PC shuts down during startup without using BIOS settings
PC shuts down during startup without using BIOS settings
Hello,
I began trying out overclocking some time ago. I’ll begin with my current configuration since that’s a typical starting point.
Operating System: Windows 10
Motherboard: Gigabyte 787M-DH3
CPU: I5-4670K at 4.4Ghz, 1.225V
GPU: EVGA RTX 2070
RAM: Unknown exact model, but 32GB total across two pairs
I was able to keep the system stable and maintain low temperatures even during heavy use. The main issue is that when the computer powers off or sleeps, it tends to freeze upon restarting. Usually, I have to experiment on the desktop until the mouse stutters before it completely stops.
I found a workaround but it’s quite unusual. To fix it, I need to enter BIOS during startup, save settings, and exit. I don’t have to do anything in BIOS—just ensure I go through the process while booting up.
This has become a small hassle as I’ve started following the routine. Your help would be really appreciated, especially since accessing BIOS requires turning off power (pressing the power button) to avoid quick restarts.
Thanks!

Now it’s just a small annoyance because I’ve become used to the routine. Help would be really appreciated, especially since accessing BIOS requires turning off the power (pressing the power button) to avoid it booting too fast.
I’m pretty sure your overclock isn’t stable. Have you run a stress test with Prime95? You could either increase the vcore until the problem disappears or reset the BIOS back to Optimized Defaults.
