Hi All,

My system with Z10PE does not boot successfully at the 1st time. It just rebooting 2-3 times and then will boot normally. Any suggestion?

Best,
Kamran
 
Are you SURE it boots normally after the second or third time, or is it that the memory configuration is not well tolerated by the memory controller and on the second or third try it is defaulting to the JEDEC default memory configuration and then going on from there? That would not be uncommon.

Sounds like it's trying to train the secondary and tertiary, perhaps even primary memory settings to align with whatever you have the memory set to, is unable, and is then reconfiguring things. Could also be a failing CMOS battery.

Could be a lot of things.

What are your FULL system specifications including CPU, FULL motherboard model number (There are several variants of Z10PE), all memory part numbers, power supply model number, storage drives, etc?
 
Mmmm, I never thought of that!

CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4 @ 2.10GHz
Mother board: Asus Z10PE-D16 WS
NVIDIA GeForce 210 1Gb
RAM: SK hynix 16GB 2rx4 PC4 - 2133P x 2 modules
Power Supply: 1050W
Hard drives: 1 SSD PLEXTOR PX-256M7VC 250GB + 1 Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB

Thank you
 
IDK man, that system isn't that old so I wouldn't think the CMOS battery would be an issue. Might be worth trying though.

As far as the memory, you might try going into the bios and making sure all of the appropriate memory settings are set to auto configuration.

Honestly, with a dual CPU configuration it could be a lot of things. Have you checked in the bios to see that both CPUs are registering and functional?
 
So, for another reason I had to change my Graphic card (needed display port). After that, everything works properly. This issue was the graphic card and I have no idea what's happening.
