Hi , im having issues posting after building this new system with old pc hardware. I upgraded from a gigabyte g1 sniper m5, 8gbx2 hyperX Ddr3 RAM and i7 4770k. I had no issues before until I replaced the 3 components for these. The cpu should be a used working part and so is the RAM. The motherboard is new in box.

Hi im having a evga d6 error. Not sure whats causing it. Just built my pc. I really believe evga sold me a mobo that does not support 9th gen Intel cpus out of the factory considering they released this like in 2017 or 2018 and yet its 2021 now. I bought this on February 2021 I believe. What a pita. Gonna try and buy a 8th cheap cpu and try to see if I can get a post from pc I guess if nobody else has suggestions.

Read what I've done so far. Also Sajin commented down below processor failure. Pretty sure its not.

Someone that had this same issue and found out to fix it was to update bios.

Was hoping someone would help modify the bios to support extra features. Totally off topic:

Would be awesome to have llc calibration features and speedstep toggle and hpet toggle if that isn't there already.

I get 5 beeps and a d6 error code.

System specs:
Intel core i7 9700k
EVGA Z370 MICRO
Gskill ddr4 3200mhz RAM
Seasonic platinum 860w
Nvidia gtx 1080 ti
Samsung 970 evo plus 512gb
Noctua NH-D14
Caselabs s5
ASUS pg278qr
Logitech GPW
Cooler Master cm storm quickfiretk

I tried taking off the 6 pin power to the motherboard that supplies video card extra power that only Evga has this type of feature. It didn't post regardless 6 pin power connector was in the mobo.

I tried to reset the mobo from reset switch inside

Tried bios switch from 2nd position to 1st position. No luck

Switched to different display port ports. No luck.

Tried 2nd pcie slot. Makes different noise but still d6 error code.

I'm also using dp cable to the video card. I do not have hdmi cable to test out. I've tried both ports on backside of video card. No luck.

Reseated CPU and RAM. Checked for bent pins or missing ones. No luck. Must really be a bios update I need from 8th gen cpu. Nothing else I can do.

Also I took out CMOS battery too.

If I have to take this apart and somehow grab a old 8th gen cpu from somewhere it'll be somewhat a pain to take out because of the cooler bracket interferes with taking out cpu but prefer not to do all that for nothing though. Im hoping this is a quick fix and just needs a bios flash to latest version hopefully...

Any help would be great thanks!

5 beeps indicates processor failure. You may need to update the bios on your motherboard to fix the 5 beeps. D6 points to the gpu not being detected. Try booting the pc with the gpu removed from the system, and only using the igpu for video to see if that helps get rid of the d6 error.

Hi ! Your trouble shooting is coming from your 9700K since your mainboard was built to only support 8th gen from the beginning... It will support 9th gen only after a bios update meaning that you have to borrow from a friend an 8th gen cpu to do it 

Gotcha. I guess I'll try to purchase a used cpu on ebay. I assumed evga updated... atleast enough to where 9700k will post. Unfortunately its really old I guess.

Uhm there's no hdmi or dp out on this mobo, I have integrated graphics but no hdmi or dp out from motherboard. Thats the problem.

Are you sure 100% processor failure?

I bought this processor used. This should still be good hopefully. Im thinking about buying a celeron g4900 or i3 8100 to post and see if its a bios update I need and/or maybe processor failure too?

Do a search on google for ami beep codes and you’ll see 5 beeps mean processor failure.

I saw your reply to another guy and had a link to a computerbeep site which gives info on what it means. Still not sure whether a bios update would give 5 beeps?

Not sure then. I swore this guy sold me a used i7 9700k on ebay. Doubt he would sell it broken. Anyways... the 2 things I can think of is either bios needs updating and evga never updated a board that they sold in 2021 or maybe processor failure. Both maybe?

Thinking about just purchasing a 8th gen cpu and seeing the bios version. Hopefully its out of date and this is all it needs either gonna have to try for an rma on cpu.

Sajin
Definitely try the 8th gen cpu first to see if updating the bios will help before rma'ing the cpu.

Some say it can be the RAM too. I remember my post office threw the ram next to my trash can. Don't know why the F they would throw it there rather than leave it at my doorstep instead... you can't place the package next to trashcan without throwing it and im not sure there was no padding for RAM. Maybe thats the problem... -_-

If cpu isn't defective, then bios requires updating if that isn't the problem its the RAM...

Well yes but I don't know what version is on the mobo. Not sure if evga updates theirs because I heard of others with similar issues.

You have to go to the support download page to get the last bios for your Z370 Micro to flash it... There's only one version of your mainboard that's not like Gigabyte with rev 1.0 1.1 3.0 3.1 and so on 

Look at my previous posts, i've well said that you have to borrow an 8th gen (8350k, 8300, 8500, 8600, 8600k) from one of your friends... if not, you can buy it new through Amazon then make your bios update then return it before the 14 days 

Ok fine is it a new one or used ? Hope it would work since Celerons and Pentiums don't appear in the cpu support list... if not the best thing will be to find a 8350k/8400/8500/8600/8600k to be able to flash your bios or else sell your 9700K back and return your G4900 to find and purchase a 8700K 6C/12T or 8600K 6C/6T which will be directly supported by your mainboard with its current bios... or else keep your 9700K and sell your Z370 Micro back to buy another Z370/Z390 micro-atx board from another manufacturer such as Gigabyte, MSI, ASRock or Asus and check on their websites before your purchase to see if they do support your 9700K with early bios

Celeron g4900 came but still same issue. Tried a hdmi cable from my TV that usually connects to ps3. Now im SOL... I think it might be ram related. I remember if it was a neighbor or usps threw my ram that was barely padded next to dumpster. Only way it could get there is by throwing it. Maybe its damaged... I checked qvl on it. No problems so it could be faulty ram. Gonna borrow relatives 3600mhz ram and see if it works if it does my ram faulty

Now my quest continues to figure out whats wrong....

Update:

tried hdmi from ps3 to tv, did not work. Tried changing source.

Tried g4900 cpu. No luck unless its dead which means like 9700k maybe is too. lmao

Maybe I can use the i3 8100 but not g4900 or pentium gold cpus for this mobo.

I'm sure ram is dead cuz neighbor or usps delivery worker threw my ram next to the trash can. Can't figure what to do for now. Im sure there was little to no padding for this. Waiting on relative on his ddr4 3600 mhz ram and test that

My ram actually qualifies for qvl on gskills site. Ram is f4-3200c16d-16gtzb

Don't forget to return your G4900 
No way for you to test a 8350K or 8600K/8700K from a friend ? They will be directly supported by your mobo even with an early bios 

Ok fine, hope that all will work with your next 8500... Yeah i realize that Evga as regards motherboards is sooner picky with cpus and doesn't have a range as wide as the other manufacturers... I'm satisfied with my Z390 FTW which works flawlessly for 2 years 1/2 now, but i think that my next DDR5 mobo in the near 2-3 years will be another brand, easier to find in France, since i had to import that one... and less picky for cpu range wise... 
Indeed, if you had a Z370 Gigabyte/MSI/Asus/ASRock board, you wouldn't have encountered all those issues since they would have been able to boot up with your 9700K (even not recognized in the bios) and you just would have had to update it for a full recognition and would have been ok 

Yeah... Do you absolutely need a micro atx board ? Because if your next i5-8500 won't be able to boot up your z370 micro to make your bios update you could eventually sell it back in order to buy a full atx z370/390 one (they are more common) to at last enjoy your powerful 9700K 

Ok... you've got a mini case and you do like µatx boards... i hate them as well as mini itx... i only like full/standard atx and E-atx boards lol...
Tell us when your 8500 will be coming and your results... but if it doesn't work no other way to change your mainboard or if you really do want to keep it you will have to sell your 9700K back and purchase a 8700K/8600K which are supported
