So new build, similar problem to the first rig I built myself. Getting the never ending "bootloop" when I fire up my mobo with everything plugged in. I know everyone says to unplug everything and try it one part at a time, which i will indeed do, but I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and found a more uniform way to fix it? Last time it was because my RAM was loose. This time my connections are all secure.
Background: building a trio rig with 2 1080ti and a 1080 mini using a 270 mobo with 850w psu. First mobo I used for this build didn't work at all. This one fires up but then goes into the endless loop. I have tried a different psu and a different RAM as well as different GPU. Leaning towards it being a faulty cpu but curious to see if anyone else has any other suggestions before I dismantle everything.
CPUs are almost never bad; sometimes you can have a bent mobo pin that causes CPU related problems. However, I don't think that is the case here.
Maybe this will work:
Ensure the monitor is connected to the primary GPU ( the one in the 16x slot closest to the CPU )
Disconnect the USB or SSD/HHD from the rig.
Fully power off everything: including the PSU.
Press the power button several times to clear any remaining power in the mobo.
Turn the PSU powerswitch back to | "on".
power on (without the USB attached)
See if the bios posts; if you get nothing in 20 seconds; press ctrl + alt + del repeatedly until the system reboots.
Wait and see if the bios posts.
If the bios posts attach the USB key and press ctrl + alt + delete.
Let me know if this works.
