    System Powers Off Between a Few Seconds and 10 Mins of Starting

    So after these 5 months the system was solid - no issues then bam... wont post. Motherboard gives memory related debug codes but also random other debug codes sometimes. I believe the IMC was weak to begin with and finally gave out. So now I need to find a e5 1691 v3 to replace the CPU...

    System Powers Off Between a Few Seconds and 10 Mins of Starting

    Well, I have read 1.5 v is the upper limit so I was not expecting to have to start there (with no overclock), but the thing that is most surprising to me is that it worked fine for a while but then started needing more voltage a few weeks later. Also, my previous power supply was not able to...

    System Powers Off Between a Few Seconds and 10 Mins of Starting

    well, asrock replaced this board with the same model RMA already. If memory is the issue, I would think it would have to be the DIMMs. No issues since upping the voltage. Anyone have a thought on why I would have to do that at stock speeds? I guess I can safely leave it there as long as the...

    System Powers Off Between a Few Seconds and 10 Mins of Starting

    BIOS is latest for this board - v3.80 Windows Power plan is set to High performance with PCIE & USB power save disabled. No sleep or drive spin down. C States disabled in BIOS vcore is auto (UEFI default) - 1.256 V since I am suspicious of the memory, your question about vmem got me pondering...

    System Powers Off Between a Few Seconds and 10 Mins of Starting

    Good thoughts, please keep them coming. I tried direct to wall power and through my UPS. I tried with several cables. I pulled the motherboard out of the case and had the same issue - no usb connections. I tried different PCIE slots for the different video cards. All the case connections...

    System Powers Off Between a Few Seconds and 10 Mins of Starting

    I thought about that. The thing is, in memcheck86, I see the temps are fine even during testing for 24 hours - no shut downs, no freezes, no errors, works perfect.

    I found this. Sounds like it may be a known issue. Going to open a support case.

    Computer keeps shutting off

    I have a similar issue but i can just power on again after it shuts down. I dont have to pull the plug. Sometime I get locked up / frozen in Windows. Then I have to pull the plug. Do you have freezes too or only shutdowns? The thing that befuddles me the most (in my case) is UEFI based...

    System Powers Off Between a Few Seconds and 10 Mins of Starting

    It makes it through the boot process. I have not seen shutdowns happen during the boot process or in the UEFI. I had some sessions last long enough to reinstall Windows. It will sometimes freeze / lock up in Windows as well. I was also able to install Ubuntu on another drive successfully...

    System Powers Off Between a Few Seconds and 10 Mins of Starting

    Got a build that runs fine in UEFI. It passes the Intel UEFI CPU check tool, Dell UEFI diags and Memcheck86 UEFI. (Temps are great during tests ~32C) Problem is, it powers off shortly after starting Windows or Linux (usually within a minute). I have swapped motherboard, power supply, hard...
