Strange symptoms

[Noobie22]

Hi! 

 

I just build my first gaming rig with help of this forum. Everything went great, pc booted, installed windows etc.  Now im facing some issues. Bios wont remember the settings I saved, so everytime I switch off power supply from the computer It doesnt want to boot to the windows because it doesnt remember the boot override settings(none of the settings)(problem with cmos battery?)  . Next issue was found a few hours ago when I launched benchmark program and didnt even run the actual benchmark and computer didnt recognize the monitor and decided to boot itself(crash) , did this a few times but didnt always boot itself, just went black screen so I had to force power off the machine. And last issue I found was that the machine started to get some serious fps drops when I ran the configuration wizard on bios which clocked cpu a little bit, like 3% Could this be a problem with motherboard and its components?

Please post your configuration (CPU, Drives, motherboard model, etc).  Although some answers might be generic, having this helps.

id say RMA the board

If you removed and replaced the CMOS battery in the process of changing things around, make sure that you got the battery inserted in the correct direction (polarity).  BIOS won't save settings if the battery is inserted incorrectly.  Trust me, I'm speaking from experience from the days of yesteryear.

Yeah but still it doesnt explain the other issues, i quess

Yes, this sounds like a faulty motherboard. Contact the Motherboard's company support.

what psu do you have? And yeah it losing your bios settings sounds like a cmos battery issue, check that and also why are you flipping the power off at your psu?

The reason I asked for spec's was because I suspected it was a Ryzen machine.  This is a CPU that happens when Ryzen crashes.  It doesn't blue-screen, it just dies (Jay2Cents has a video on it when OCing Ryzen).  My 1800x does the same thing when pushing it too hard, it will run almost everything fine when overclocked but under a synthetic load, like CB, it black screens.

This is my biggest issue.  Asus Auto overclocking utility sucks.. like dangerously in the frying hardware way.  It got my 1800x to 4.3 ghz (yay...) at 1.55 volts (wtf) and said it was safe.  Reset everything to default and do things manually.  You didn't list your RAM, but if it's around 3000mhz at c16, setting the profile should be enough.  If you want to OC your CPU, there are many ways do it do and lots of step-by-step walkthroughs on YouTube for Ryzen.  Just look up safe voltage numbers first and take everything with a grain of salt.

 

Setting your Memory OC to what it's rated for really would be my suggestion for a starting point rather than OCing the CPU.  My 1800x gets more performance at 3400mhz ram at stock cpu than running at 2966 at 4.1ghz (cpu oc) in multithreaded applications.  Single core (aka gaming) is a bit different, but by less than 10% FPS.  Currently I'm running at a middle ground, and it seems to not crash Adobe Media encoder on long encodes, so I'm happy.

Does the same crashing with all setted to defaults on bios and only crashes on certain prgram
