Well the thumb screw rolled under the chip set so maybe it caused a short there.

Quote:Originally Posted by Paradigm84 00 is 'not used'. I know 00 means "not used", but what would could be the possible cause of something like that? I accidentally dropped a small thumb screw and it rolled under the mother board...

I'm getting q-code 00 now on my 3820 rig. Any ideas on what might be wrong?

My rig won't even post now, I have no idea what's wrong, but I've taken it apart just to clean it all up. I don't think the problem is that it was dirty or something, I just felt like doing something. The CPU wont even get through...

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to keep my pc from sleeping? Whenever I leave it on for a long time it goes to sleep then gets stuck at a 30 q-code then after I restart it it stays at a 40 q-code and finally after another restart it...

I'm sad my 3820 was $320.00 Guess when I finally sell it i wont be getting much. Oh well, that just seems to be part of buying and selling pc hardware.

Quote:Originally Posted by jthomas  No sarcasm, mine is max at 43 and someone on the asrock x79 discussion thread had an 3820 that maxed at 44. I was just going to be jealous!! On my board you can "set" it to 44 in the bios, but...

And Intel Burn Test, even though it's is not a very good stability test. IMO
