Well If I just do a restart or shut down ands not power the switch off it seems to work fine unless it is like a cold boot after it being off all night..

OK I can try switching those off but your last question has me wondering. the PSU I do turn that off at the switch on the PSU, so you are saying it is normal for the PC to do the issue when booting up if I turn the power off at the switch after I turn off my PC? I do that because the restart issue only happens when I do a fresh boot like the day after when I turn on my pc after having it off all night.. but if I just do a restart it is fine when doing that also..

Yes, that is what I was thinking that it has to be memory related.. I did test them one by one and in all the slots it did the same bootup issue.. I have 2 sticks of DDR5 for a total of 64GB. I can check the sub timings but not too sure what they should be.. I did set my LLC to high not sure what ither setting to change there either.. I will have to do some digging I guess to see what these settings should be at..

OK I toiled with it for about an hour nothing I did worked. I tried loosening the timings and change the voltage manually. the only thing that works is when I set the XMP PRofile too off and just use the regualr setting for the memory.. I am unsure what else to try. I really had a near meltdown a few times where the PC would not even boot.

well I tried messing with the voltage settings that did not help. I can mess with the timings and I am familiar with the process so it should be no issues I will try and loosen them up a bit. I will report back in a bit.. thnx

Well, that is the thing I have done all that and only when I turn off the XMP Profile the PC coldboots normally even while the CPU is still OC to 5.5ghz.. I am am not sure why it does this only when the XMP PRofile is on. so fault lies there but it could be incompatibility with the RAM ir the IMC is being funky..

Well I had another PC do this 2 systems ago. In that PC 2 systems ago I tried another PSU and it did the same thing.. so I am a little leary in getting a new PSU as this one is a decent one. it is a corsair RM850e..

what did you change with GPU Tweak?? is that specific hardware based software for asus or similar?

yes I know but the assembly is going to take some time.. Yes well it was close but I thought It was the correct dial.. but a adverted a disaster..

1. Yes the default Momory settings and timings.. 2. No I did not adjust the memiry besides turning off xmp and just default settings for memory.. I might send it back still undescided..

Well the tech help is wanting me to RMA the board so they can inspect it. I am really not wanting to do that at this point. I fear either they will do somethnig to break it or just say nothing is wrong with it. I am not even sure what else can be done. I did find out when I disabled the XMP PRofile while the CPU was still OC I did not have the bootup issue.. So it is memory related but not sure if it is the slot, the memory or the IMC?? But I do not want to be without a pc for up to 2 weeks, I could reassemble my old PC but I don't have a windows for it.. and I really dont feel like assembling it and then dissassemble the reassemble the new pc haha!!

ok I will check and try to adjust it but not sure it will do anything but maybe it will thank you LucShep.. EDIT: Well I tried setting the DRAM Voltage and it still has the boot issue.. I think I am just going to have to RMA the board. as I do not have money to buy a new cpu and memory to test it.. thnx guys..

well if it happens so be it but I guess I lucked out, so I am guessing I got some really bad intel.. will not mess anymore as I looked in the BIOS and it is not clear well at least to me what setting I should adjust..

\I had found out the memory voltage is called CPU System Agent Voltage, I set that too 1.40v and it still had the boot issue.. I am pretty sure something wrong soewhere but not exactly sure if it is the ram slots or the imc?

OK I thought I had it but the XMP Profile was not loaded but when it wasn't it booted normal even with an OC on the CPU. So now I need to find out which setting is for the Memory voltage then I can set the manual volts.. Getting closer.

yes I pulled the CPU a few days ago and everything there looked perfectly normal and I put it back in a looked and worked good besides the reboot issue.. Thing with not having other parts is it could be either the memory or the mobo. I really want to avoid RMA'ng the board if possible.. I was going to get a new monitor but now I am unsure if I would like to try other memory or get a different mobo and RMA this one.. EDIT: On second thought since I put the memory in the other slot and it worked it has too be the ram slots.. if it was the memory it would have behaved the same way when I switched it.. so know I am wondering should I get a 43" or 49" curved monitor?

Ok am going to try with 1 ram in slot b2 and see what happens. if it boots ok maybe it was a2 that had an issue.. thnx man.. EDIT: Well I tried the B2 single slot it still had the boot issue. I am wondering if I had no issue in the 1st two slots but then it had issues in the 2nd slots could that mena a problem with the Ram, IMS or the slots?? I am thinking maybe something with the IMC as there are two of them on this chip, I think I read that in the Article LucShep linked above,

I tried with the 2 sticks in the a1,n1 slots altho I got the memory in the wrong slot error message it seemed to have booted fine and I am pretty sure I had trhe xmp profile loaded up.. I will retest a few timmes and see if it cold boots but it looks like slot A2,B2 are not working properly.. Will need to test a bit more to be sure.. hang tight!! EDIT: Well I cold booted it an 2nd time and it fired right up so maybe something amis with those other slots.. looks like I might have to rma the board..

Well yes I have the patience but not quite sure what steps to take? I did try running just setting the XMP Profile after setting everything to default and had the boot issue. I also tried running OC on the Memory a little slower then the XMP Rated Profile.. I also tried just OC without an XMP PRofile and If I remeber correctly I had the same bootup issue.. So with that being said what else should I try to do at this point?

LucShep, Yes I had optimised defaults loaded then I set the OC and such over a span of two weeks until I had it dialed in. but after I set the OC and XMP PRofile and such settings I then get the boot issue. I do not get it when I load just the optimised defaults on a cold boot, it boots normally then.. I hope that makes sense or I explained it right..

Well the CPU is perfect and no bent pins or dirt or anything like that. it could be a memory incompatibility but some other user has the same issue with the same board and he thinks the OC and XMP PRofile are bugged or similar.. I too don't think anything is wrong with the parts or anything. I had a similar issue and that board was an MSI so who knows. I just dont want to find out the day after my year is up for warranty I think and have something go south on me or cascade to a bigger failure.. LucShep I beleieve it does not have the boot issue on a restart usually on a coldboot only.. Gigabyte wants me to send the board in on an RMA so they can have a look at it but I have my reservations on they mess the Pins up and try and blame me then it is a he said she said issue I would prefer to avoid all together or even worse be without a PC until they find out what is going on with the board and then they determine nothing is wrong akkk!!.. I will just live with it as my other PC was fine for some years with the same issue.. Personnely I tiink it their BIOS causing the issues.. one last thing the PC does not exhibit this behavior when I set to optimised defaults.. it will boot just fine then so who knows..

I had changed the PSU on my other PC that exhibited this behavioir and it still did the same thing. the PSU I have now is the newest one. Yes it has the 2 digit readout and the 4 lights and it shuts down when the display is on the DRAM light and C5 is the last display, I checked C5 it was no code like reserved or similar..

Hey Guys, I am on my last leg here to try and determine why I have this issue with my PC. What happens is when I do a coldboot the PC turns on then after a couple seconds it turns off again then turns on automatically then boots normally.. I only hit the power button once. So I have tried contacting Gigabyte and they want me to RMA the board so they can check it out.. I do not have a 2nd CPU or RAM to test it with so I am pretty limited on what I can do to try and figure out what causes this.. Now I have googled the issue and of course checked most of the common things it could be.. The Thing is it only happens when I have OC the CPU and use the XMP PRofile. now before you say it is because of the OC to me that just does not make sense. I had another user say his does not exhibit this behavior, so either I have something wrong in the BIOS Settings or my board is defective.. Now I had a previous PC that did the same thing but it was a 11700K with an ASRock Z590 board.. so the possibility of this happening on 2 seperate PC is wierd. I had trued these things: 1. Try with 1 stick of RAM changed ram up tried in different slots. no matter how I did it I got the bootup issue.. 2. Tried different version of BIOS F15, F16 and F16c.. all did the same thing.. 3. tried unplugging all devices and extra cards and such did the same thing when booting up.. so I am sure there was a few other things I trued but not much more but zillions of combos in BIOS and settings nothing besides setting the BIOS to defaults will it properly boot up.. so what do you guys think it is?

Well back when I had a 21:9 triple Projector setup I had used a warping software to correct the image. as being this large and AR the image gets distroted and such the Warping software fixed that in a Projector.. I am not sure but I do not think there is such software for a monitor.. but I am pretty sure it can be fixed in a lua file or similar.. the warping software I used in the past was nThusim and SimPit warp..

yes I see. I was just saying more places more eyes will see your concern
