Freezing On Startup

Okay. Lets see how long it last.

he should have a CMOS jumper near the battery.....

But you'd need jumper switches for that. Taking out the battery is much much easier.

It is my belief 1 of the busses was overclocked and causing a freeze issue.. more than likely the MCP, which on these kinds of boards is an oven. I have good cooling on my MCP and its always around 125F -- I have read horror stories on OCN about MCPs being in the high 60c, even low 70c and causeing freeze and no boot issues.

our boards come with the jumper switch.. prong 1 and 2 is normal op.. 2 and 3 is CMOS reset...

 

[Heisenberg 99.1]

Yea mine is a good 50 or 60.

 

[Silent_Predator]

I doubt it.. I believe your PC was in 1 way or another Overclocked and causeing an over-temp/over heat issue, causeing your freezeing and no boots.

It's still easier to pull out the battery and just wait for 1 minute. :closedeyes:

Is it possible I got hacked?

Of course it's possible. If you can plug in that HDD to another system, and start in Safe Mode and do a full scan of Malwarebytes on it, it might help.

anything is possible.. but seeing how a default BIOS reboot seems to have cleared up the issue.....

Security redundancy never hurts.



FXnate: So is it working properly now? I think you should stress it a little, and use HWMonitor to watch the temps. Just keep it open, and take a screen shot before and after you do something (something demanding, like a game).

too true

and

thats a good idea.

 

[Heisenberg 99.1]

It froze about 5 minutes after it started up.

 

[Silent_Predator]

are you positive.. watched with your own eyes, that the cpu fan is functioning?

 

[Silent_Predator]

I have another idea... are you useing any of the eVGA and/or Nvidia monitoring/function adjustment software?

ie

EVGA Precision
nVidia Performance software

it is possible that there is a profile with bad BIOS inputs that is starting at Windows startup ->example, my overclock doesnt fully take place until after Windows is running, desktop and all

I am begining to think now that it is the above.. or a RAM issue

 

[Heisenberg 99.1]

Its running pretty good now. I am running a malwarebytes scan just in case.

Nope.

 

[Ph?bus]

Can you post a screen shot of HWMonitor? Make sure every temperature is readable.

 

[Heisenberg 99.1]

They all look good.

 

[Silent_Predator]

GPUs are a little on the toasty side - especially if thats idle.

How do I cool it down?
