Google is your friend. MSI doesn't list those officially.

I found the list in the manual. Because of the number of digits displayed at boot up, I expected a much larger listing. I had looked there before. Not sure how I missed it.

I just assumed a chart like that would be readily available online. This is my first MSI so I have never had digital codes to lookup before. And I have always been able to find a list of beep or blink codes on other boards.

Just seems odd that I would have to rely on forums and Google for one code at a time. Why would this list not be posted under the Q/A for each board?

Sorry if I seem irritated. I have either a bad cpu or a bad board and between juggling cpus, ram, and mbs, trying to figure it out, I've had just about enough of fixing other peoples pcs.

That is a great document. Thanks for sharing it.

I have the A88X-G45. I think the BIOS is to old for the one CPU and I think my other mb is bad (ASRock FM2A78M-HD+)

I already returned the CPU once. It boots up and runs for about 2 minutes and then locks. Sometimes it will even lock in BIOS. Seemed like a CPU issue to me. And I had a slower dual core that seemed to work fine in it. I updated BIOS and with the new CPU all seemed ok. But then it started getting more and more lockups until its back to locking within minutes of boot.

I switching all hardware over to the MSI MB now to see if the lockup issue continues.

Sorry I wasn't actually asking for help on the system. I haven't switched everything over and booted with the "other" hardware. I was only asking if there was a global list of all debug codes. I overlooked the list in the manual and it has been confirmed that there is no complete list posted per mb on the site.
Thank you everyone for your time.

both them boards have AMI based BIOS versions so the codes should be the same type of 2 digit hexadecimal codes!

what CPU and Memory do you have there?
