Hey, I have a really bad situation here. My computer only starts working at the 4th time it tries to turn on. That is when the BIOS resets. It works perfectly fine if I set up the default options and then change things like overclocking after the start. Several tests show that everything runs smoothly using Aida, Cinebench, and Blender. The only problem is that it won't boot at all if the CPU overclock is turned on.
My setup includes: an Intel i9-9900KF Z390 processor with an Aorus Elite card from Asus, a Corsair TX750M GPU, 2x8GB of RAM sticks, and an ASUS Strix cooler. I also have a Corsair Vegeance RGB Pro power supply.
Here are the specific configurations I tried:
1. **Default Options:** If I stress test with these settings, I get a BSOD error, but that is not important right now because it boots normally otherwise.
2. **XMP Enabled at 3200mhz:** When I turned on auto-XMP for the RAM at 3200MHz, it boots normally.
3. **Overclocked Settings:** When I manually set the CPU overclock to 4.7GHz with 1.23v voltage and use LLC Turbo mode, it only starts working after a BIOS reset (the 4th time).
This issue started when I first built my PC, but it didn't bother me because if I unplugged the power and left the computer off overnight, it would boot fine the next day. Now, however, it won't start without forcing that BIOS reset. That is really annoying đ I also have a red LED light on my case that lights up when I shut down the PC. Sorry for any grammar mistakes in this post.
Did you try raising the CPU voltage? Starting things uses up a lot of power, but once they're running steady, the energy gets used up faster. If you keep trying, the capacitors will charge up enough to make it work again.
You are trying to overclock your computer after it starts? You probably use Asus Turbo software to change BIOS settings? That usually only helps when you run apps or games, not when starting up. At the very first boot, the whole PC is super hot because everythingâfrom hard drives to RAM to all those chips on the motherboardâis working really hard. If you check the BIOS and see that your CPU/GPU temps are still high even while fans spin fast, think about an air conditioner turning on for the first time. It sucks a lot of power to move the compressor and cool the room at the start, making it very loud. Once it gets going, it gets quieter and uses less energy. Your OC software isn't strong enough to handle that stress right away, so after the 4th restart, it probably resets the BIOS back to its safe, normal settings. If you really want an overclocked system, just make sure MCE is turned on in BIOS if your cooling is good enough. Usually, trying to use software for this kind of thing doesn't work as well as people think.
I tried raising the CPU core voltage to 1.45V but the computer won't start. It only happens when I hit restart four times now. I need to change the CPU multiplier setting to 47 instead of letting it stay automatic, because if I leave it on auto, the machine crashes with a BSOD error due to not getting enough power. This is causing the LLC (Load Line Calibration) to turn on Turbo mode. Yesterday, I tried turning on just the 1.45VCore manually and it still wouldn't boot. I set the multiplier to 47, lowered the vCore to 1.24, and turned off Turbo in Load Line Calibration.
