Hey guys,

My month old build went bust it seems. It's a i7 5920 , asus rampage v, 2 gtx 980's 4gb vram, 32 gigs of crucial ram, and a 950 gig ssd start up. And a corsair I beliebe 1200volt Power supply. The case Is the cool master Stryker.

Basically what happened is, the computer was sleeping over night. I went to wake it up today. It wouldn't wake up. The computer would start to boot then stop, start to boot again then stop. i fully shut it down, tried to boot again and it did the same thing. I fully shut it down again, and then boot. It booted and took me to the mother board set up screen that said "over clock failed" press f1 to enter set up. Which is weird because I never tried to over clock. I then entered the set up and exited out. After that, my keyboards stopped working and it took me to a screen with a red box saying "secure boot violation invalid signature detected. Check secure boot policy in set up." Since my keyboard isn't working I cant press enter. The thing is I have gotten this secure boot violation error before, but I press enter and it just boots normal. I never worried about it before because I googled that error and it was said to be a common bug in Windows 8...

So what is wrong? It sounds like to me it's either the mobo, power supply, or wiring inside the case...the fact the keyboard isn't working prob eliminates the start up disk or cpu I guess?

I didn't build it, micro city did , and I would like to trouble shoot it before I lug this massive thing there. Plus I have a project I am working on. What a disaster. I should of stayed with Mac...12 years of Mac Pro Use and never once a single problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys and sorry if I'm panic - ing a little.

Send it back. That should never happen. If you want a good quality computer PM me and I can build you one thats as good or better than that one and it will not be having those problems.

Its supposed to be help. Sorry for the misunderstanding. The computer should not be doing that. It could possibly be a bad BIOS. And if the computer wasnt overclocked when you got it and you didnt overclock it then that means somethings up with it. It would just be easier to get a replacement that works than spending hours a day trying to get it work.

So, I have new information. I had two keyboards plugged in. A Logitech g710, and a Razer Black Widow Ultimate 2014...while both were plugged in at the "invalid" boot sector screen neither worked, but I unplugged the Razer Keyboard, rebooted and it INSTANTLY booted up perfectly. No hang, no invalid boot screen, no overclock failed...could it of been too many keyboards? I also had 2 usb 3.0 external hard drives plugged in. One of them was usb powered. Plus I had a flash drive, Xbox wireless adapter, 2 mice - one Logitech and the other razer...so did I overload it? My Mac Pro had that problem when you had too many things plugged in, it wouldn't boot until you unplugged some sfuff.

So to further update...I plugged my Razer keyboard back in. left the Logitech unplugged, and rebooted. AGAIN, rebooted in seconds...So I think it was the external hard drives on top of too many keyboards and mice that caused this problem. Plus those external drives are Mac Formated drives. I use Mac Drive so I can edit off Mac drives I get from clients. Mac Drive is amazing, but I can totally see why it might create boot problems because natively windows might think those drives are broken or "invalid"... On my old computer my anti virus software would think Mac Drive was a virus....Any other thoughts from anyone?

@KeelinTy - see why it's not good to over react! You wanted me to go through the trouble of sending my entire computer system back without any trouble shooting. You wanted to perform open heart surgery when I just had a cold! ha
