New PC - On and Off prpblem

[OliverPewPewPew]

Hello Folks

 

I built my PC 4 days ago. It's for work

 

The first and second day went smoothly. I did not experienced any problem what so ever.

 

The third day, I shown some problems. I turned the pc on, then after a couple of seconds it turned off. On and off, On and Off. So I pulled the plug. After a couple of tries it finally booted. The day went by without any issues. So I thought since the pc is new, the components are probably just getting acquainted of some sort ;p

 

Then today. It happened again, this time it took a long while before it completely booted. I even had to open the CPU and remove the cmos and ram. That didn't worked (I removed it for a couple of minutes, probably just 3. I got impatient). It didn't worked after that.

 

The PC just booted after a little while.

 

It's very similar to this video.

 

Here is the Build of my PC,

 

Corsair H110 Hydro Series CPU Cooler

Corsair AX860i Digital ATX 80PLUS Platinum Modular Power Supply

lga2011 Intel Core i7-5820K 3.30-3.60Ghz 6-Core

Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4gb/256bit ddr5

1tb WDC Caviar Black (WD1003FZEX) 64mb sata dual processor hdd

GSkill RipjawS 4 32GB (8GBX4) DDR4 2400 / F4-2400C15Q-32GRK

Samsung 840 Evo Series 250GB

Gigabyte X99-Gaming G1 WiFi LGA2011

 

Help, this thing scares me. Specially that this PC is a bit expensive and I use this for work. I'm a freelance 3D Character Artist.

I keep on getting the "61" error code.

[Bussinateur]

Stop all your overclocks and reseat all your RAM dimms. Boot into BIOS to see if all your ram is accounted for.

My system is not overclocked. What do you mean by Resetting the dimm?

If you mean Interchanging the Rams, or using 1 ram, then 2 ram, then different combination. I did that already. I even tried one by one. It's still giving me the error code.

 

Could it be the Video Card? But that would be odd since the motherboard and Video card are both gigabyte.

did you install the heat sink on the processor correctly? flush on the cpu and all 4pins "locked" in as they are supposed to be? Did you put that on with the board out of the machine so it was easier to see what you were doing and able to see the back of the board ( pins ) ..?? was there thremal grease on the heatsink?

 

do you have the 20/24pin and the 4/8pin power connectors firmly seated into the board?

 

pull your HD. (disconnect )

 

 

unplug machine/reset cmos. ( or pull battery for a minute/replace. try reboot.

[Skreedles]

Do you have enough gigawatts to power the flux capacitor? In reality it could be a power supply issue.

I did all that correctly. 

 

Also, once the PC successfully boots to windows, I don't have any problems what so ever.

I'm sure I have enough power. It's 860watts.

What case are you using?

 

My feeling says it's something to do with your case. Maybe poor quality.

 

Did you put on stand-offs on the case before installing the motherboard?

 

Also, I notice that you have 4 RAM modules installed. Take 3 of them out and try if it boots now. If it does, you need to go into the bios and change the RAM speed to 2400 manually. I had a PC shut off at the same time interval as you have because of this detail.

[OliverPewPewPew]

@Redpalmtree - that is not my PC. I noted that it's just similar to that. ;p . I also tried that RAM interchanging, trying each one out. Still have that problem.

[LabRat]

is the boot sequence set up right? Is raid disabled in BIOS?

[DimasRMDO]

Have you checked the BIOS? Just to see your CPU temperature.

[Redpalmtree]

Okay, good to know.

 

I'd still like to ask you: What case are you using? In some cases you'll have to screw on stand-offs before applying the motherboard. If you don't, it might cause a short circuit causing it to shut off.

[Bussinateur]

Try removing the H110 Watercooling, and put the stock Intel Heatsink on. Make sure all four pins are in the holes and then twist each in the direction of the arrow. 

 

I guess your CPU is running too hot, and it is shutting down to save itself

[OliverPewPewPew]

I double checked the CPU and Motherboard Pins. Everything is fine.

 

Here is what I observed this past 4-5 days that this is happening.

The problem occurs when the PC is not plugged to an electric socket for a while.

Yesterday I tried closing the PC and unplugged it. Then did some things around the house. After an hour or so I plugged it back then the problem occurs.

I wonder where is that rooted.

 

Note that when I'm passed the booting phase and windows loaded. I don't have any other issues.

Maybe a faulty PSU? Try a different one if you can.

Guys, yesterday I uninstalled Corsair Link. Today my PC booted without any problem.

Is it safe to assume that it's Corsair Link that's causing it?

 

We'll see tomorrow if the problem will occur.

[LabRat]

what is corsair link?

[hypnodog]

what is corsair link?

I can't really describe it on my own, so I took this from the Corsair website:

Corsair Link integrates your case fans, lighting, and compatible Corsair power supplies and Hydro Series liquid CPU coolers into an ecosystem that works together for optimal cooling and performance. It gives you an instant summary of how your system is performing, and you can monitor the temperature of your components and program Corsair Link to automatically adjust cooling to meet demand.

[LabRat]

could be the software. did you try uninstalling it? might be fighting it out with the stock" fan settings in the BIOS.

[OliverPewPewPew]

yes, I uninstalled Corsair Link.

 

The next day I booted the system, it booted without any problem.

 

Corsair Link, is also a usb devise that Links your motherboard to the PSU via USB dongle .

 

This is the second day that it booted without any problem. So I guess it's same to assume that corsair link software is causing it. 

Anyways I don't need it. Gigabyte Apps has all those functions. 

[LabRat]

there you go. an easy fix. good for you.
