My PC has the following specs:

  • eVGA Z68 FTW Mainboard
  • AMD Radeon HD 7970 Graphics Card

I am having the following problem:

My PC had a White Screen yesterday (the whole Screen turned White while usage and I had to shut it down forcefully). I started it up again and some time later I had a black Screen - same Problem just in black.

But then it would not start and POST again. When I powered it up, the fans started running but I could not hear the POST-beep. So I opened my PC up and looked on the debug-code on the Mainboard:

enter image description here

I turned it blue so you can see it a little bit better. Im not sure if it says

  • b2: Legacy Option ROM Initialization

or

  • 62: Installation of the South Bridge Runtime Services

The strange thing now is that when I Switch the PCI-E port to any other port, the POST starts and beeps 5 times, showing the Code d6: "No Console Output Devices are found". I have also tried reseting the CMOS after switching the Slot, does not work either.

So now my question is: Is my graphics Cards damaged or are the Slots on the Mainboard damaged? Or am I maybe not reseting the Cmos correctly after switching the Slot?

UPDATE: I tried another BIOS (changed the switch) and now I get Code 99: Super IO Initialization

  • The code is a b not a 6. Does your motherboard have a dual bios feature, if so, there should be a button you can pressed to load the backup firmware.

  • Yes there is a switch with three Positions. I already tried all three positions but it does not Change anything. The Problem is how can I Flash it when I don't have any Access to my PC?

The debug code is b2. It sounds like possibly a bios issue. Do you have another computer in which you can download the latest bios revision and flash it?

  • Yes I could try that.

  • If you have another computer to obtain the bios rom for your motherboard, most high end motherboards will flash directly in the bios with the rom on usb flash drive.

  • I tried falsing it with the newest Version some time ago and it told me "No PDR Region"

  • No pdr means a file (the pdr file) was missing. Also, 99 should be a functioning state. b2 should be a functioning state but there could be bios corruption.
