Hey guys, built a new pc here are my specs
GA-Z97x Gaming 5
Intel i5-4690k
16 gb Vengeance 1600mhz ram
Samsung 850 EVO m.2 SSD
Msi radeon r9 390
running F6 bios
Thermaltake toughpower 750w gold
So everything was working fine, was able to cold boot and everything normally, i got bored one night, read a little about ram overclocking and decided to mess with it in the BIOS a bit.
I just upped the system memory multiplier to make the ram 1866 instead of 1600. Didn't change the timings, didn't change the voltage.
I saved and reset and it wouldn't post. I turned everything off manually and restarted the pc, again nothing posted.
I cleared the CMOS using the jumper, no post. Removed the battery for a few minutes, no post. Removed the ram and put one back in, and it came up with a "Boot failure detected" and it gave me the option to go back to stock settings, which i did. I put the other ram stick in back to the way it was before and even after resetting the bios back to original settings, no post.
I then cleared the CMOS one more time, started the pc back up, and just hit the delete key to get into the BIOS. This gave me a "boot failure detected" message again, this time i went into the BIOS and checked on all of the settings, everything was factory reset, i then saved and reset and it booted into windows.
I'm able to restart fine, but when i shut down my pc and turn it back on i have to spam the delete key in order for the system to give me a "boot failure detected" message, then i'm able to go into the bios, then able to save and reset and everything boots normally.
If i don't hit the delete key, the system never posts nor does it give me a "boot failure detected" message, the fans spin, graphics card lights up but i get a no signal detected on the screen.
Just to clarify, everything works perfectly fine once booted. The only time i have this problem is when i cold boot. The settings are back to stock, nothing overclocked.
Is there any solution? Did i mess some hardware up when i changed the multiplier? If so, how does everything run perfectly fine once booted? Would updating the BIOS help anything?
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
