Overclocked PC turns on, then off, then on again and boots into windows.

[crazysteve240]

Whenever I turn on my PC, it first turns on, then off, then on again and boots into Windows. This also happens if I sleep it and then wake it up later. My system is overclocked with basically everything set to auto in the bios except BCLK and CPU multiplier. BCLK is 103.3 and the multiplier is 45. Any suggestions?

 

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7‑2600K

COOLER: Hyper 212

MB: Asus P8P67 Deluxe
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600
GPU: Sapphire HD 7870 GHz Edition

PSU: Thermaltake TR2 600W

So let me get this clear when your pc is not overclocked this does not happen?

Haven't actually tried that.

not too long ago i had this exact same thing, but with my ryzen based system.

Update of the bios fixed that for me.

I have the most recent version of the bios.

Reset all the settings in the BIOS and check if the same thing happens. If the same thing happens we can say that it is not the fault of the overclock.

Did it by chance started happening after you upgraded to this new bios?

If not, try setting everything to default like @TheTallGuy sort of didnt suggest?

I think it only happens sometimes or maybe after a long period of it being turned off or slelpt. I just turned it off and on just now and it didn't do the same behavior.

Also I should mention that a while ago I kept the CPU multipler at 44 and it didn't do this behavior.

Then the overclock is not stable at 45, with automatic voltage. When I overclock my system I always do manual voltage instead of automatic. Try to find out what the voltage is the chip needs at stock. Manually set the voltage to that number and then slowly increase the multiplier until the system is not stable anymore, then slowly increase the voltage.

yup its the overclocking problem. To be more precise, its the ram timing problem. Your motherboard is experiencing difficulties with the current ram timing. But this is nothing too unusual so you should not be worried. Try turning XMP off then it will boot smoothly.

But, that also counts for the boot-up behavior? It doesn't crash at these settings and I don't think I haven't seen any BSODs or WHEA errors either yet.

When I got it it was on the latest version of the bios.

What is the most time you have ever run a benchmark on your computer, and wich benchmarking program did you use?

I don't think there is an option for XMP, nothing under Ai overclock tuner. There is primary, secondary, and tertiary options for ram timings though.

I ran AIDA64 for like 10 minutes.

Ok, I'm just gonna set AI overclock tuner to auto and see where that takes me.

And.... did it work?

I lowered the BCLK to 103 and I think that fixed it.

Nice to hear you fixed it. That does mean that it was the overclock you applied that caused this boot problem.

The blk is his problem set to 101 and thats the highest you should go your lucky if you have an nvme drive you can corrupt it or just have all kinds of pci bus problems..
