giannisgx89 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hey guys! Today i got a new motherboard GA-H61M-S2PV (rev. 2.0), intel i3 3225 and a corsair PSU CORSAIR Builder Series 450W CP-9020049-EU. I did flash the new BIOS update, installed windows 8 pro but when i shutdown the pc and then try to power it on screen just doesn't turn on. I hear no sound at all and when i press the power button after 2-3 minutes it shuts down immediately. But when i press the power button and then the restart button then it works just fine. It may be the cpu but everything seems to work really nice after the booting in Windows :/ Anyone having any idea why this is happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Maybe the BIOS flash was incorrect ... ? Is the power setting on the Supply set to 120 volts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giannisgx89 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I don't think so cause i had the same issue before the BIOS update About the PSU i don't know, is there any setting in BIOS to check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detection Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 If you have a separate GPU, have you disabled onboard Graphics ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giannisgx89 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I did from inside the BIOS and the issue is still there Edit: Just changed the boot option from UEFI to Legacy and it works fine! Strange why this may be the issue. I'll see now if it happens again in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giannisgx89 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 It actually happened again :/ I noticed that when i change the Init Display First to PCI and then boot to BIOS again it reverts back to Auto.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted January 30, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yes, i select Save changes and exit. Dead? but it's completely new (got it today). i still wouldn't completely rule it out. wouldn't be the first time i've seen a mobo ship with a near dead cmos battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giannisgx89 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I used the battery from my old pc and the issue remains. another psu Also i used another PSU, different graphic card and still no go! My guess is i got a bad mobo, tomorrow ill take back for a replacement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 CMOS battery wouldn't keep the system from POSTing, After your powersupply swap I would reseat the CPU, then if that still doesn't fix it, RMA the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but it could be the reason his CMOS settings are not sticking after a reboot, although generally that would only happen with complete disconnect from the mains too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon H Supervisor Posted January 30, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted January 30, 2013 CMOS battery wouldn't keep the system from POSTing, most of the time this is true. there are a few odd boards out there that route some odd things through the cmos batteryheck just a few months ago I remember a thread on neowin where the OP could get his computer to post and it ended up being a dead cmos battery (this was also a new mobo, which is why i said earlier that even a new mobo can have a dead or dying cmos battery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
