[SOLVED] Getting mixed codes from Asus motherboard

[Polo10101]

So I have an Asus z390 Macimus XI formula and since rebuilding the system I have been getting weird signals from the q code and the small display screen below the cooler

The q code usually says code: 40
Whereas the display code switches between HDD code: 00 and HDD code: AE

The system works perfectly fine and boots into windows and no problems what so ever even in most demanding tasks. The codes tend to dissappear once I drain the power from the whole system butthen when shut down and turned on again they reappear. Not sure what they mean or what could be wrong

Asus Q-code 40

From Asus FAQs:

Also found this but it appears to be your post....

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1364730-weird-mixed-code-signals-on-asus-motherboard/

All in all the various links and responses that I found seem to indicate that the q-code behavior is "normal".

Likely just poorly documented with respecct to details and meanings.....

Ah I see, so I take it I shouldn't be worried about anything. It's just strange it used to work perfectly fine until the time I had to rebuild it and does work fine when fully reset. I suppose it could be a motherboard glitch/bug of some sort but thank you for the quick reply
