Computer Overclocks when not overclocking and won't proceed to Windows 8.1

Vote4Kpak · Nov 23, 2014

Hi guys, so I have a serious issue that I need help on. I recently built a computer to play Far cry 4 and it worked perfectly fine until one day after playing the computer completely froze at the desktop. So naturally I rebooted it and it said overclocking failed! However, I wasn't overclocking my system. Well after I enter BIOS, and make sure it's all on default settings I go to boot into Windows. When it boots Windows 8.1 it goes straight to a black screen. I'm at a loss on what to do, any help would be more than greatly appreciated! Is it something to do with the motherboard? Or the Ram? Or maybe the CPU? Thank you!

Specs:
ASUS Rampage V Extreme Motherboard
Intel i7- 5930K 3.5GHz
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2133 Ram
Radeon R9 295x2 GPU
Rosewill Hercules 1600W Power Supply

Remove your OS drive and see if it posts. If not post back with the post code per http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

If it does post, then Windows is corrupt. Start up in Safe Mode (F8) and do a Computer Repair per http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode#1TC=windows-7

So I removed the OS drive and my computer did POST. It gave one beep that everything was good, so I'm going to do a repair and let you know of the result, thanks for the help so far!

Good luck.

Okay so I did all what you said and it worked! But, every time I try to download the driver for my graphics card it freezes all up again when it's try to download the display driver. And when I reboot I'm back to the same problem I had up before. Do you have any suggestions to that?

So your graphics driver isn't installing properly.

Bad drive? Virus? Enough drive space? Reliable internet? Doing a clean install?

It's a brand new drive, I have no virus on my computer, my internment is very reliable, and I just did a clean install of windows and everything. Is that what you mean by clean install?

Graphics drivers clean install - where all the previous ones are uninstalled.

i7Baby :

Oh yes, I did, I made sure every thing AMD related was gone so my new ones could install.

Double check in Uninstall Programs that there's no old drivers left there.

i7Baby :

Yup, there is no old drivers in there. It's all clean.

Do a Checkdisk (Google it) and a Virus Scan (eg Avast, Malwarebytes)

I checked the disk and there was no errors or anything wrong, and I scanned my computer for viruses and there was also none.

Uninstall CCC and reinstall drivers. Then try.

i7Baby :

I just did, and even on a clean install of Windows it still froze on Installing Display Drivers. Is it a problem with my Graphics Card?

Starting to look that way. Try yours in another PC. Try another card in your PC.
