Hey,
So, I've been having issues with my system and I can't seem to pinpoint the problem/find a solution.
Symptoms:
Occasionally system won't boot (both from sleep and shutdown, although seems to happen more often when PC is put to sleep). Fans spin up to max, as they usually do on power-up, but system doesn't POST and debug LEDs keep cycling, without stopping at a certain component. Powering the system down and back up, makes the system POST, with the failed overclock message. However, apart from enabled XMP profile, nothing has been overclocked. This doesn't happen often, perhaps twice a week, but I still find it annoying, considering the system is almost new...
Hardware:
Asus Z170I Pro Gaming (w/ non-K OC BIOS)
Intel i5 6500 (stock, since I don't OC for daily use)
G.Skill Trident Z 2x8Gb 3000Mhz (XMP enabled)
Corsair RM550x
Intel 535 Series 240Gb SSD
Does anyone have any suggestion that would help to pinpoint the problem? If not for the failed OC message, I'd assume it's something to with C states and Sleep. Then again, sometimes this happens on cold boot as well...
The RAM isn't on Asus's QVL list, then again, 90% of RAM out there isn't so it's somewhat unlikely it's board related? One thing I have noticed is that enabling XMP in BIOS bumps the clock to 102.5 from 100, but that's how it's intended to be with XMP, no?
Everything is but a couple of months old, everything is at stock, all voltages at their default values. What gives?
Thanks guys!
