Question Q code 97 with Asus Z87 Deluxe ?

[mina_2024]

I have Asus Z87 Deluxe which was working fine with the iGPU of the i5-4570 and AMD 7470 dGPU.

I upgraded the dGPU to a Gigabyte RX 470 and it's working fine with two other motherboards (gigabyte g41 and an HP oem case)

With my motherboard I get q code 97 "console output devices connect" -as manual- at POST.
The RX 470 works in the brown PCIe slot but at x8 and I need it to work in the top PCIe slot.


What I have tried with no luck :

• Clearing CMOS
• Reinstalling RAM
• Removing all storage devices

My specs:

CPU: i5-4570

RAM: 10GB

PSU : Zalman 700 watt

OS: Windows 10 LTSC

Have you checked out the Q-codes for your motherboard.

This link says code 97 is "SCSI Reset" which isn't particularly helpful. I have a bunch of old Adaptec Ultra320 controller cards, but obviously that doesn't apply in your case. Perhaps I shouldn't take the term "SCSI" literally. It might apply to the SATA interface.

I had an old Asus mobo that used to hang at code 99. Can't remember exactly how I fixed it but it might have been something to do with additional PCIe cards (10Gb NIC, LSA SAS HBA or GPU).

Check the BIOS to see if there's an option to enable Legacy Boot ROMs. If there is such an option, try Legacy First & UEFI Second, or permutations thereof. Try Legacy only and UEFI only. Just a wild guess.

thanks for replying
code 97 in the manual is " Console output devices connect"
