Hey guys just build the new system which is in my sic.


When ever i restard the pc, it does an extra restard

and if i overclock anything, it fails to boot and goes back to the bios.

cpu is stock

memory is at something like 2133 instead of 3000.

any ideas whats going on?
 
Sorry guys that 4.1 was from my old 2600k i got many years from ocuk.

cpu is 100% stock, will update bios to the beta version and see if it changes much
 
Bios update has done nothing.

Even with anything on stock, if i warm restart my pc it will completely die, then cold boot.

What could be the issue? :(
 
Could this be an issue with my memory? or something shorting something out?

Its rather annoying, can't even restart windows for updates as it'll just close windows, die, then cold boot and say its had to load defaults
 
Development, kind of.

With everything stock, my pc restarts from windows properly.

But as soon as i change ANYTHING in the bios, it crashes and restores to defaults.

I actually mean anything, like i turned off the gigabyte display logo.....it crashed, changed the boot order....crash.

I'll try removing the seagate hard drives tomorrow, but i dont understand how these could cause such an issue?

can't even overclock the memory just a tiny bit. 3000 memory running at 2100 :'(
 
Cheers guys will try the bios flash to an old fresh stable version.

i flashed it to the new beta version and it didnt do anything.

going to try and boot up with 1 stick of ram as well.

then take the hd's out

if none of that solves anything then i'm going to cry at the money wasted
 
But i really can not be bothered to strip my pc down again :'(


So heres an update.

I flashed the bios, tried the beta and the primary. Nothing changed

I took both the hard drives out, nothing has changed still can not overclock or anything.

Now going to try removing the memory see if that helps
 
I really feel like screaming now!

I think the motherboard is undervolting the memory and cpu, but when i set it to 1.35v the bios dies and resets.

hmmm
 
If i only overclock the cpu. Fail

If i only overclock the memory. Fail

No idea what to do, now going to stress test the cpu


FML
 
Okay this is strange.

I changed the settings in the bios and saved, and just before it restarted and crashed i turned it off. I then left it a minute started it up.

Now im running at 4ghz and 3000mhz memory according to cpu-z. Just stress testing then going to restart pc and see if it keeps the settings or dies and loads defaults.


p.s thanks everyone for the help and advice, wish me luck
 
DAMN

After it overclocking fine, restarted, crashed, loaded defaults. I couldnt get past the restart to optimised defaults screen :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:


I'm occasionally getting this error

BlInitializeLibrary failed 0xc0000001

What the hell is that?

Sorry about the swearing. I'll stop it.


Yeah the ssd is set to achi.

I'm going to change some sata ports just on the off chance and take out the bios battery see if i get lucky. I've also opened up a support ticket with gigabyte and surely this is a bios issue?

Which Bios are you currently using?

I've tried the original and the new beta bios.


nothing works. I've just been stuck in a constant restart loop until i took out the bios battery. :rolleyes:

Think it needs to be rma.

Which means i can't do any work, or play fallout

This same issue happened to me the other day, turned out I restarted my PC manually when I was downloading a driver for my 980ti and the computer didn't like it at all. Kept making me boot defualts, so I deleted all drivers and reinstalled from website.

Maybe you just made a small mistake in that respect and your settings are a little messed up?

Did you turn off the computer while downloading graphics driver or mobo etc?

I have basically the same system just the KFA2 Hall of fame 980Ti instead and a super flower 1000w Platinum

Hmm this could be, my memory is so bad i can't remember but i'll have to give it a try.


I have had some luck though, i downloaded the beta bios from a different mirror and put it on, and now i have xmp working!!

Don't dare push further :(
 
I think i may have found the issue, but im not too sure guys what do you think.

I went on to the gigabyte website and looked up what memory is supported for my motherboard (x99 sli) and my corsair cmk16gx4m4b3000c15 is lot listed on the supported memory modules.

Could this be causing the issue?

Cold boot failed today, had to go into the bios and reset into xmp again

It is not possible for board manufacturers to test every different ram module.
The only way to tell if it is the ram, is test every stick individually using memtest.
You still never answered the question on the age of your XFX Psu.
I use HWMonitor when stress testing, as it shows your Psu voltages, so you see if it is out putting correctly. Worth checking.

Sorry man, if i remember correctly its only a few years old, got it for my 280x tri-x crossfire setup before the 980ti

Spoke to a lovely gentleman from ocuk tech team and he advised me to set the xmp profile to 2666 which is now working perfectly.

I can restart my pc without it failing at post.

I can r.m.a the ram if i want, or wait for a new bios update that covers this ram. What should i do?

Might contact gigabyte and ask them what the situation is

Just to add that I get this exact same thing with my Giagbyte board (not the X99) and for the life of me I cannot resolve it.

It seems to be a board/bios issue.. yet to diagnose.

for me i just had to lower the memory speed.

Hoping for a new bios sometime in the future

Download and install, then just run it. Or you can use windows memory test, although I think Memtest64 is better.

Came back with no errors

Looks like i'm just an idiot and didn't check my motherboards compatibility list before buying ram :rolleyes:


Thanks for all the help guys, i'll post here again when i hear back from gigabyte regarding support for the corsair lpx 3000mhz

Will leave a review stating its not supported
