Error Code 0D

[dlenchert57]

I wanted to use my computer and it was working but when i went to use it again, it was stuck at post code 0d. the only 3 things that i think it could be is 1.the cpu 2.the motherboard and 3.bios. the only thing that changes the post code is removing the cpu. Does anyone know what is wrong?

What model of motherboard?

 

[dlenchert57]

EVGA Z170 FTW

According to EVGA's manual the D0 code means "CPU initialization error."

CPU failures are possible, but rare, and I'd go through a few troubleshooting steps.

-> Reset the BIOS, by unplugging the system from power and removing the button battery by depressing it's retention clip gently with a small tip of some sort
-> Remove and reseat all RAM
-> Disconnect all non-essential devices (USB headers, audio headers, SATA cables - everything but power, cpu and RAM)

If none of these change the situation, there's a problem with either board or chip. Which CPU model is in there?

i tried all 3 of them but it still shows 0d. the cpu is a i3-7300t and also if this helps it happened right after i put in a new gpu.

Well I just realized I checked the wrong error code - D0 rather than 0D. Actually there is no specific listing for 0D here, just a note "Reserved for future error codes."

Since you mention the last thing you did was a hardware change, pull out the new GPU and try again. There's no onboard video output but it may be a bad or incompatible card. If you have the old card, try that again

i removed the gpu and it still did not work. it will not work with or without the gpu.

 

[SchizTech]

What code do you get with a different GPU?

o with no GPU

 

[dlenchert57]

i tried a different gpu and it still does not work

You mentioned in the OP that you get a different code though.

 

[dlenchert57]

i only get a different code if i remove the cpu and it shows C

 

[SchizTech]

I see. I'd say your motherboard failed. If it's under warranty contact EVGA support, otherwise you'll have to spend for a replacement.

 

[dlenchert57]

ok thank you

 

[dlenchert57]

are you sure it is the motherboard? i do not want to get a new motherboard to find out that it was the cpu.

 

[SchizTech]

It's impossible to be 100% certain without testing with a different CPU; however CPU failures are rather uncommon compared to motherboards and the fact it was working before a different card was tried strongly suggests the motherboard is the problem.

 

[dlenchert57]

it was the motherboard. i got it today and the computer works! thank you again.
