'll give that a go and see if it works. Are we looking at...

    Asus X99-E WS "b1" Error Code

    I've popped the 4001 BIOS onto a USB and left the comp idling for 40 mins, no signal on the monitor and it's just sat at "61" code on the motherboard. How can I flash the BIOS given this state?

    Asus X99-E WS "b1" Error Code

    Ah, I think you're right. Clear CMOS doesn't seem to help the issue so would I need to look at flashing the BIOS? Is that even possible when the build doesn't even POST? (One thread relating to the "61" error code on google says their build takes over 20 mins to boot)

    Asus X99-E WS "b1" Error Code

    Hey, Recently bought a Asus X99-E WS motherboard with a Intel Xeon E5-2680V4 and 8x 16GB DDR4. Every time I boot the device I'm getting a "b1" error code on the motherboard. I've tried different PSUs, removing all USB etc device that aren't needed (literally only have PSU, DP cable and a USB...

    HP Microserver Gen8 Setup Help

    With the HP Bios on this, I don't think you can actually set an order - simply just HDD, CD-ROM, USB, NIC etc. I had it on HDD and when it failed to boot with the HDDs in I changed it to CD-ROW thinking i'm using that SATA port so maybe it's programmed like that, still didn't work - same...

    HP Microserver Gen8 Setup Help

    Hey, I recently bought one of these when they were on the £80 Cashback offer. After realising you have to use the "Intelligent Provisioning" to install and OS, I finally got Windows Server 2012 R2 installed and it running smooth. I then copied an episode of Nitro Circus I have over, installed...
