Error 34 LED ASUS Rampage IV Extreme & Asus IV Gene
-
Hello guys, I'll tell you about the problem I'm having. It turns out that a long time ago, on a very bad day when the weather was very unstable, a lightning bolt hit my house and unfortunately my motherboard has fried, well that's what I think. When I turn it on, I get error 34.
That's more or less detailed what happened. Now I have an Asus IV Gene motherboard because I thought my motherboard was the problem and that it had burned out with that thunder. Anyway, I put everything back together and pfffff, when it's time to start, it doesn't even start the motherboard initialization, it doesn't give a signal on the HDMI input and the worst part is that error 34 also appears on the motherboard's LED. I need your help please, any help you can give me to test?
I've tried removing all the modules and testing one by one and it doesn't work. I've also tried connecting only the SSD since I have two drives, one main and one secondary, and it still doesn't work. The strange thing is that barely after starting up, after about 5 seconds or so, the power supply fan, the water cooling (h100i), and the VGA fan slow down...
The only thing I could test so far to clear up any doubts is my power supply. I tested it on another machine to see if it wasn't the cause of the problem, but it turns out the power supply works super well, so it's not the power supply. I don't know what else to test. I need fresh ideas please. Maybe my CPU or RAM has fried...
Any kind of help is welcome, thank you.

According to what I read in a forum, try removing the micro and doing a CMOS clearing. With that, it could work. I know it's a hassle to remove the heatsink and all, but you have nothing to lose by trying it

That's more or less the detailed account of what happened. Now I have an Asus IV Gene motherboard because I thought my previous motherboard was the problem and that it had been fried by the lightning. Anyway, I put everything back together and pfffff, when I tried to start it up, it didn't even boot up. The motherboard didn't give any signal on the HDMI input and, worst of all, error 34 also appeared on the motherboard's LED. I need your help please, any help you can offer me to test?

I tried it in another machine to see if it was the cause of the problem, but it turns out that the power supply works perfectly, so it's not the power supply. I don't know what else to test.

Possibly the motherboard fried, take out the battery for 15 minutes and press that red button that is to the right of the rear connectors, it's located just between the CPU socket and the rear connectors, press that button. I'm talking about the Rampage IV, I have the 3 and once it fried and wouldn't turn on, doing that would make it work again, it resets the BIOS. If you pressed the back clear CMOS button it wouldn't work, you had to press the red one.
Although the Gene should work, maybe you have a bad memory module, run a rubber eraser over the memory connectors, check that the graphics card is properly seated, try changing it from Pcie to see if sometimes that works too.
You would have to put it in the third slot I think and if it works then put it back in the first one to see if it's working.

Thanks to everyone really for trying to help me
I have uploaded a video for demonstration, I have tried what fjavi told me but I still have the problem now I am going to try my other board and I am also going to try what amd tells me

remove the micro and reset the board and check the voltage and timing of the memories,
best regards -
The problem is solved, guys. The cause was that the VGA had blown its HDMI input and with the DVI output it works wonders. What I did was buy an adapter with a male DVI input and a female HDMI output. That was enough, nothing was burned, neither the motherboard nor the memory, everything is working. Yesterday I finished assembling everything. Thanks to a friend, we tested it at home and we cleared up the doubts. Wow, I didn't think so, but well, now I have another 2011 motherboard screwed up stored there, but I guess if I ever have problems with this motherboard, I'll have to replace it with this one. Anyway, thanks to everyone for the help.
Note: In the part of manually turning on the motherboard, there is a button that says off and on. Apparently, according to my friend who read it in a forum, it should be on. So when we tried changing it to on, and voila, it turned on immediately, recognizing the memories, CPU, etc. The only thing I had to do was reinstall the whole Windows 7 again, but that's history, as long as it works. Thanks again, and I clarify all this in case it might be useful to someone else someday.

I'm glad everything got sorted out. The truth is that in many cases, IT is about trying things until you find the solution :wall: but we all learn from these things and for next time, we'll have a bit more experience.
Thanks for sharing the solution to the problem.

Obs. In the part of turning on the motherboard manually, there's a button that says off and on. Apparently, according to my friend who read it in a forum, it should be on. So when we tried changing it to on, wuala, it turned on right away, recognizing the memory, CPU, etc. The only thing I had to do was reinstall the whole Windows 7 again, but that's history. As long as it works, I'm happy. Thanks again and I'm clarifying all this in case it might be useful to someone else someday.
It was a mistake not to tell you this because that's what happened to me with a 470 and 480. It doesn't always fail, but sometimes it goes black and doesn't work, so I connect it via DVI or DVI to HDMI. On an LG TV, it used to fail more often than on a Samsung, but HDMI fails.
The 480 has minihdmi as the output and I thought it was because of that output, but I saw normal HDMI failures too.
Although I thought you would have tried a different connection.Regards
