When I turn my computer on, everything will switch on for half a second, then stall for around 2 seconds and turn back on again. During the stalling time, the red motherboard lights are still on. Recently, I have overclocked my i7-4790k with a very slight voltage change and when I tested for stability, it showed no signs of errors or crashing. I've had experience with 2 of this exact motherboard models and both did this. Is this normal? I also have the latest BIOS and drivers installed.

same parts but 2 mother boards? the same boards or 2 z97 but different brands?? any way it may be a bad part causing this and not the board overclocking is at own risk and can cause damage ... what psu do you use?? is it a quality made one or one that was cheap ??

The first situation was an i5-4690k with a Z97 Extreme6, the second situation was an i7-4790k with a different Z97 Extreme6. (Same model, but not the same exact board). I used an HX850 from Corsair.

Edit: The PSU seems to be of good quality and I'm pretty sure that's not the problem if the overclock passed Prime95's Blend test.

Same model, but not the same exact board-- did not know there was 2 types??

The PSU seems to be of good quality and I'm pretty sure that's not the problem ---- you may just got a bad one ??

if the overclock passed Prime95's Blend test-- ya so??


now how does it do if the bios is at its failsafe default settings that pretty much gives a stable boot??

The board's current version is 1.33. Also, what I meant with the 2 boards was that I used two Extreme6 boards (not the same board for both cpus).

Edit: I tried default UEFI settings and it booted up normally. And what I meant was that if the PSU can supply the CPU with enough power to achieve the overclock without stress test crashing, it should be fine?
