Gigabyte Motherboard Debug Code "C0"? What does it mean?

[EpicSurvivor]

So I updated the BIOS on my motherboard last month. Since I built this Computer I haven't had any issues with it other than some Sound issues which were a common problem with this board, however I fixed that long ago. It was built February 2016.

On my LED Code on the MoBo it reads "C0" the manuals description says "Reserved"

Is my Computer trying to warn me something is wrong or is about to be wrong? I had 1 issue forgot to mention while playing Battlefield 1, the Game Freezes Completely! forcing me to restart my Computer CTRL + ALT + DELETE won't work or ALT + F4 won't work or even ALT + TAB won't work.

Other than the CODE saying "C0" and Battlefield 1 Freezing, I have NO ISSUES with any of my other 27 games.

Any Ideas? Someone said "C0" means BENT Pin on the CPU/MoBo but I haven't touched the CPU since I built this Computer?

PS HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! I

Same EXACT problem. Right after I updated to the latest BiOS recently, I went from A0 to C0. Took out my CPU, vacuumed the inside for dust particles and even put a brand new coat of arctic silver. Nothing changed. Everything seems to work fine for me as well. This is really annoying.

Let me know if you figured it out!!

Did you update to the new F20 BIOS which states "for next generation CPU"?

If so, there are a lot of posts out there detailing the current issues with it.

If your system is stable, I'd just ignore the code and hopefully Gigabyte will release another version soon. If not, there is a way to roll back to a previous BIOS version, but there are extra steps involved.

There's a link in my #7 post talking about how to do it.

Yes I also Flashed to BIOS F20 Sorry I didn't mention that on the OG Post!
I Have NO Performance Issues what so ever except for a Blue Screen of Death (Dump File) 1 time since building this Computer in February 2016. The only other issue that has happened maybe 3 times is when playing Battlefield 1 the game will FREEZE 100% Nothing will work, not even Alt+Tab, Cntrl+Alt+Del.... only Reseting the computer works. Other than that the System runs flawless!

My main concern was that it was Displaying an ERROR Debug Code and figured it was reference to something about to go wrong. But if its just a GLITCH from the F20 BIOS then It should be fine. Just going to wait for the NEXT BIOS update.

"UsandThem" Thank you for your suggestion. In case there is need to downgrade/flash to an older BIOS I will use your reference.

There should be a new ad campaign:

'Friends don't let friends flash their Gigabyte LGA1151 motherboards BIOS to version F20'.

Glad it worked out for you.
