Gigabyte motherboard boot loop, no further details
Gigabyte motherboard boot loop, no further details
Unable to power down since the motherboard cannot access the BIOS and it fails to advance beyond the POST display or Gigabyte splash screen.
When you repeatedly press the BIOS access button during startup, it can trigger a reset or power cycle of the system. Afterward, check whether the device boots normally or not. If the machine fails to start, unplug it and attempt to boot without any connected devices to determine if the issue lies with the hardware or software.
If OP were to short the CLEAR (CLR) CMOS on the motherboard, the manual suggests it could work, though next boot might take an eternity. It seems effective if removing the battery didn't succeed.
@userzero @Master Your grammar is correct, and I’m sorry for any confusion. Fixing your tag line would be appreciated.
Yes, I understand Del key is for BIOS too. I also swapped out the RAM cards and installed brand new ones, plus a brand new processor. Still nothing working. When the fans start up, after about 3 or 4 seconds it automatically shuts off and restarts. I keep trying to clear CMOS by shorting the jumper, but I can't get into the BIOS and it doesn't load past the POST screen or the Gigabyte splash screen.
You've already tested every drive fully removed during startup, haven't you?
Certainly. Only the PS 24 pin and the 8 Pin power connector were used, excluding the casing.
Re-arrange your CPU, apply new paste. Test one RAM module at a time. A memory check might reveal an issue. Verify if your power supply is reliable.
