sorted all problems bar the sound now it says "the current selected audio device is not supported by the application " when trying to open the creative sound blaster control panel very annoying this was one of the main reasons i bought this board for the good sound!

All the bloody problem are back again

PC wont shut down or restart have to do it manually, BIOS wont let me in, PC gets stuck at "press DEL to enter UEFI BIOS setting", GPU2 when in the desktop or not in games should turn its self off and normally did it had 0/0mhz and 0% activity now though it has 500/1575Mhz and stay at this speed doesnt matter what you do.

Turning crossfire off then on again fixes it till you restart the pc again (reset button, restart doesnt work) then its back to having high clocks.


This all happened after my PC "lost power" for the third time.

I am seriously thinking about going back to AMD i built my AMD system and it worked fine ive had nothing but issue after issue with intel.

The pc has now frozen twice when loading GPU-Z and wouldnt boot again till i unplugged it and held down the power button then it booted again but still with the above issues.

Have you tried the pc with just one GPU installed?

 

[blair]

yes same stuff tried with either gpu tried with every stick of ram as well.

have you tried what i said on your other thread?

try not just removing 1 or 2 things, take it back to the complete basics.
- one ram module
- cpu
- motherboard power
- power/reset/other general case=motherboard pins.
after this slowly add ore things, hdd, graphics card... you'll at least find if there are any hardware faults.
or if it's just bios.


really does sound odd though.

ive tried all that m8 still no luck i am getting somewhere with everything bar the Stuck post screen but this doesnt happen all the time now.

start up from scratch doesnt happen
reboot normally happens
changing something in the bios even fan speeds anything is guaranteed to make it stick after saving only way to sort it is press reset button on pc and then it will boot fine.

Have you tried from a default bios with out overclock? Hanging before entering bios and crashes etc sounds like undervolting one way or another (not enough vcore or dodgy psu).
