PC Crash on Cold Boot.

Testosteroxin · 14 Mar 2015 at 00:34

Hey Guys, wondering if any of you can help me, or have heard of a solution to this problem before.

So I Turn on my PC first thing, or after an half-hour/hour break and the chances are it will crash on Desktop.

It doesn't always happen and after the first or second boot runs fine.

I think it might be the Motherboard. I purchased the Devils Canyon bundle from OC, (i7 4790k with Maximus Ranger VII).

I did have everything optimised/overclocked using AI Suite 3.

Disabling Fast boot didn't work.

Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Could be memory issue?

You could do a few things:

checkdisk on the only hard drive of the computer

Testing individual memory sticks one at the time

Unplugging every hardware pieces of the computer and clean/reseat them

Updating or/and reinstalling drivers of a lot of stuff

Stress testing the CPU and the GPU, system stable after 1 hour of stress test

See if that any of them helps

It could also be a PSU problem- Have you got a way of testing it?
