Ever since i had to reset the CMOS because of a overclocking failure. My Machine has been acting weird. It takes twice as long to boot. It will sit there with the windows 10 logo with the little white balls spinning turning the mouse and keyboard on and off, until it freezes and boots to windows. i don't get beeps from my beeper anymore, i tried to add some memory and that screwed it up even more, My temps are in check, the mid 50s to low 60s on the cpu. but my gpu does get a little toasty at around mid 70s while playing games. im not sure if its the motherboard or the bios or what. Please help. Im not sure if my machine is healthy anymore :??: . My specs are as follows

Intel Core I7 5820k @ 4400Mhz & 1.325
Asrock X99 Extreme 4/3.1
Corsair Vengance LPX 3200Mhz DDR4 16gb
NZXT Kraken X61 280mm Water Cooler
Gigabyte Geforce GTX 980 Ti G1 @ 1450Mhz
2 WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD's
Crucial MX100 512gb SSD
Samsung 840 Evo 512gb SSD
3TB WD Caviar Green
EVGA G2 850 Watt PSU
Corsair C70 Vengance Case
 
Solution
Maybe make sure the sata mode of the drive did not change in bios. Most likely it should be set to ahci. mode.
If it got set to a default ide mode it would be much slower but would still boot.
Please load into BIOS and load optimized defaults. Also make sure that the date/time in BIOS is accurate.

Here are the manuals for your motherboard: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20Extreme43.1/?cat=Manual

I'm using the American manual. Page 59 explains how to navigate BIOS, Page 93 shows what we need. Please use Page 93 to load UEFI defaults. This will undo any settings in BIOS that may be causing a conflict. Make sure to save changes before exiting BIOS.

I was just using one of the preset profiles in the bios, I just turned that off. I think that was the only thing changed but I'm not sure, also it didn't work, it still boots slow
 


I meant to go to the Exit tab across the top, and select the option to "Load UEFI Defaults". Then save and exit changes.

It's still taking forever to boot and it's still doing the same thing as last time. No beeps either
 


Pull CMOS battery again for at least 30 seconds, that will undo whatever went wrong in BIOS. It was probably a conflict between the UEFI defaults and the profile being disabled.

Well, all I have to say is, those were my specs anyway, it won't even boot now, nothing happens when I press the on button. So I guess its GG
