Hello,
I've had a ton of problems earlier with almost everything (I had written threads and posts about CPU Cooling problems, CPU, GPU, etc.) and they don't seem to end...
This "issue" is not new, I think I've had something like this very rarely a long time ago, even a couple months after building the setup overall. It was built around August / September 2016, year and little more ago.
The problem is the following:
When I start / restart the PC usually everything is normal.
But sometimes the "Power ON" process starts cycling for a couple times (1-2 seconds all Fans startup, Motherboard LED Trace lighting, GPU LED, etc.) then everything powers off again for 1-2 seconds.
After usually 1 or 2 more cycles everything starts up fine, booting up in Windows, restarting, getting in the BIOS - No any sign of a problem. This is sometimes normal when disconnecting and reconnecting USB devices, power off for a little bit longer or something. The Gigabyte Motherboards check components, devices, RAM, etc. before starting up and restarts a few times I think.
But here is one "but" - After 5-6 restarts / starts or around 2-3 days I get very strange and weird problem. When starting up: Black screen for ~ 20 seconds, no "beeps", only the LED's and the Fans are working.
Then I get one short beep (Like starting up the PC), the "Gigabyte" logo shows up then boom - "Boot failure detected. The system has experienced a boot failure possibly due to incorrect configuration. Previous setings in BIOS may not be compatible with current hardware state."
I have 3 Options to select: Load optimized defaults then boot, Load optimized defaults then reboot & Enter BIOS.
When I enter the BIOS, hit 'F10', go to "Save changes and Exit" or "Discard changes and exit" (Then reboot) I can restart the PC, Stress Test, etc. all day, even a couple days just fine, without any problem.
This "issue / thing" is some sort of like common on Gigabyte Mobo users. I have done research for hours, found only that other people most likely have similar issues with other Gigabyte Mobos. Not found yet any help or fix for resloving this, which is very annoying and strange.
For reference (I've tried):
- Reseating the RAM modules;
- Getting out and clening the GPU with compressed air very well;
- Testing one by one the RAM modules for errors and such under Windows software and Memtest86 separately;
- Cleaning the Motherboard, disassembling the case panels and almost everything while checking every single cable and connector;
- Test the PSU in another setup;
- Testing and checking the SSD (Boot device) and the HDD's (Storage, Games & Software) with many tools and software;
- Reinstalling all drivers (And the OS) couple months ago;
Cleaning the CMOS battery slot and resetting the BIOS Settings from the jumper / BIOS menu doesn't help at all. I'm losing only the settings, boot devices order and fans settings...
I've played with almost every setting in the BIOS, nothing seems to make any difference.
Bay the way I've enabled X.M.P around week ago (Because I have 2666MHz 2x8GB RAM Modules and I want to make use of the full potential) - This increases a little bit the performance and it's stable like rock. I can run CPU stress test (Prime95, AIDA, GPU Benchmark / Stress Test) for hours or days and nothing will crash / freeze.
This does absolutely nothing to the Mobo "issue" and the Boot Faliure. Overclocking the CPU (6700K) to 4.2GHz also does not lead to any crash or issue. But I prefer 4.00GHz, stock frequency because I don't need higher than that for now.
And also the Mobo's default VCore (CPU Core Voltage) is 1.250v which for me is just a little bit high. I've set it to 1.200v, the temps are 1-2 degrees less and this has no impact on the performance and stability.
Like I said - I did these changes, because of personal preference and to increase the performance and stability. This is 100% equal to the Default settings (In terms of crashes / boot faliure) and I have the problem even without touching a single setting in the "BIOS Optimized Defaults" (Except the boot device order, of course).
So... I think that's the longest post I have ever written.
But seriously - If anyone have experience with Gigabyte motherboards (especially) or with such problems - any help and opinions are highly appreciated!
