Computer Wont Boot, My Theory?
Computer Wont Boot, My Theory?
At the moment, the system won't boot at all with high reliability. I've experimented with various overclocking configurations, but the optimal setting I discovered is around 4.3GHZ at 1.35V. It has proven stable after numerous stress tests, with no issues encountered. Regarding the boot failure issue, it seems to be linked to my current setup. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-Z170HD3P, paired with an Intel i5-6400 processor, GSKILL Ripjaws 4 DDR4 16GB RAM, Adata Premier SP550 240GB SSD, Evga Supernova 750W PSU, and a GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0. The case I'm using is Corsair 780T. When the power button is pressed, the built-in fan controller activates, which is connected to the same SATA chain powering both the CPU cooler and SSD. Adjusting the fan speed from maximum to minimum during boot causes problems—sometimes the system shuts down before showing any error messages and restarts to the load-optimized settings. I've noticed this behavior with extra fans that aren't PWM-controlled or are missing from the motherboard slots. Changing the fan controller settings resolves the issue, allowing a proper boot. It's worth mentioning that the chip is overclocked and uses non-K technology, so I'm running the F5g BIOS, which may affect stability compared to standard F5 BIOS. If you have any other suggestions or need further adjustments, feel free to let me know. I'll consider switching to a separate SATA chain for the drive when I return from work today. Thanks for your time!
Avoid linking a drive to a component that consumes fluctuating power. The CPU fan and chassis fans must remain independent of the SSD.

They released the updated full bios through their beta testing program.

Thanks a lot for your response! I just returned from work and switched the SATA chain to just the drive, running the h110i gtx independently with its own chain and the case fans. I noticed in my first post that the pump was also turned off on this chain. So far everything is working fine. The new SATA cable seems to be functioning perfectly. Appreciate the help!

your running a beta bios they pushed the new full bios out.

Yes i did see that they released the new full BIOS and i was on it for a while but when i heard that i could overclock my cpu with the f5g bios i ended up getting that one and overclocking the chip which is actually doing very well right now.
Thanks for the reply!
