Hi, so my 4 year old custom built PC is having problems. I have done many tests to see if I can isolate it and have it concluded to either the motherboard or the ram.
The problem is my computer takes a long time (1-5min) to boot up and load the bios (bios image). This happened a lot until it finally stopped booting up my PC. Then I did a lot of troubleshooting, going completely bare bones with just power supply and motherboard and a dvi connection to the monitor. Still slow speeds. Then I started messing around removing ram and somehow got back to one stick of ram to slow boot my PC again. Whenever I plug in my other stick of ram, it just doesn't wanna boot up and I have to disassemble it completely, remove the motherboard battery underneath the GPU and remove the stick of ram I just added, to finally get it to boot up again. I have also tried with a spare power supply lying around, still giving me slow load speeds and a friend's DDR3 Ram which also gives slow speeds.
Not sure what exactly is the problem, any help appreciated. Here are my specs:
- ASROCK Z87 Extreme 3 Motherboard
- G SKILL DDR3 Ram
- i5-4670k cpu with a Cyrorig H7 tower cooler
- EVGA supernova 750 G3 80 plus gold
