#hey guys how do i fix a bootloop?
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Oh and it worked once before i even played gta for like 3 hours but today it wouldnt startup again
Okay, so some specs first: PSU, Motherboard, CPU and SSD please. Also what OS and is this your main PC?
Psu be quiet systempower b9
Mobo asrock ab350m pro 4
Cpu ryzen 5 2600
Ssd sandisk x400 500gb but ive also tried an intenso 128ssd
Os win 11 reinstall since i thought reinstalling windows might fix that
How much power on the PSU?
Okay good to know. I would have pointed my fingers at the OS, but with a reinstall, that's basically ruled out.
Ohh yeah then it's most likely the PSU. How old is it?
Idfk xD this is a repair for a friend
Ohh
Let me try a new psu ill be right back
What's the RAM?
A 450 Watt one
4x4 hyperx fury
"New PSU" cough cough
But if this one could hold my 3070 for 1 year then it should be enugh for a 1060 xD
Nothing changed still same problem
I removed all but one stick of ram and its still happening
Think i should try a bios update? Cus its stable in bios
Hahaha
WHAT DID YOU DO?! Hahahaha brilliant
Added 2 gpu pins 
Probably
But hey that got me running till i got a new one
Jesus 😂
425watt psu from 2012 doin a ryzen 7 and 3070 xDD
It was never knocked out?
Not once
XD
Actually i somehow never had a problem
But yeahh i got a job so i thought mayyyyyybe i should upgrade xD
Doesn’t make the psu look less sketchy
Definitely
got a 650 watt be quiet psu now
That poor 3070’s VRMs and MOSFETs had to do a lot of work
Still not that much, I’m kinda worried about my 750W GPU with my 7800XT and 5950X
nope it just worked i took an oscilloskope to it and the voltages where cleaner than on my 650 be quiet one now
lmao
Ohh damn
Then high quality shit that should not be that way
idk guess i had one from a REALLY good batch XD
Ohh wait you speak German?
therefore im getting the opposite from gigaybite mainboards
yea
ich auch
But I guess we should stick to english in case somebody else wants to join in right?
;_;
true
I honestly think this motherboard is dead
but it worked once?
for a couple of hours till i shut it off
And for a couple years when my friend used it
hhm that's weird. But since OS reinstall didn't help, that'd be my conclusion. But try a BIOS update and reset it. If that doesn't help, try a Linux live boot and see if it works there. Because if it does, we know it's purely software related, if not, then it'll have to be hardware
It might have just died. A VRM for example. That'd lead to this kinda behaviour
But why was it stable for like 5 min in bios before
Yeah, but as soon as you put any load on it, it crashes, which to me indicates bad PD
Still dosnt explain why it ran gta5 yesterday (i had this bootloop before but it somehow managed to boot once)
I mean that shouldve been a pretty high load
Interesting. I had some problems with my motherboard not long ago when I got my 5950X. It booted just fine, but 5950X would not run on more than 2.2GHz All-Core if I set the frequency to a fixed value. Turns out, bad VRMs on my Motherboard. I would diagnose that to be a similar issue
May I know in recent times have you faced any voltage fluctuations in your house?
Do you have an alternate cpu with am4 socket?
I have an alternative cpu and main socket but i wont try the other socket cus i dont wanna risk my main pc
I could try a ryzen 5 1st gen tho
I have one laying around
That's good enough I'd say
Imma first try to undervolt this one cus those cpus both have the same tdp
Yeah you may try with that cpu also check your bios compatibility also once
it's not his PC, but a PC of a friend of his
Should be stable right? 1800mhz 1 volt
Try with xmp disabled also
Already tried that
What is the previous default voltage of the cpu?
Then in that case it's fine to under volt to 1V and reduce to the least multiplier option
But you can try with 1.8 also it already significantly low
For some weird reason its doing this i see the bios file then it tells me theres not one found
Have you disabled the ftpm?
But better use the bios flash back button so it won't ask for much.
Yes
I think there is none
I just put the new cpu in
Still the dame Problem
Trying internet flash now
Couldnt connect :(
Not working still?
me too wow. Three germans in one american server, real nice haha
I'm swiss too actually, coincidence or not? :)
I think my dad had this exact power supply in his old PC xD. It was rated for 750W (though probably not as much on 12V)
Well mine is rated 425 and managed to Power a ryzen 7 a 3070 i sticks of ram like 8 fans an aio 5hdds and a VR
