GA-X99-UD3P Not Booting

[Deleted member 1272578]

I've had my motherboard for several months now. Today it suddenly locked up and gave me a black screen while running Unigine Valley. I haven't been able to get it to boot since.

Things you should know:

-i7 5930K overclocked to 4.6GHz at 1.35V
-FBIOS LED lights up for half a second after pressing the power button
-R9 290X overclocked to 1.2GHz at +150V
-Caps Lock doesn't work
-No display whatsoever
-I had to reseat the motherboard to install some fans earlier today
-Custom water cooled system
-Clear CMOS doesn't work

Please help ._.

when re seating your motherboard did you change the position of the ram, make sure it is in slot 1 and slot 2, it will not boot up if ram is in slot3/4

All 4 DIMMs are populated.

If you remove the GPU and attempt to boot, does it boot? do you get to Post?

I haven't tried that, but there's no integrated graphics anyway. I think it's a motherboard issue.

You have to think about things in a logical order.

For example the last thing you did to the system was fit extra fans, and most likely connect them to the fan headers of the motherboard labeled Chassis fan`s, or the fans you used.

Had molex power connections where you connected them to power output from the PSU directly.

So what has changed ?
Power consumption.

Now what is the wattage of your Power supply unit and it`s brand, and model number.
By adding the fans you have increased the power consumption and the power requirements required of your PSU.

If it, or was close to it`s maximum power output in wattage and amp rating.
Ie: Too much load was put on the power supply by adding the extra fans.

It would be the likely reason why your system shut down since it was the last thing you did.

What has likely happened then is due to the strain put on the PSU one of your circuit protection modes of the PSU has triggered.

If you press the power button on the system and it powers up for a brief second then all power is cut.
One of your voltage protection circuits of the Psu has been triggered.

Simply look at the back of your tower where your PSU is, turn the rocker switch to it`s other state.
Switch the wall socket off, for about ten seconds, then back on at the wall.
Then flick the rocker switch back to its normal position.
Press the power button on your tower and see if the system fully powers up then.

If it works it tells you, you have too much power draw on the power supply unit because you added the extra fans.
Always work backwards based on the last thing you did, or fitted. taking into account what effect it will have by adding to the system.

It may indicate that the power supply has died, due to the extra power requirements required of it by adding extra fans.
Disconnect the fans from the system, try the reset instruction for the psu as another test and see if the system powers up.

also I know this may be obvious, but make 100% sure your CPU fan is plugged into the CPU fan slot and its tight, a Comp wont even budge if the fan is unplugged or loose.

Oh, I did forget to mention that the fans plugged into the motherboard and the pump plugged into the power supply still work.

 

[bailojustin]

so your stuck in a reboot cycle? everything turns on, then turns straight off, no post?

 

[Deleted member 1272578]

It doesn't turn off. It just keeps running with no video output.

 

[bailojustin]

Have you tried different monitors, and it may be your PSU, or GPU, no way to tell unless its tested out. THE PSU can still power everything on the PC but that does not mean it can not be fried. if it cant supply power to your GPU then you will have no display, or if your GPU had a short/issue while you were running a benchmark pushing it to its limits, the psu or gpu could have been pushed to far.

 

[Deleted member 1272578]

I just tried with a different GPU, no change

 

[bailojustin]

Then most likely the issue was to arise while overclocking your PC, the PSU could not handle what you were putting out at its peak load, may be a faulty psu. What motherboard are you using exactly, most of the times if the computer boots and fans/system turns on its not a MOBO issue, you can try to rapidly press f8 or whichever button brings you into safe boot once you turn on your computer, give that a go.

 

[Deleted member 1272578]

Tapping F8 does nothing I'm afraid :/

If it helps, my power supply is a Seasonic 860W Platinum.

 

[bailojustin]

and what is your motherboard?

 

[bailojustin]

the PSU is a good one, Should be no problem there, last but not least comes down to the MOBO

GA-X99-UD3P, it's in the title...

Sorry stupid me, Once you press the power button rapidly tap f12, if nothing, do you hear a beep? how many beeps do you hear? also unplug ALL USB's except for the keyboard

 

[Deleted member 1272578]

Still nothing, the keyboard isn't recognised at all.

 

[bailojustin]

Does your computer make a beeping noise, this is key to diagnosing your issue, if so how many beeps does it make, Also try the keyboard in the back slots usb, dont try it in front panel, and try a different keyboard if yours is name brand. try a plug and play.

 

[Deleted member 1272578]

I don't have a speaker on hand unfortunately. The keyboard is already plugged into the rear port

I think the motherboard is busted, I'll get on the phone to GIGABYTE tomorrow. For now I need to sleep, thanks for your help anyway, I appreciate it.

Hello,

I happen to have the same motherboard but with i7 5820k and I have the exact same issue.... did GYGABYTE figure it out?
