Just bought a new GA-H87-HD3 and i got a loop boot (boot + power led on + fans started + power led off + fan stopped + restart) and unable to go until the bios screen.
I've tried many tests (unplug all, test with 1 memory, with 2, test mobo out of case, with and without graphic card) but always same reboot.
MB : GA-H87-HD3 with Intel i5-4570
I've read that Intel i5-4570 needs bios version F5 for GA-H87-HD3.
Have i a way to check BIOS version provided with my mobo without access of bios screen ?
-
The come with the F5 bios. Look at the CPU socket to see if you don't have a bent pin.
-
No pin seems to be bent.

I have don't some testing with some of my x79 boards and points to the CPU. With the CPU in and everything else out memory and video card.
The computer will boot and just sit there running. With the CPU out it does the loop thing. What PSU do you have?
All I can tell you is sent or bring it back to where you got it. Let them test it.
-
I have a Cooler Master G500W PSU (minimum power requieremnt).
-
That PSU should be enough to test and run it too. You have 38a on the 12v rail.

I'm having this same problem with the z87. Was this ever resolved?

After a week of pulling my hair out I finally figured it out. I was having the same problem as Ssarak. PC would power on, fans start, multiple beeps then power down and repeat. It would never get to BIOS. I tried different combinations of memory slots and with a memory stick in slots 2 and 4 it would get to BIOS. If I put a stick in slots 1 or 3 I would get the error. I figured it was a bad mobo and removed everything to ship it back. I removed the cpu cooler back plate (Hyper 212 Evo) and discovered that one of the insulation pads on the back plate was missing. I put on the stock heat sink and everything booted perfectly. Slots 1 and 3 worked fine. So, the whole problem stemmed from a tiny missing pad on the cpu cooler back plate. Lesson learned.
