Addressing the CPU OC removal resolves the boot problem during startup.
Addressing the CPU OC removal resolves the boot problem during startup.
Hi guys, I'm really stumped with something here. So much so that it has prompted me to post for the first time!
I recently splashed out big and treated myself to a GTX 1080. After installing the drivers I restarted my system but it wouldn't boot. Tried again and I got a machine_check_exception error message from Windows.
After this I was able to boot it successfully, tried out a couple of games, everything seems fine. But any time I try to restart the system I have the same issue, the screen just stays completely blank.
I have had a stable OC on my i5-6500, but just for the sake of it I removed this and it solved the problem completely. My question is - why on earth would this be the case? I apologise if there's something terribly simple I'm missing, and I don't mean to waste anyone's time. I'm honestly just a slightly newbie and very confused PC owner right now.
My setup is;
AsRock z170M Pro4s
i5-6500
Palit GTX 1080 Jetstream
16gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400mhz
750w Corsair PSU
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
It seems similar to PSU, could it be a CX model? Be sure to install the newest BIOS and motherboard drivers; there might be minor compatibility concerns with the GPU.
