X58A-UD3R Rev 2.0 Boot problems

[mrtypr]

Hey guys

I am all of a sudden had boot and shutdown problems with my PC.

After my PC has been turned off for several hours (Usually about 10+) It will not turn on. The fans try spin a few times but then it gives up. The only way I can get it to turn on is if I disconnect the power from the motherboard and reconnect it. Then it will turn on

It also tries to reboot on windows shutdown but does not provide any post, just a black screen and the fans are spinning etc. Then again I have to reconnect the power to the motherboard or turn it off from the PSU

I have upgraded my BIOS to the Latest (FH) and I will test it again. But I have researched many threads with the exact same problem with this model motherboard

Is this a common problem with it?

thanks

I have had about 6 of those boards and as far as I know they are all still working fine.

I think I read it right that if you just turn off the PSU switch and turn it back on the computer will reboot.

It could be a PSU problem. Can you try another PSU

Yep going to try another PSU tonight or next time it does not want to turn on again (most likely tonight, if a BIOS update does not fix)

Thanks for your input appreciate it. I will let you know once I try another PSU

Well I think I tried turning off the PSU switch a few times and it still did not turn on. The only way I get it to turn on is if I disconnect the main power plug from the actual motherboard and connect it again

I have read multiple threads with people having the same issues as me with the same board:
