Help! The computer restarts repeatedly before booting, possibly due to a cold boot?
Help! The computer restarts repeatedly before booting, possibly due to a cold boot?
JustEthan is pleased to hear from you and wishes you a good day. Feel free to ask if you have more questions. After the computer stopped working for a few hours, it came back. The code 19 failed, and I was using vcore at 1.27v instead of 1.25v. I changed it to 1.28v and plan to lower the BIOS settings as well. If this doesn't resolve the issue, I'm unsure what's causing it.
Well give a little more than that. I don't think there's a chip in the world you wouldn't safe giving it 1.30-1.35. Make sure you don't have any xmp profiles on for your memory. Try going down to one stick (the slot closest to the cpu) of ram. Try with one, if it boots shut down and try with a different stick in the smae slot. If there is a stick that you can't boot with set it aside. After successful boots, try with two sticks. ( the one closest to the cpu and the third from the cpu (skip a slot. If you can succesfully boot with 2 sticks keep rotating them. If you run into a problem you may be able to narrow it down toa memory issue. Memory does fail. And if you're trying tp oc your ran try without. Feed a little more voltage to your cpu then maybe even your ram but bump it to 1.3 and see what happens. I'll go back and read this whole thread but I'm not sure if you're trying to oc anything if you are list your settings so I can get a better idea of what's going on.
JustEthan is suggesting additional checks beyond the basic settings. He advises removing any xmp profiles from memory and testing with only one RAM stick, preferably the closest to the CPU. If that fails, try using two sticks, skipping a slot if needed. Once successful with one stick, attempt with two and observe boot behavior. If issues persist, he recommends checking for memory problems by increasing voltage slightly but keeping it at 1.3. He also mentions reviewing the full thread later to confirm if the goal was to optimize something specific.
Ya, I'm not entirely sure why either it was just a problem I encountered with an older Gigabyte board. I had to make sure pretty much all apps were closed and that I didn't have the high performance power plan set in windows when I put ti to sleep or it would wake into a boot loop. Then I gave it more voltage. I really think there is a good chance it may be how you have your memory running if your mobo allows you to raise the voltage of your memory put it at 1.35 or 1.355 it should be just fine there. I'm still getting my new rig set up right too, it's not always the quickest process. It only took a few days with my Sandy Bridge setup first time ever overclocking. I have thisone pretty stable but I think I can squeeze a little more out of it lol.

Yeah, I'm not completely sure about the reason behind it. It seems like a problem I ran into with an older Gigabyte board. I had to close all apps and make sure the high performance power plan wasn't active in Windows before putting it to sleep—it would wake up in a boot loop. Then I increased the voltage. I think there might be a connection to how your memory is running, especially if your motherboard supports raising memory voltage to 1.35 or 1.355. It should work fine then. I'm still getting my new rig set up correctly, which isn't always the fastest process. My first Sandy Bridge overclock took a few days. I have one stable rig, but I think I can push it a bit more.
Hello,
I tried increasing vcore to 1.3v, but the computer won't boot at that high voltage. It keeps restarting with code 19 and resetting the BIOS settings five times.
