I have the mainboard Gigabyte GA Z97X UD5H In the last 3-4 weeks, almost everytime when i start my PC, i receive this message ( attached image ) So, i have to reboot from the restart button, and than it's working again The BIOS is already F10, latest version, i tried to remove the BIOS battery, load optimised settings, etc.. Same story. Friday i was playing online, and my GTX 980 Ti just died ( burned / fried ) I use now the onboard video, i will send back the GTX 980 Ti, and get another new one I didn't OC the CPU / GPU, nothing .... Would you please help me ? Thank you in advance https://postimg.org/image/mf69fmb3x/
BIOS battery dead/dying - the date is 18 months slow PSU / Motherboard fault, test with known working parts to check
^ hey, it says "BIOS date" on the image, you sure it just isn't the revision date of the BIOS version? Not that you couldn't replace the battery either way, but I think it was your dying graphics card causing issues. Or does it still happen with integrated graphics too? Ofc worth asking what caused a factory-set GPU to fry in the first place... which could still mean PSU or mobo problems. Monitor voltages from BIOS, are they all at least equal to specified value and stable.
This happent before the GPU died, and now as well, with the onboard video I don't know how to find out if the PSU or mobo is the issue Anyway, i think the GTX 980 Ti issue ( fried ) was just a coincidence, with this BIOS issue
You're going to need spare parts to test First thing, disconnect everything not needed for the machine to pass POST, doesn't look like it's even reaching POST on that screen so you can disconnect drives and everything If that solves it, reconnect hardware one by one, and test each time until it hangs again If it does it with nothing connected, you need to try either a new PSU or motherboard No way around it, you need new parts to know what is wrong, or at very least, a new PSU, if it still does it with the new PSU, you're only left with the board and the CPU, and it's unlikely to be the CPU
You should get a vague idea of the PSUs condition by checking the voltages shown in BIOS. Or better have a monitoring app running in the background and logging while system is under load, I think CPU-Z shows the voltages too. For example if +12 V shows 11.7 and/or varies notably all the time, it is a sign of PSU degradation. Stable/high enough values don't necessarily mean everything's fine but unstable/low values will tell something's wrong. Also do what Extraordinary said above.
Those voltages look off by miles Think the sensors must be off though, the +12v @ 3.6v wouldn't boot the machine I don't think So yea, either motherboard or PSU fault still, need to test a new PSU
All of them On the left it shows what they should be, the right three columns are min, average and current probably
Look, the mainboard and the PSU still have the warranty I could send them back ( different online retailers ) but first i want to make sure which is the the faullty one PSU or Mobo ... Actually, when those voltages are off, who is the culprit ?
Like we've said, test a new PSU and you'll know, I personally don't think the board would boot with those voltages, so probably the board, but who knows, test a new PSU
Personally I'd RMA the PSU first to prevent possible further damage to the system. I find it unlikely that this and your GPU dying are a coincidence. The +12 V readings don't make sense so could indeed be the mobo too but then something broke that as well. Maybe the readings are so off that the sensors can't interpret them properly anymore or something. But unless you can find a way to test with a different PSU (or motherboard) no knowing for sure.
