Anyone here gode '63' code problem on M13A?

Got M13A sample from Asus Rep here in my country for a review. 1st board stuck in 63 code after 1st cold session. Try to flash with BIOS Flashback, no go. Even using EVC2SX for SPI flash.

Short story, board got replaced. But the board replacement have same code 63 issue out of the box!
So I think this isn't isolated issue.
Now this 2nd board still alive by flashing it into 0903 BIOS via BIOS Flashback.
But with this repeated issue, IDK for how long it's alive.
It somewhat give me a trauma, not like the retail board that comes with warranty, this is a sample board, didn't & can't be repaired by Asus here.

 

I just want to know if anyone has got same problem? Or anyone know the cause & solution?

Is it has something to do with board (PCB) revision if any (In case any different retail & sample board)?

Bad BIOS flash / BIOS chip & corrupted ME? Or can be physical damage? I didn't notice any physical damage on the board, though.

Many thanks! ??

Are you trying to boot with gpu installed or no?

Had the same post code on my first retail board I had. Thought the board was bricked as well, so replaced with Newegg. Got the second board in and did the exact same thing. Stupid strange thing is I noticed I was trying to boot both boards without vga installed. Got 63 post on both every time without vga, but both ended up posting fine when I put in discrete gpu. 

I can actually replicate it and get it stuck on 63 every time without a gpu. But it works completely fine with one installed. Weirdest thing ever, but maybe can be a help.

Weird indeed, I've been trying with / without GPU.
I even change the CPU into CML 10900K. Bcoz I thought is ME issue. I think change it to CML will trigger something / detection different CPU on ME. But it's still got 63.

Is any VGA LED error turned on on Q-LED?
I'd heard someone got the VGA LED Error lights up when got 63. But in my both board isn't.

This second board get alive just with flashing to 0903 via BIOS Flashback.
Anyway thanks for sharing ?, so it is indeed not an isolated issue. Still don't know what the cause.

PLL Termination Voltage
DMI Voltage
CorePLL Voltage
Should I just set these low?

I just set PLL Term & Standby low, like 1.05v. Is enough.
Save & exit, turn off the system, set LN2 jumper to Enable. But I suggest you don't use safeboot / clear CMOS when LN2 jumper is enabled, on air. In my case it's locks up the system, didn't pass the POST / stuck & restart.
BCoz high standby voltage applied by LN2 Mode I think.

If you want to set manually low DMI, core PLL & PLL Bandwidth it's okay too.


@endpunkt Maybe you can try G.Skill 4800c20 or the 5066 bins ones.

If you use non uefi graphics card, try wait until system is restarted and try csm automatically, because first boot is without csm enabled.

I switched the LN2 mode jumper.
BIOS won't boot, code 18 or 20.
Clearing the CMOS doesn't help.
Is there any way to fix this?
I put the jumper back in and it boots.

Hey

In LN2 mode, 2 voltage settings are need

PLL Term 1.05 and CPU Standby 1.05

First change in normal mode and change to LN2 mode

So there's no solution.

I think what Safedisk is trying to say is this .  .  .

First change PLL Term  to 1.05v and CPU Standby to 1.05v while in normal mode
Save and Exit, re-enter the bios then power down
Move LN2 jumper from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3 to change to LN2 mode
Power back on and enter bios to check if LN2 mode is active

I can't even put it in LN2 mode.
ASUS, I want my money back!!!!

Hey reply was late. Sorry

I already told you how to use ln2 mode on aio cooler

Other users have no problems with the same method

First, set the PLL Term voltage and CPU Standby voltage to 1.05v in normal mode. When bios in after save and exit, turn off the power and change to ln2 mode

For superpi 0070 bios best

 

Thanks
