BIOS Mystery

[MrChing]

Hey guys I really need your help. 

 

So recently I just built a new computer and first time boot I ran into a continuous BIOS loop. The only screen I ever see is attached.

 

Specs: 

 

Gigabyte F2A88X-D3H

Nvidia 750ti

AMD Athlon X4 860K

Kingston HyperX Ram (2x4)

 

Things I have tried:

 

Resetting the CMOS and removing the battery

Using slower RAM

Trying every slot of RAM

Switching out an older CPU

Removing all unnecessary hardware

Trying every usb port

 

The most interesting thing is that my buzzer indicates that the systems correctly posts and signals that all systems are good. 

 

What do you guys think the problem is? Again the only screen I ever get is attached.

[Thx And Bye]

Its shows that you have dual BIOS, does this happen with the other BIOS too?

what other BIOS?

I assume you've tried every button on the keyboard, correct?

yes

what if you pulled the card and hooked to onboard and spammed the del key on boot up?

what onboard? it's an athlon

 

yes

 

it looks like your bios is only partially loading. I suggest you give it a few minutes to see if it eventually loads. If it does, and it takes that long even after a reboot, something in your system is probably not responding properly - we can try and troubleshoot it later. If even after 10-15 minutes nothing happens, you may have a doa motherboard.

 

Also, be sure to check all power connections - that can't hurt.

If I just leave the system on it will restart; the power actually doesn't turn off but the fans quiet down and my keyboard light goes out. A few seconds later it boots back and the blue screen appears

i thought you might have had a cheap apu with on die graphics. ( you said you tried another cpu. )

 

build the thing outside the case. maybe a short somewhere.

i currently am building it out of the case; both cpu's produce the same results

buy a new board.

i just looked that board up. seems a few people have had dead ones from the giddy up.

 

also the bios might not be the one to support your 860 out of the box. you can try an rma. i'd buy something different.
