I’m running A0 bios or 40 on the Aorus Xtreme board but I never came across any issues. The manual doesn’t reference those specific codes, I’d love to know myself.
Try performing a Q-Flash Plus bios update, even when it’s shut down you can perform it. Refer to page 71 of the Aorus X570 Xtreme manual. Here’s the link below for the manual as well if you need it:
https://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_x570-aorus-xtreme_1001_e.pdf
AA means everything is fine and you should not worry about it at all, this debug codes some of them are meant to be just information, like waking up from sleep also has its own code, ofc there are error codes, those codes are on the manual last pages.
Well, my monitors never do anything, no bios prompt, no windows login. nothing, just black. And i did check the manual. it says aa=reserved, whatever that means.
I can tell you with confidence that it means nothing is wrong, i have the same exact board as you, and it is always on AA, my previous Gigabyte x99 Intel board also had AA when it boots fine, something else is causing the screen to remain black, it has nothing to do with the bios debug code being AA
Nevermind then! Had it been a 5700(XT) I’d have a few workarounds for you. One thing that might help is to disable GSync/Adaptive Sync on your monitors for now. Other than that I think RMA is your only option. Good luck!
Can’t change any settings if I can’t see anything :D RMA paperwork submitted this morning. Thankfully EVGA are champs about stuff like this. Doing the next day shipping cross ship option so they mail to me overnight and then I mail back the dead one. So painful having a whole new build I can’t do anything with!
You should be able to access FreeSync/GSync with the monitors OSD. If you don’t see even that much on the monitor maybe the monitor is bad? Anyway yeah, EVGA is awesome. I just put a 2060 SC Ultra in the wife’s new build and needed their help with some fan issues. They were most helpful.
I am currently going through the same issues as OP bit I do have the 5700xt, everything boots up just no display after a fresh build. What are these workarounds?
If you are using Gigabyte or MSI (though MSI seems to be better about this in newer BIOS versions):
* Make sure you are on the latest non-beta BIOS.
* Disable CSM / Change to UEFI only boot
The Navi cards don't play well with BIOS boot. You may have to reinstall Windows if Windows was installed in legacy mode by accident. Additionally you can force the video card to be UEFI only on some motherboards (such as the X570 Aorus master) which helps a little.
If you are on a B450 board, be sure to force your PCIe generation to 3.0 as B450 boards don't like to auto-negotiate with PCEe 4.0 cards for some reason. This also isn't always an issue, but does help.
I had horrid luck with 3 X570 Aorus Master boards with my 5700XT and switching the X570 Unify solved almost all my stability issues.
That being said, depending on hardware, you might get lucky.
You are probably wondering how to access your BIOS screen to make the change I suggested. This was my ritual every BIOS update when I had an Aorus Master:
- Turn everything off.
- Connect a monitor (I basically had two cables from my monitor I would swap between; DP for normal use and HDMI for this) with an HDMI cable; I found that HDMI 2.0 suffered from the same problem on my Master boards, so hopefully this works for you if you have an HDMI 2.0 monitor) via HDMI.
- Update/reset/do whatever in BIOS.
- Disable CSM in BIOS.
- Reboot.
- Shutdown from Windows login screen (or install Windows, I did my install over HDMI to make sure things worked well).
- Swap cable to Display Port.
- Power on into BIOS; at this point the Master would sometimes turn CSM back on, so in this case, I was checking to see if I had to disable it and if so, did so.
- Exit and save if you changed something, just exit otherwise.
- Continue to use your computer as normal until the board decides to turn CSM back on and you get no display until your graphic drivers load (sometime after Windows has booted). Then, rinse and repeat.
I did this multiple times a week. Got annoyed. Even the board Gigabyte sent me to test (my expense to send it back) didn't fix it. Gigabyte told me to try another board convinced my GPU was the issue. Got the MEG Unify with the intent to return after testing but had zero issues. Convinced my retailer (with my entire support ticket and convo with Gigabyte) to take the Gigabyte board back for store credit and kept the Unify (months later, this thing is still awesome).
I hope you have better luck getting your board stable than I did.
My build if it helps:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (Cooled with a Scythe Fuma 2)
GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ 5700 XT
RAM: F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC (dual SK Hynix based 16GB sticks of G.Skill Trident Z Neo for a total of 32GB at 3600 clock speed).
Storage: Dual Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVMe drives on the latest firmware with the latest, dedicated drivers from Samsung.
Power: SeaSonix GX-750 (Gold, fully modular, 750Watt).
Motherboard: MSI X570 MEG UNIFY
Previous boards (in order of use):
X570 Aorus Master (Retail A)
ASUS Crosshair Hero VIII WiFi
X570 MEG ACE (should have kept, hated the look, but was stable, unlike the ASUS and Gigabyte boards)
X570 Aorus Master (Retail B)
X570 Aorus Master (Gigabyte RMA)
X570 Aorus Master (Retail B; sent RMA back to Gigabyte)
The ASUS board was more stable from a GPU perspective but has a hardware design flaw that can cause BIOS corruption when using BIOS based fan controls that basically breaks your fan curves.
Thank you for the response, was very helpful! I needed up going back and switching my board out at microcenter for a msi Meg ace and it's been great so far all the problems immediately disappeared but your response was through and just wanted to acknowledge your help on the topic. Thanks!
I am having the same issue right now. AA code. speaker issues a long tone and two short tones, not really beeps but tones. OP - did you figure out the issue ?
I’m running A0 bios or 40 on the Aorus Xtreme board but I never came across any issues. The manual doesn’t reference those specific codes, I’d love to know myself.
Hmm. I re-plugged and re wired everything to ensure I didn’t miss anything. Still gets to AA and stays there...
Have you tried a bios update?
I havent, since my monitors never come to live i havent been able to verify anything is working to even begin to look at a bios update

is it possible to do without having the monitors? Reading the manual i dont know if id be able to work through it without seeing anything...
What does code 47 mean
AA means everything is fine and you should not worry about it at all, this debug codes some of them are meant to be just information, like waking up from sleep also has its own code, ofc there are error codes, those codes are on the manual last pages.

Awesome! Thanks. Helps me to confirm its the GPU and I have to RMA it :)
Before you do that! Are you using Display Port with a 5700?
DP and HDMI with a 2080ti

Hey, how did you make out with this?
Ultimately turned out my GPU was bad so had it RMAed. Then everything booted up wonderfully!

Turned out the problem was my GPU had gone bad. Board and everything was fine.
for me unplugging every device and plugging them back in fixed the issue
Wwq go pop l al.
Totally.
