Hi all,
Since building this PC in June I have had boot issues, it seems to boot loop. The LCD display on the mobo gets to varying stages before restarting and trying again.
Everything is at stock speeds.
I have tried swapping the ram from channel A to channel B, tried removing one stick and trying each stick separately but no luck. I ram Memtest and everything returned fine so no issues with the memory.
I have unplugged all HDDs and only had my SSD boot drive plugged in with all USB devices apart from the keyboard and mouse in.
The issue is not always present, some times it will go for days if not over a week without an issue and then it will just randomly not boot for a while, powering on and off, sometimes it then boots other times it just keeps looping so I turn off the PSU and turn it back on and it then occasionally boots or goes into the loop again.
I am unsure what might be causing this so was hoping for some input from yourselves before sending back random parts for you to test and potentially find no issues with.
Once booted into Windows it is absolutely fine with no stability issues, just on boot.
Fast boot is disabled although it didn't help when it was enabled.
Any ideas?
