Re: Welcome to GIGABYTE Technical Support!
Hello, I recently purchased a Gigabyte Z170x gaming MOBO and I am having some technical issues. Two in particular. First off, I have no experience with Gigabyte or Intel products. I came from an Asus ROG board and FX 8350. I made the switch about two weeks ago. I really like my setup and I chose Gigabyte this go around since this MOBO has a USB DAC Up that I have hooked up to my Shiit Audio Magni 2 Uber headphone amp and the Shiit Magni 2 Uber DAC. I like audio and I also have two other components that require USB 2.0.
1) After using the gigabyte easy tune to overclock the cpu (which by the way I feel totally clueless with OCing intel, so I used the gigabyte easy tune for ease) to 4.5 ghz and a 1.34 cpu voltage. I only adjusted the multiplier and cpu voltage. It is stable after an hour of Intel Extreme tune, 10 minutes of P95 Small FFT, 10 minutes o P95 blend, and 15 minutes of ROG Real Bench. My problem is this; after going back into the Gigabyte easy tune under the CPU OCing tabe I click on the default button (since I want default settings)then click apply and my computer freezes. Nothing works, but the power is on. I am left to holding down the power button on the front IO panel and it shuts off. Then I will power it back up and after a few seconds of no Q-codes on the MOBO showing, it turns itself off. Then after a few more seconds it turns my computer back on then off after a few seconds. This cycle repeats until I turn the power switch off on my PSU in the back then wait 10 seconds or so. I then flip the PSU power switch on and everything seems to work fine.
2)My second problem is that when I start up my PC and open up CPU ID, it freezes my computer also and I am left with manually powering it down then powering back up again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
