Motherboard issue? or something else?

[Veloni]

Hello techwizards, i need some help.

About a year ago i upgraded my pc from Intel 9700k + 16B DDR4 to AMD 7900x + 32GB DDR5.

Ever since then i've had a couple of issues with the PC, both having to do with booting.

 

1. sometimes when i boot up the pc, eveything is just stuttery and i mean everything, even just moving my mouse is stuttery.

First thought is that it's a driver issue, but over the year i've tried every solution i have been able to find and nothing has fixed this issue.

When it happens, i have to shut down the pc completely and then start it up again.

 

2. Sometimes when trying to boot up my PC, it goes to BIOS instead, closing out of BIOS would cause the PC to reboot and start normally so i never bothered doing any real troubleshooting for this.

Today this happened again and i noticed that my boot drive wasn't detected at all.

 

I'm not that tech savvy but i started thinking, could there be an issue with my motherboard that's causing both of my problems, or do you guys have any other ideas for what might be causing them?

BIOS is up to date. Any and all ideas are appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

Side note, since the upgrade, every time i boot up my PC, the fans run at high rpm for 10+ seconds before the PC actually boots, i remember googling this some time ago and found someone saying it's normal,

so i just accepted it, just to double check, is it normal?

I am not sure about your main issue, but I can at least assure you that its normal, fans will normally run full speed until it POSTs, at which point your BIOS has loaded and your fan profile is applied

MSi is know to have issues with their BIOS. Sometimes updating the BIOS helps and then again sometimes it doesn't. You might have to use an older BIOS for stability.

As @BillBill wrote, update your bios if you can,

You could check your ram with TestMem5 or better Memtest86.

You could replug and reseat everything or at least double check everything is seated to the end.

My MSI PC doesn't do the high rpm, but I did set the fan curves in the Bios. Also set the fans as either DC or PWM.

Thanks for the suggestions, checked the seating of everything and tested both sticks with Memtest86 and got no errors.

Try killing dwm.exe from task manager (it will immediately reload) and see whether that works too.

What settings is your memory using? If the PC fails to start with specific RAM settings, it may throw you into BIOS directly (possibly reverting RAM to some default settings in the process). I've had systems that would not cold boot with certain RAM overclocks, but would boot when restarting from BIOS just after applying them.

Have you tried re-seating the SSD in its place?

M2_1 I think is CPU connected PCIe lanes. 

 

Just off some of the issues you're experiencing....I thought I would just mention that I spent months chasing gremlins on my PC...

I thought it was either my GPU or Motherboard that was faulting..I kept getting weird stuttering and performance problems. Tried swapping out memory, gpu, psu, motherboard, nvme drives..(thankfully i have a LOT of spare parts). 

Then one day the PC just stopped even reaching POST. It just would not respond. Took it into a shop....CPU had died. 

Turned out it was actually my CPU had been faulty since day 1...and after about a year it eventually degraded so much it just completely failed. 

 

Moral: Though rare; faulty CPU's can be a thing.
