Boot looping on my PC...

[Ortiz94x]

Hey guys I got an AMD build that's boot looping. I'm hoping you guys can help me troubleshoot this problem. 

 

Specs:

MB: Ga-990FXA-UD3 Rev 3.0 FC BIOs

CPU: AMD FX-6300@4.5GHz

Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo (Push and pull)

RAM: G.Skill RipJawsX@1866 10-11-10-30

GPU: GeForce 760 Zotac AMP!

PSU: 900w Antec High-Current-Gamer

SSD: Kingston v300 128GB SATA III

HDD: WD Blue Caviar 1TB 

 

Anyways I'm overclocking my CPU yes. No throttles no bottlenecks nothing wrong.

Temps never above 51 degrees. 

 

Everything runs smooth but it boot loops here's a video of what I mean. (Yes it's me) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qImGqNaoTik

 

Okay so THIS IS AFTER THE VIDEO I turned on the performance boost turbo whatever it's called and it gets rid of these boot loops 

BUTTTTTT the turbo messes with my stailty and causes my CPU to drop to 3.8GHz and only go back and forth to 4.6GHz when used.

I don't like that because randomly it will drop a few cores to 1.6GHz and it causes heat on my north bridge that I don't need etc.

 

My motherboard has issues when it changes voltages and frequencies from within Windows that cause throttling and such so I manually

clock everything to avoid overheating and throttles. Is there a way to get rid of these loops without turbo on?

Back off the overclock. I doubt you're actually on a stable 4.5.

Boot into your Windows disc. Hit repair, advanced options.

 

Open command prompt and do these 2

 

chkdsk /F

 

and

 

sfc /SCANNOW

 

 

Revert back to safe/stable voltages.

Have you tried just plainly running at stock no overclocks what so ever?

[typetheed]

The obvious thing is make sure you have the latest BIOS installed, and also, isn't that a symptom of "not" being stable after an overclock?

Need more info on your overclock.

 

Vcore,temps primed/stock, LLC settings and other settings in BIOS.

 

Did you test it with prime95 for 24 hours?

Is your PSU maybe failing?

[typetheed]

Boot into your Windows disc. Hit repair, advanced options.

 

Open command prompt and do these 2

 

chkdsk /F

 

and

 

sfc /SCANNOW

 

I seriously doubt this is a windows issue, and those 2 options take a loooong time to finish.

It is more than you would think.

I just repaired 4 of them that were brought into my shop

I was having similar problem. But my bootlooped only once. The culprit was that my CPU was overclocked to 4.8GHz. I dialed down the overclock to 4.3Ghz and now it works fine. 

[FlakeyBanana]

any chance you could post the stats of your overclock?

[Ortiz94x]

My overclock isnt the issue. It's done this from 3.5GHz up to 5.0GHz. Prime95 12 hour test no errors max temp was 55. 

 

Again, the boot loop is the only issue my overclock is fine... 

 

In order not to throttle even at stock speeds I need to manually clock my CPU. 

 

If I put any of settings on auto it throttles my CPU from 3.5GHz to 1GH to 4.1GHz this board is crap.

 

but here are the stats. http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/Ortiz94x/library/Overclock?sort=4&page=1

 

The only thing that stops the loop boot is turbo boost or whatever but that causes instability with this board.
