Odd boot behavior.

[Jaxion08]

A while back I lost power and only had my pc plugged into a surge protector, no UPS. (I've got a UPS since then) When I got power back and tried to boot the motherboard lit up and fans were spinning, heard the pump come on, but nothing on the monitors and nothing on the keyboard. After screwing around for a while I noticed the CPU fans were spinning up and down, so I left it for a little while to see what would happen and finally the attached screen (will edit post from my phone to attach image momentarily) showed up saying something about overclock failed, press F1 to run setup. I hadn't messed with overclocking this system yet, but I went into the BIOS, double checked and saw all the voltages and everything were still stock (pretty sure the only thing I'd messed with before were the CPU fan curves), did a save and exit with no changes, and the system booted fine. Since then it's been fine, still running great, I just let it go into sleep mode and it wakes faster than the monitors can turn on. A normal restart seems fine, but if I actually shut the system down when I turn it back on the same thing happens again. Fans spin up and down several times, shows the "overclock failed" screen, go into BIOS, exit without changing anything, and then it boots up fine. Before this my system could cold boot in like 20 or 30 seconds (don't remember the exact time) Is there like an over-volt detection that got set off and now it keeps seeing that every time I cold boot? If so is there anything I can do about it? Maybe clear the CMOS or do a firmware update? Something else entirely? What's the dealio?

 

 

Also, I've noticed that for some reason in the BIOS it reports my RAM as running at 2400 MHz even though it's set at 3200, but when I check with CPUZ it says 1596.8, which being double data rate equals 3193.6, so I guess it's at the correct frequency, the BIOS is just reporting incorrectly? I think I recall noticing the same thing when I first built the system as well, so I don't think that's related. I'm probably behind on my mobo firmware - I remember hearing stuff about firmware for Ryzen boards being updated and getting better a few times, but I wasn't having any trouble and didn't feel like messing with it.

Is your bios up to date?

[Jaxion08]

I don't think so, but it was fine with the bios that was on it before losing power. Probably worth a shot though.

What bios version are you on? There have been several large bios updates to that board fixing many issues. I'd try updating the bios to the 0805 version, the AGESA 1.0.0.6a fixed A lot of bugs for me on my ryzen build.

Yea, I'm still on version 0515. I'll give it a shot

Updated to version 0805 and looks like everything's good again!
