PC requires multiple restarts to boot up

[MrWhiteSirr]

I've recently wanted to start a server project so I built a secondary PC to run my servers.

 

The parts in the pc are a combination of both used and new parts. Once the computer is on, there is no problem with it and it runs completely fine. But as soon as the PC needs to do an update and restart or I just turn off and on the PC, It takes 1-3 restarts to get it working and gives me a pop up message.

 

I attached that pop up message to this post. I've looked online to see if I could answer the problem on my own and most of the suggestions are about the power supply.

 

I had once thought that and I realized I had a shit PSU in it and upgraded to a corsair power supply that's rated bronze and after doing that I still got the same response from the computer. Any suggestions????

 

PC specs follow:

Radeon r9 380 (USED FOR 4 YEARS)

i5-6600 (USED FOR 5 YEARS)

asrock z170a-x1/3.1 (USED FOR 5 YEARS)

corsair cx550m (NEW)

8GB RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series DDR4 3200MHz (NEW)

2TB HDD (NEW)

120GB SSD (NEW)

Odds are it's the RAM. Did you actually set an XMP profile for 3200mhz?

Holy shit that was it. Just went in bios and removed the profile and set the max for 2133mhz. Thank you so much!!

No problem. So it seems that board can't handle 3200mhz memory. Not entirely surprised. That was early days for DDR4, not a top flight board, and people didn't pay much mind to memory speeds on Skylake anyway as they started to once Ryzen came out.

 

If you wanted to put in the effort you could dial on speed and timings manually and at least get better than 2133mhz but it's honestly not going to make a big difference.
