Weird behaviour

[BoopityDoop]

System specs are below:

- i5-8600k @ 4.8GHz, 1.29vCore (stable)

- GTX 1060 6GB @ 2100Mhz (stable)

- MSI Z370m Mortar (mATX)

- Corsair RM750x (gold rated)

- 16GB 2666MHz HyperX Fury (XMP’d to 3200, stable).

- 60GB Boot SSD

- 2TB SSHD

- TP-Link Archer T9E

- Win 10 Pro

- Latest BIOS

 

Ok, so all of that aside: This weird behaviour is when the system is booting. The system will go through two complete power-ons before it will boot into windows.

 

So, after pressing the power button it will

1. Fans will spin up as fast as they want, then a few seconds later will stop dead (all LEDs, CPU & case fans stop spinning and the power LED turns blank).

2. After that the same will happen again though fans will spin up as fast as they can this time and the MSI bios logo will appear.

3. After a few seconds the system will boot into windows perfectly.

 

I cannot come up with an explanation to this whatsoever. No debug LED’s are being displayed during this, just the system completely powers on and off TWICE before actually booting, which is annoying, leads to me having to wait atleast 10-15 seconds  more than i should be.

If this happens only if the XMP is enabled, that means the motherboard is for some reason training the RAM on every startup.

That makes sense - would there be a way to stop that from happening, or would i just have to deal with it and the subsequent slow boots?

Try disabling XMP and manual set the speed of your RAM. I have an Asus motherboard but I imagine there is some similar setting on yours,

Increasing the System Agent voltage or RAM voltage a little bit may help.

Some motherboards have settings for RAM training so that it wont boot loop on start. Not sure if yours has it.
