I have searched and cannot find an answer.
My PC build

Corsair Crystal 570X RGB ATX
Mid-Tower Computer Case

Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming K7 AM4 ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Ryzen 7 1700X 3.4 GHz 8 Core AM4

Corsair 16GB 2 x 8GB DDR4-3200 PC4-25600

Corsair Hydro Series H110i Extreme Performance

Gigabyte AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB

Windows 10 64 bit Home

2 SSD's, 2 Hard drives

850 Gold Rated PSU

I have been having problems with booting and now hard crashing. I was using Unigine Heaven 4 at
4k maxed with a Graphics Card temp of 68c. There are no over-clocks on any components The screen froze on the loading page and I had to reset my computer. I had just ran the same benchmark with no problems. PC is also running cool.
When I went to reboot I could not get a POST screen or anything else. I ended up having to disconnect all Drives except the boot drive and then it booted. I also have my memory set to XMP 3200 and it is the good memory made with Samsung memory. Any ideas? I have had to remove all drives but the boot drive on occasion when booting. I also have a LG 6300 4k/43 inch TV as my main monitor.
I already solved the flickering screen issue but now this.
Thanks for any input!
I am running the F4 bios and also Nvidia 385.41 drivers.

Thanks for your input. I wanted to come back here and post what happened because so many people that have an issue and it appears that they fixed it, but they don't come back and say if it worked. You asked about my PSU. It is a Thermaltake Tough Power Grand RGB 750 watt 80 plus Gold series. The BIOS update did not do much that I was able to notice but I did notice that my mouse pointer worked much better. I used to not be able to use it in the BIOS and it was very sluggish when I had you-tube in full screen. I got all my drives back connected ( I use SATA 6 gig for all my drives but I know what you are talking about). So after installing the latest BIOS I shut down and reinstalled all my other drives. It booted just fine.

What psu exactly? =maker+model
What ssd's/hdd's are you using? Might be that with a pcie drive one (or more) of the sata ports cannot be used and you try to.Need to look better into the spec of the motherboard for that,but so can you. ;)

Do let me/us know what the bios update does.:)

It booted just fine.
I decided to go ahead and run up to best-buy and buy the latest Oculus Rift. While I was going through their set up program my system froze again. I restarted it and now I had the exact same problem accept this time removing all the drives except for the boot drive did not work. I could not get a post on my screen, even with no drives. I was so pissed that I moved this computer and hooked up my previous PC. It booted once and when I went to reboot it, it would not visually post either.

I have a GTX 780 in that one and I remembered that sometimes I would lose my picture and have to mess with the HDMI at the graphics card end. I always had just assumed that it was the graphics card getting old and that it was worn on its HDMI connector.
Then it dawned on me. Try a different HDMI cable. I put my new system back, found a "monster" brand HDMI' and now it boots just fine. It might stop the next time I reboot my new PC but I have rebooted 5 or 6 times. It is amazing how the simplest problem got overlooked. Sorry for the long post but this may help someone else. I am gonna say it was the problem and that it is solved:) Peace!

Hey Vic 40,

Just wanted to chime in and say that I have had no more problems.It also shows the post on my 4k almost immediately so it was the HDMI cable for sure. Peace!!

Just ironic that you had a bad cable. They do happen for sure. What is wild, many reviews that I've ever seen say don't bother with monster or whoever, to basically get the cheapest cable you can, because if they under 6 feet long that basically as long as they are they same standards etc, there should not be a difference in signal quality etc since the signals are 1's and 0's. That being said however, it's certainly possible your old one developed a short. Well done finding the issues.

Yea, it is crazy and I always thought the same. That there was an ISO 9000 program that any manufacturer had to adhere to but that made the difference and I have still had NO problems since changing the HDMI cable and my Oculus Rift touch has been working just fine as well...
