Hi All,
Weird problem, I don't know whats causing it, so hopefully someone may be able to help
About 12 months ago, did a new build, had a small issue where it would reset at post when switching on, and then next boot it would be fine, but it stopped after 1 day, so wasn't too worried.
Cue fiasco yesterday.
New HDD for windows 10....
I started getting very slow POST (10 seconds before the beep), and it started to reset once when powering from cold. Resets and then works fine.
Just wondering before I start stripping it down, does anyone have any ideas.
I have removed the new HDD, and the problem remains, and I have made sure everything else is seated correctly, and I have reset and updated the BIOS
Its a gigabyte z97x Gaming 3, I5 4670k and 8GB of corsair RAM.
550w Corsair Builder PSU
Gigabyte G1 970
SoundBlaster zx
Edimax Wifi card
Plus 3x HDD and a Blu Ray
It passes all the stress tests/prime 95 I can throw at it, its just this slow post and reset issue that's driving me crazy!
I don't want to throw another £100 on a new mobo if I can help it, especially if its something I'm missing.
If no one has any immediate ideas, I'm going to strip it down to bare bones, use the onboard GFX and see how long it posts then!
