Asus Maximus VI Hero doesnt get to bios on restart, but power off and on works fine

[Sorennic]

Recently i upgraded my CPU to a 4790k. I did thorough research to prepare for my upgrade. I updated/flashed my bios, installed my cooling kit flawlessly, as well as familiarized myself with all of my bios settings to try and overclock as i please.
Specs: 4790k (stable at 4.8ghz oc'd), VI hero mobo, G skill 32gb ram (XMP at 2400mhz), msi gtx 970, corsair 850w psu, with 850 samsung pro ssd. windows 10 home edition 64 bit. Bios version is currently 1505.

My PC runs stable and i actually get really high benchmarks for my old mobo on rog's benchmark testing program ( around 150k) and my pc sseems to run perfectly fine when i power it off and on with speedy startup times as well.. However, whenever i press the restart button on windows or any kind of system restart for updates, the system will power down but never get to the bios. All i have to do then is simplying hard power it off and then power it back on and everything works.. But my issue is i dont like that i cant get restart funcionality to work. My question is: Is there any way i can change a setting in my bios to get my restart functionality working again? or should i possibly mess with voltages or something cuz it might not be getting enough power on reset? Im really confused and could use any advice or help i can get! thanks

What PSU? GPU? Any OC on the CPU?

hello! and thank you for the reply!
I have a i7 4790k OC'd to 4.8 ghz
GPU is MSI 4g gaming 970
PSU is a corsair HX850watt . ( i will double check as soon as im home)
I have changed some voltages on the "core cpu voltage" as well as the "eventual cpu input voltage". i have the core cpu voltage at 1.3volts with the "eventual cpu input voltage" at 1.8volts because i heard u want to keep them .5 volts apart. I basically was following this post:https://rog.asus.com/12802014/overclocking/5ghz-4670k-4770k-overclocking-guide-on-maximus-vi-formula/

As a side note, my last realbench test had my score of my pc at 147k. I also ran some windows memory tests to see if my ram is buggy when OCing, but i didnt get any errors.

Might raise the DDRvtt a smidge (+ 0.04) and maybe just a hair more to the CPU (+ 0.02)

ahh ok i can try that! when u say a hair to the cpu, you mean both the core and the output with the same ratio correct?

 

[Tradesman1]

Just to the core, no real need to play with output

Thank you again for your time by the way! i love this site.
I will get back to you after i make the changes. ( currently at work so i cant do it yet).
Also one thing i was noticing form that page i linked earlier( https://rog.asus.com/12802014/overclocking/5ghz-4670k-4770k-overclocking-guide-on-maximus-vi-formula/ ), it shows on the 6th image down, some kind of gamer's oc profile.. i dont think i was seeing that on the hero version of the maximus VI. I also am not seeing at the top in yellow "target CPU turbo-mode speed" i think im just seeing "target cpu speed" so maybe theres a setting im missing to make it go to turbo?

Is turbo turned on?

 

[Sorennic]

you know, i thought it was, but im not sure now.. care to walk me through it real fast?

 

[Sorennic]

Is turbo turned on?

Actually yea, turbo is on. I tried adjusting the voltages, however still no changes to restarting in the fact that it never gets to bios. again though power off and on work totally fine and boots as normal. I ran benchtest again today and everything still performs nice for what i got i think.

is there settings i can change in the bios that affects how power is directed to the hardware for just restarts? because something is happening differently how the power moves around from power on/off and simple restarts. i dont get it though and would love to hear some insight. Im learniong alot these days

Following along: I have the same board in CPU, and have been having this issue since installing the latter. Restarts were fine with an older CPU. I am indeed thinking it has something to do with power cycling of the CPU on soft reboots and have been unable to fix it so far. Personally I'm afraid it can only be solved by a new BIOS (which ASUS of course won't make for this "old" mobo anymore)

years later i just swapped out the entire pc. But what ended up fixing that issue i think was a fresh install of windows 10 which fixed any bugs i had

 

[silentk1989]

all i did was wipe the entire pc and it eventually was fixed. i cant remember the exact thing i did honestly since it was awhile back
