« on: March 18, 2014, 02:50:28 pm »
Hi

I'm talking about the CMOS setup / Advanced CMOS settings.. Not the BIOS.. I've been searching in bios but I cant find it anywhere. When you enter advanced cmos settings you have the option to increase the delay to HDD among other things.

Try and change it Legacy boot in Boot Mode Selection.

Doesnt work...Same thing again, i turned off the computer for 2 hours and it wouldnt boot cold.. Fans and everything is spinning but I'm not getting a signal to my monitor. I have to restart several times + hold the power button, before it works.

I had the same damn problem with my old board (ASUS P8P67 Pro) back then I tried to replace my memory to no avail. And now new motherboard and new CPU (i5 4670k) same damn problem... Its driving me insane!!!

Could it be my PSU ? Coolermaster Silent Pro M 700W

I'm quite sure changing the HDD delay to 2-3 seconds would fix the problem.. But I cant find it, I've searched everywhere..Really bad if they removed that option on this board..

The thing is that it sounds like you are using the same monitor right? Two different MB companies do the same thing.

I would be looking at some thing other than the MB. What are you using for video on-board or a card?

Yes I'm using only one monitor. My videocard is HD 6870 1GB. Its a horrible problem because you can never pinpoint the problem to one specific part until you replace almost everything..Like I said i suspect my PSU the most at the moment.. But it could also be my GPU or maybe HDD? It just irritates me that there isnt any option on the board to increase HDD delay to 2-3seconds, because I've read that it fixed a lot of cold boot problems for many people.
