What does "De-Assert CPU core voltage" mean?

[Jtardiou]

Hey starting a new thread for this question since the other thread I started was about CMOS post codes and might attract the wrong people

It gives me 9.6 in the post code which is "De-Assert CPU core voltage" - I have no idea what that means

Thanks,
JST

Better to e-mail technical support -_-

Probably some bastardized translation of

"Check CPU core voltage"

- M4H

 

[pm]

To assert a digital signal means to take it to it's "on" value. To deassert it means to take it to it's "off" value. I've never heard the term applied to power signals until now - just to digital communications signals.

I agree with AnnihilatorX - contact the manufacturer.

de assert means power to CPU is shut down progressively because of detected voltage supply prob
first thing is to make sure secondary power molex is plugged in to mobo - square 4 pin 12V or straight 6 pin
second thing is check that bios voltage set correct for CPU type

how do i check the bios voltage for the CPU type?

 

[Bozo Galora]

the settings are on the voltage control page in your bios, like thusly....

but since you gave no CPU or mobo info, specific help is not possible - right?
you also didnt say if it was a new build
