Boot Problem. Need help!

[Andster29]

About two months ago my computer started having power issues. I sent in the power supply under rma and got a brand new unite. I have since tried booting the system and it either turns on for like half a second and then shuts off or gets stuck in a loop and does not completely post. I sent in the motherboard and put the new one in with the same problem. I am staring to think it is the power supply. Does anyone have any other ideas?

 Have you tryed checking your Hard drives I have some issues of the sort but its cause of my Drives and the way they are configured.

you could try to take everything out of the case lay the mobo on its box connect psu install gpu, ram, hdd. cpu+ cooler offcourse, and fire it up outside the case.

Maybe there is a screw, or bended io shield lip which causes short cirquits.

No. I had the problem with a brand new drive from the factory.

So they did a clean install aswell?

Correct

Correct 

 

okay so yo get complete power shut downs? or just computer restarts? cause that makes sense., if you get complete power downs, so the fans stop spinning aswell, then there will probably be an power issue. if the system stays on, but just keeps rebooting, then there could be something with your hard drive, or your windows installation, is currupted.

My debug led will say 77 witch means nothing and then the matrix will turn off but the one fan I do have connected will continue to spin. The debug led never gets past the code 77. Have an Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z

Check if the startup & restart pins aren't shorting each other, do check it at both ends. reply back if its the issue.

This is not the issue. I am using the on board buttons.

can you boot it up "without a hard drive" to get to bios atleast? Maybe it's the hdd.

@Andster29   PCH DXE Initialization (PCH module specific)

Call up Asus and let know about it and see what they can do to help you get past it.

I already have. That is when I sent in the motherboard and get it back. The issue started happening with the new power supply that had been from a rma. They told me the motherboard was fixed and was working when it left the center.

Just tried this and I continued to have the same issues. I also tried the classic shorting the load pin to a ground pin with a paper clip. This did not work as well .

Do you think the issue is the power supply? Since the issue started with the new power supply and everything else has been replaced and is new. I am currently trying to barrow a friend's so I can test this theory out.

Technically there's loads to be done & it's going to take a lot of time & you're going to be irritated. Best option now is to see if your hard drive boots up on another system & make sure hard drive & it's data is secure.

 

Here's few to do list, hope it'll help.

 

Start by placing it on a cardbox or test bed if you have one

 

Reseat all the Wirings properly & recheck/start

Reseat the CPU in the socket & recheck/start

Remove the graphics card & go with on board display port & recheck

Swap ram modules for a similar ones or reseat it properly (make sure its in the right dimms)

exchange the powersupply & check

exchange fan or add some new ones

Remove all optical drives & recheck

Swap keyboard & mouse & recheck/start

Swap UPS or swap monitor itself.

Check whether the cpu socket pins are bent

Swap the main processor itself

 

and more....

 

Do post back tommorow, just take your time & dont over do the fix in a jiffy. & Good luck you'll need it.
