Hey guys,

I've had a Titan 8700i Pulse from OCUK for nearly a year now, great PC; the last few days i've been turning it on, it's come on for a second, then turned off, then turned back on and off again, then eventually loaded and said Overclocking failed, press F1 to run set up, I pressed esc and it works normally once we're past it. Any idea what's caused it? I haven't installed or changed anything with it recently.

It can happen, if you pop into the BIOS, Press DEL on start-up and once in the BIOS towards the bottom of the screen it should say press F11 to load CMOS from BIOS - You should see a list of the saved overclocked profiles, load, save and reboot.

did yo up the vcore as part of your OC. Overtime I think the cores degrade if you are running more vcore thorugh them resulting in having to up voltages to maintain a previously stable OC.

would it not be better to drop the OC a little, as what your saying it the CPU is dieing.
 
I've no idea about any of the overclocking stuff, I brought it already overclocked from OCUK so surely that should be alright?
 
Tried entering the BIOS, no many how many times I pressed delete it just went through to overclocking failed :(
 
There should be a option to allow you to get into the BIOS from there, if not can you continue booting into windows and then do a restart and hammer the del key!
 
You may need to try a CMOS reset, you can do this by shorting to pins together on the motherboard.

If you check the manual this will show the location of the CLR_CMOS header which you short.
 
Can you undo the thumb screws and just double check it's the Asus board and not a Gigabyte? Were you pressing the Del key roughly twice a second the second you pressed the power button?
 
When it says overclocking failed, can you not press F1 or F2 to enter the bios?

Its something like that when i've seen it before.
 
Hey guys, got into set-up, had 3 options, put it into normal and it started normally, left it like that all yesterday. Just turned it back on, put it back into overclocked mode and it's still not starting up properly
 
would help if you can list full pc specs or a link to the bundle

and what its clocked too

seems like a cold boot issue to me,usually memory voltage/setting related
