I did everything you just showed, as well as removing the battery and nothing worked. The PC runs, but no display. The graphics card is on - the fans are spinning. It was working fine until I stupidly adjusted the wrong settings in my BIOS

AA CODE ERROR???
7/19/2024 I too experienced a AA trouble code on a B550 Aorus Master w/ 5600x. What led up to this code was a series of crashes that I noticed first in the web browsers I use giving me the 'Aw Snap!' notice. Over the past few months I would get a crash screen and the monitor would go dark.

I didn't understand how this was happening because all my drivers and Win11 updates were all current and everything was running on all cylinders, so what's the problem? Well, after much research I narrowed down to a CMOS reset, and this kept failing, so what gives? So I took a battery tester and the 2032 CR battery was dead as a wooden nickel. So a quick trip to the store and repeating the CMOS reset process seemed to solve the issue...

I highly recommend you try this simple solution first before messing around with anything like flashing your BIOS, but be sure to go into BIOS and make sure everything is working and the BIOS is current or needs a flash, also double check your divers, this may or may not solve your specific problem, but it worked for me. Hope this helps fren.

Clearing cmos is not clearing bios its clearing cmos like it says and so you know it’s 2 separate chips bios and cmos

if you reset the cmos will it boot from the m.2 drive that i just cloned cause its not and the bios is not displaying correctly, I upgraded my hard drive from 1tb to 2tb i tested the cloned drive and its 100% healthy but it wont boot

I was just browsing then my pc crashed, when turned back on there was no display. What I tried was reseating ram sticks, cleaning them but that did nothing.

I think the CMOS battery is behind the GPU, I will try that and hopefully that’ll fix my “NO SIGNAL” problem because I don’t want to play around too much in case I mess something up y’know…. But hoping for it to work, otherwise… idk.

I done this and now my pc wont boot at all 😢

I removed the battery and tried the cmos reset, but it didn't work. It did work before when I had the issue before, but now when I try to repeat it it doesn't

My rgb lights came on after resetting but still having no signal when connecting to my monitor

What would be the next step? I just reinstalled windows 10 on my PC and everything went well until I changed the resolution. Directly after that I got a black screen with the message "input not supported". I tried numerous methods to get into safe mode but I can't find it anywhere. Someone told me to reset CMOS so that's why I'm here. I never opened a´PC before. Lol

[shibainuxdogocrash]
