Hi,

Sorry my english is not very well.
I am a French language person.

So, your cpu or ram are overclocked ?

Have you make modificication in bios since you have a motherboard?
The last time where you have not this situation ( actual problem ),
What is a context in bios or general use in computer ?
Date time of start problem situation?

Your power supply is okay ?
Give us company and model name. With a exact web page of Manufacturer, please.

Hello,

Here are my answers:

So, your cpu or ram are overclocked ?
No! They are not overclicked.

Have you make modificication in bios since you have a motherboard?
No! The BIOS has the initial version F1. The BIOS is by default. I have loaded it in "Load Optimized Defaults" without success...

The last time where you have not this situation ( actual problem ),
Unfortunately the problem started 1-2 weeks after installation of PC. Can motherboard have manufacture problem?

What is a context in bios or general use in computer ?
That question I couldn't understand very well. I use the computer for gaming and office.

Date time of start problem situation?
See answer above. When I shutdown the PC in next start, but not every time, freezes on Initial BIOS screen. If I restarted by pressing of Restart button it starts normally and load OS(Windows 8.1).

Your power supply is okay ? Give us company and model name. With a exact web page of Manufacturer, please.
I have PS - Cooler Master GX 550W. http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/gx-series/gx-550w/
 It works well. I have checked the voltages - no problems!

Hi,  

Your power supply have a combined :
Watt :528
Amperage :44

in single Rail :  Good.

Maybe is too little for your computer.

The Sapphiretech recommand 500W , of course.. but at seems is a minimal config.  Not Optimal.

Hi Lokoto,

I would suggest updating the BIOS to the F2 version which you can download from here: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4761#bios and see if that helps to resolve the problem.

Guys,

I've solved the problem.
When I disabled Intel Processor Graphics all went perfect.
Questions have left - why by default Initial display output is PCIEX16 when Intel Processor Graphics is by default enabled??? Wrong Bios ?
Every second will have aditionall videocard instaled...

No it should have come from the factory set with the PCIe slot first. If it was set to this the onboard graphics as the first display. Then somebody change it. This is from the book.

Initial Display Output
Specifies the first initiation of the monitor display from the installed PCI graphics card, PCI Express graphics card or the onboard graphics.
 IGFX            Sets   the   onboard   graphics   as   the   first   display.
 PCIe   1   Slot    Sets   the   graphics   card   on   the   PCIEX16   slot   as   the   first   display.   (Default)
 PCI                   Sets   the   graphics   card   on   the   PCI   slot   as   the   first   display

Just to clarify:
In the same manual is written:

Intel Processor Graphics
Enables or disables the onboard graphics function. (Default: Enabled)

Here is the problem! When it is enabled it go in conflict with Initial Display Output option.
Why the option Intel Processor Graphics is not sub-option of Initial Display Output

I could see them doing something like that. Just in case you didn't have a video card. But the thing is the PCIe slot should over rule the CPU.

When you have a video card in place. That is the way it should work. But again you are dealing with the problem child Z87 boards.

You know the funny part about this is that they should put something in there. To tell you to disable that if you are using a video card.

The only reason I put that up was that is the first thing that shows up in the book. Who would have thought that they would put that about the CPU.

Just a few lines down in the book too. Let see here let's flip a coin to see what one we want to boot from.

Oh what the hell we'll enable both of them. That way we have a 50/50 chance one will work.
