Z77X-D3H boot failure

Z77X-D3H boot failure
« on: April 25, 2012, 10:37:21 pm »
Hi guys

I seem to be having a strange issue with my new z77x-d3h board where it will just randomly on a reboot inform me of a boot failure. I have not overclocked anything, everything is on auto voltage the only thing i changed was the memory to the xmp profile so it ran at its full 1600mhz speed. I am going to run memtest just to rule out any issue with my memory which is 8gb corsair arctic white low profile. The strange thing is when the message appears i click to go into the bios and i dont change anything and press f10 and then it will boot into windows fine even though it has the same settings it told me produced a boot failure. I am running bios F6

Any ideas to why this might be? CPU temps are idle at 25c, motherboard temps 30c and PCH showing 48c so i dont think anything is overheating. The CPU vcore is auto like everything else with all the downclocking etc on enabled

Hope someone can help

Cheers

Liam

Try latest BIOS F7 or latest beta F7h.

Hi

I agree, it does sound like a BIOS issue. As ex58 says upgrade your BIOS to the latest version and see if that cures it.

Craney this has happened to me too, just saying your not alone. I'm starting my own thread.

Please do make sure though that although you have upgraded to the latest BIOS that the Backup BIOS hasn't kicked in and overwritten the Main BIOS with it's older version again. If it has I would suggest flashing it to the new version and then synchronising the two BIOSes so they are both running the same version.

Btw,
I have also Z77X-D3H more then 1 month and no major issue so far.Flashed Backup BIOS with F7.
This week probably new Beta BIOS will be released.
