Maximus vi hero. 4690k. Random power off!

lukexj · Feb 18, 2018

Hi everyone. This is my first post so please bare with me.

My pc has just started giving me trouble. When I'm using the pc it will randomly power off with no warning. Load seems to make no difference. It once powered off while I was in the bios. After power off when I attempt to turn it back on it will turn on for about 1 second then power off again.

I have tried two other power supplies and the same problem occurs.
I have tried 2 different processors, g3258 and the i5 4690k.
I have set all bios settings to default and turned off all c state features.

All temps are fine as per hwmonitor.

My current setup is as follows,

Asus ROG maximus hero vi (bios version 2.10.1208.)
Intel 4690k
8gb corsair ram
Asus strix gtx970
Adata 120gb ssd (os)
Two 750 gb hdd in raid 0
Corsair cs700m

I am starting to think my motherboard has died. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to proceed from here. Anything I should try from here.

I'm still new to computers but it's becoming a hobby of mine.

Thanks for any help everyone.

Hi, Try testing with graphics card removed.

Tried removing the graphics card and rebooted. No change.

It could be the motherboard, then. Try replacing the board's CMOS battery with a new one, but not sure if making any difference.

lukexj :

It died within BIOS? That's not something I hear that often. It does put a lot of strain on 1 core(why does my CPU temp. always get hotter in the BIOS?) so the CPU might, VERY BIG MIGHT, be unstable.

I see you changed the c-states which is a power saving feature. Why?

When you go into your BIOS do you see a health monitor? You need to find the 12V reading. 12.0 - 12.5 is the safe zone. Is the reading steady?

Sorry for the late reply everyone, i haven't had a chance to have a look at the PC. Will have a look at the voltages in the bios when i get home tonight. As for c states, i read online someone said to try that so thought i would give it a go.

I don't think its a stability issue as it doesn't crash as such, it just turns off like it was unplugged and then wont turn back on. I am however happy to be proven wrong if i can fix this thing haha. These boards are hard to find around my area.

Thanks for the help.
