boot loop PC starts and then stops and starts again loop, please help

[HunterShadab]

Hello. So I was using my pc normally for about 10 minutes and then pc froze and nothing was responding, no keyboard mouse response. I reset the pc and it was boot looping ( starts and stops and starts and so on). So i removed the cmos battery and then pc is working normally again. My question is what could be the issue? I'm guessing it could be xmp issue.

 

Some settings i was using before in bios:

Intel speedstep, Eist, voltage optimzation, rth = enabled

xmp 2400mhz = enabled

memory fast boot = enabled

fast boot = enabled

 

After resetting the bios, i've disabled all the settings that i've mentioned and currently running the sticks at 2133mhz. Can someone give me any information on what could be the issue, thanks.

 

 

 

My specs:

Intel i5 10400f

Gigabyte b460m d2v (edit from 360*)

16gb corsair vengeance 2400mhz

Long boot times and failed boots could be RAM training (and subsequently failing). If resetting CMOS and running at 2133 fixed it, it could also mean the RAM training didn't happen and didn't fail again.

 

However, are you certain your specs are accurate? The 10400F physically won't fit in a 300-series motherboard since it's LGA1200, not LGA1151.

I'm really sorry, its actually 460m d2v. And i was already using the pc without any issues. The rams were new however, got it 2 weeks before but i was using the pc with xmp without any issues until today. However with the ram set to default speed, it's still running at 2400mhz without xmp, maybe jedec speed. So im still afraid whether or not it will happen again. For safety measure, i've turned off fast boot and memory fast boot from the bios and set all the intel downclock features disabled.

Edit:

I've been using the pc for around 12 hours now without any issues. Should I be worried and take precautions? thanks

Sometimes BIOS gets wonky sometimes. if resetting the BIOS fixed it, and it's running at the RAM's rated speeds, I wouldn't worry.
