Strange boot 1 time only -- EVERY TIME -- z77x UP5 TH

[lyt108]

Hello...

Here is my system:

Gigabyte z77x-UP5 TH (rev 1.0)
core i7 3770k  (retail box)  NOT OVERCLOCKED
G-SKILL ARES  (retail box)  4 X 8GB   NOT OVERCLOCKED
2 SSD IN RAID 0
ROSEWILL PLATINUM PS  600 W
HD 4000 INTEGRATED GRAPHICS -- NO DEDICATED CARD
Win 7 64-bit


I shut down at night,  and every single morning the same thing happens.

Power on....
computer boots fine and I hear the window chime at my login screen....
BUT--the screen is dark and the monitor is not "lit" up...not even the power light.

Hard reset.....

computer boots fine and screen appears...  everything is 100% fast and perfect.....with the exception that I have to choose "start windows normally"  since I did a hard reset.

Is this a known issue?

You are getting the windows logo screen before it goes to desktop right. If so it could be a driver problem.

At that point when the Logo screen comes up after that it is loading all the drivers. Next time on a cold boot try and go into windows in safe mode.

If it boots into safe mode than is a more likely a driver problem. Because you are only using a standard windows driver for the video.

yes but.... 

I am still having the same issue....and it seems to be a known issue...see intel site

I am not sure if it is DVI specific....but Ive been to lazy to move my furniture to get to the back of the cpu to switch to vga.

Intel is going on and on about how the MOBO manufacturers need to fix the driver since it is somehow integrated.

any thoughts?

you are not understanding the problem though.....

I don't have ANY problems after I reset.  

In other words, because i cannot even see anything NO BIOS, NO POST, NO NOTHING FROM THE MOMENT I POWER ON.....I have no choice but to reset.   I am talking about NOTHING -- all the monitor says for a short time is "no signal"   ....so I cannot boot anywhere until I see the monitor come on.     Once it comes on....everything is perfect.....I can boot into safe or normal or anything i want.

Bios is set to IGFX  , 1024 and MAX
