as of yesterday i have had a booting issue. every night i put my computer into sleep mode so i can wake it up nice and fast in the morning. normally this isn't a issue. yesterday and today however my system boot loops 5 times before finally deciding to stay on. i am baffled as to why it does this. there should be nothing wrong with any components as my system works perfectly fine when started up and it is protected by a ups and extra power surge protector off of that. the only things i can possibly think of is that my overrclock voltage might be high straining power delivery. my cpu is degrading due to overcloking so high for so long. or my motherboard is begining to call it quits.

 

all helpful advice is appreciated.

I do not think it's a power delivery issue. Have you tried going into the Windows Event Viewer to see if there are any critical errors?

If not, then it can definitely be narrowed down to a firmware or hardware issue, not a software issue. If it is, please report it so that we can help you further.

Noticeable CPU degradation rarely occurs (unless you're pushing a crap ton of voltage or are using LN2 or some exotic cooling solution).

What is your motherboard model?

my motherboard is a Asrock fata1ty Z77 professional. currently set manually to 1.300V on the cpu. the only other peice of critical info is that this mb and cpu combo have take a power surge back in 2013 that unknowingly to me at the time killed my psu so there might be some damage from that but it still doesn't explain why it is suddenly a problem.

Probably not the power supply. Probably not the CPU.

I'm gonna go with motherboard, but I'm not sure. Again, have you gone into Event Viewer to see any errors?

nothing seems too far out of place. plus all of this happens before the system goes into bios so idk why you would think there is anything is here.

Yeah, so I'm going to go with motherboard. Def a firmware or hardware issue (although since it does eventually boot into Windows, I'm going to go with hardware).

brilliant deduction there kim. oh wait i already knew it was a hardware issue! why else would i list off 3 major hardware components that are possibly suspect?
