I had this issue after only a few days boom.

I removed the battery and left it out over night, popped it back in the following morning and booted fine.

Will try this mate. I can't even boot into Windows anymore.

I turn the PC on I see A9 or something in bottom right corner, monitor light goes blue, as if their is a signal but just a black screen..

Tried re seating memory, took battery out for about 2 minutes, put it back together and have the same issue.. Yay lol.

Will try leaving the battery out for a few hours next. Currently using our stone-age Laptop :D

Will have a proper go and sorting this tonight when I have more time..

Yep that's exactly the same i had with the A9 in the in bottom right corner, leave the battery out for longer and give it a go.

I've just opened a returns thread for mine.

Im REALLY familiar with the A9 fault - laughs - but usually got it in conjunction with A2 and B4 lol alternating on the same bootup

I know its early days but I never expected it to be THIS painful for everyone

Really hope you get it going again - but I would return it if I were you

I still have a feeling /hunch that its more than bios issues with this board

Cheers guys, yeah still no joy. I'm going to try and remove the battery, or is their easier way to reset cmos?

Will replace the memory in different slots etc, try and get to go into bios. Not gonna get a chance to try things out until tonight. Weird because it has been fine up until past couple days, I think this happened before the update as well, I just didn't think anything of it as I was running an OC and didn't want to change settings only turn the fans down. Since then I've updated and cannot get into bios at all. Black screen every time.

Still running fine within Windows, really weird, not had this before lol.

Try mixing the sets of memory together and trying that, seemed to fix my boot problem on my RVE :)
 
If I put the memory in the dark slots i don't get a display light on the monitor. It seems to be totally fubar tbh. There isn't even a jumper to clear the cmos.. Removing battery for few hours didn't help. The last time I got into Windows I tried to flash to an older bios 'F8' but it failed. Now I don't get anything. no boot up at all.. No Windows.. Occasional a blue light to indicate there is a signal, but no bios post screen, no display..

I think this board is gonna have to go back..

Anybody know how to clear cmos without jumper thing?

What's the board you are using?

Have you mixed the memory and tried that?

If you have 4 x 4GB, so you will have 2 matched sets, take one stick of each set and pair those together, and try and boot up with 8GB in dual channel, then add the second 8GB, this solved all my issues :)

not sure about everyone - but my ddr4 came in one set of 4*4GB - not sure how "matched" they are in regards to pairing.

They should all be just as good together no matter which goes with which other one.

(unless I have mis-understood what you were meaning)

Yeah mine came together, but when i first used them in my system, i had no stability, couldn't boot into windows, removing the battery didn't help, updated my bios which also did nothing.

That memory trick i tried was the only thing that cured it, just an idea, wouldn't hurt him to try :)

Started to get the urge to throw this pos mobo out of the window :p

When you say try 8GB in dual channel, where should I put the 2 x 4GB slots,

I have 8 slots, 2 light and 2 dark on either side? I'm trying to understand what you mean by mixing them, where should the first 2 x sticks go, on either side or the same side?

Cheers, bud.
 
It won't even post with 1 stick of memory in slot ddr4-3_1b. So I'm guessing we can rule out the memory. This seems to be some weird bios thing. It's like it's corrupted somehow, I get no post, nothing. Blue monitor light will occasionally pop up after 400 or 500 self re boots..

I think I will start an RMA lol.
 
So far have tried,

1 X stick in '1B'
2 x stick in '1B' + '1D'
4 x stick in '1B' '1A' + '1D' '1C'

No joy, tried randomly putting sticks in different slots after and nothing lol..

I found a jumper from an old IDE drive, and cleared the CMOS still nothing on power up, no post or anything. Blue light on monitor shows their is display but black screen..

I've taken the battery out and will give it one more try either later or tomorrow. If it's still not working I'll RMA. didn't get it here. I'll order something completely different because the other X99 Gigaybyte boards look to have similar layout, no cmos button etc..
