Bootlooping on Z170

[Uden Beater]

My pc when bootlooping when I turn on my pc. i can't even see the window loading screen. I can't even access UEFI.

Things that I have try and what the result I got:
- I have try change the ram = still bootloop

- I have try change the OS drive = still bootloop

- I have unplugged my GPU and use onboard graphic = 1/3 of booting I able to access to bios and window

- I have try reinsert the cpu = still bootloop

 

Things that I haven't try:
- I haven't swap the cpu because I don't have any z170 compatible cpu

 

My motherboard still have warranty. that's my final option

I hope you arent plugging in both GPU's. That itself can easily cause an issue.

 

Also what cooler are you using on the CPU? You didnt say if it was properly being cooled. 

 

Otherwise turn the computer off, turn off the power supply, then take the battery out of the motherboard located around the PCIE Slots. This should Reset your BIOS and fix any potential issues.

 

Then With ONE stick of ram, the CPU only (HDMI to motherboard) try seeing if you can fully boot. Then Get into windows and see if it will work. IF this doesnt work then you may have a bad CPU or motherboard.

I forgot to mention in I try testing with both GPU.

 

CPU cooler is ID Cooling FrostFlow 120

 

I don't remember if I have try taking the battery out.

 

I will retest first.

Update!

I have take the battery out and it work so far. 

 

For stress test the pc, I use prime95 for 15 minutes and 1 restart. I don't know what the cause.
