Title: X99 Ud5 wifi: internal power button flash when power supply switch on.
Post by: Aliharv15 on April 30, 2015, 10:55:27 pm
Built my friends computer about two months ago using the ud5 wifi x99 board and it's been working fine up until now.

It is currently configured with:
Intel i7 5820
32gb G. Skillz ram kit (over 8 dimms)
Quadro k4200
Samsung 850 evo boot drive
Corsair 650w rm series

Last night the machine was working perfectly fine however this morning after a clean shutdown last night, it refuses to start. The internal power button which normally lights up solid when the power supply is on,  no longer glows when power is applied. Instead when the psu power switch is flipped the internal mb power button flashes once and the computer is unusable.

I think this is a power supply issue possibly however I was wondering if anyone has came across a similar issue with their actual motherboard.

It did it ONE time and now is fine. I think it was a static shock that may have caused it.

Awesome, thanks mate. So you just took it apart completely and it seemed to work?  Did you remove the cpu and ram or just take the mb out of its case?

All fixed now. Took the power supply in for testing and it was working fine.

Turns out it was a bios issue. Same as @digital nomad I took the battery out and it started responding to power enough that I could flash the bios.

Life's good :)

I had the motherboard sitting in the box and was about to remove the heat sink, cpu and ram to ship it out and decided to try it one more time. Glad I didn't send it back because since I posted, I have had ZERO problems.

Aliharv15,

What BIOS version did the board have before you flashed it? Also, when you shut off the computer, do you leave the power supply switch on, or do you switch it off?

I usually shut off the power supply too and was wondering if that may have been a common denominator with our issue.
