Boot loops G1 Killer Sniper 3 with i7-2600k

[Makis]

Hi there,
hope you are fine.
So lets starting explaining my problem: Im getting a lof of boot loops.

My System:I7-2600K @stock on auto 1.284v cooled with an H80i
G1 Killer Sniper 3 Z77 Bios F8J( Newest available)
8 GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 1600 MHZ CL9 no XMP
Gigabyte Gtx 670 OC
Samsung Pro 128 GB

Im experienced it with a Z77-UD5H aswell, changed all Ram,PSU,SSD all but not the CPU so im thinking Gigabyte made a bad job there. A lot of other Users experiencing the same problem as well.
But you cannot say when they are coming, e.x today the problem came after 5 days with normal boots.

The Mainboard tried to boot several times 7 times i think such a shame...

I would be very happy if you can help me.^_^

Check the CPU socket for bent pins.

Try flashing the BIOS to the latest non-beta version.

Thank you for replying
-CPU doesnt have any bent pins
-Mainboard doesnt have any bent pins
-with the lastets non beta version same problem as well

with the combination of i5-2500k and Z77-UD5H same problems where there also.

Bummer

It's unlike Gigabyte to put out a dodgy board.

Actually the more I think about it the more this reminds me of an issue I had with an Asrock board.

I was using a MATX board with my Xeon with no issues at all. Then I put on a later bios that was created for Ivy Bridge and my PC became really unstable. I emailed Asrock who said that I should put the bios back to the one I was using before as their Ivy Bridge update was only for Ivy Bridge and could cause instability issues with Sandy Bridge..

So yeah, try getting an older bios on there.

Edit. IE -don't use the latest bios as it will be for Ivy Bridge. Try one of the earlier revisions that was released before Ivy Bridge.

Ty for replies!
I used older bios (F3 F7) for example same problems there!

I would RMA it then as it could be a faulty board.

Thank you for your reply!
As i said before its not a faulty board,
with the Gigabyte Z77 UD5H i had the same problems
changed all parts stilll the same problem Gigabyte have made a bad job there.. Also there are soo many users report this bug/fail the exact same problem -so its a standard problem which had to be fixed from gigabyte!

Ive never heard of the UD5H having bootloop issues with newer drivers, so then it has to be your CPU or something? :S ...weird.

Well, Im using Z68 - UD3H and I used to have bootloops, then I took an arrow to the knee...


... and updated bios.


And now its gone
