Hi all,
My Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z97 MB has a very strange boot-up behavior.
Here is the spec:
- i7 4790K @ Stock
- Noctua U14s + Dual NF-A15
- 16GB (8*2) Corsair Vengeance
- Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming
- 5 Sata Disk Drives (1SSD and 4HDD)
- 1 Sata DVD
- Corsair TX850 PSU
The issue can be described as follows:
- Every time that I cold boot the machine (starting it from a powered down/off state), the machine works properly and I can get into windows fine, but I can't see any post screen. It's like the machine works in the background but nothing is shown on the screen.
- Once I get into windows, if I restart the machine it posts fine and I can see the screen fine during post. I will not run into this issue again, so long as I do not power-cycle the machine. If I turn it off and then/on again... boom! Blank screen.
I also include a video to better show you how it's like.
Here are things I checked:
1. No Temp issue... my heatsink does its job wonderfully.
2. CPU/Case Fan failure warning is disabled.
3. NO Fast Boot / Ultra Fast Boot, etc is enabled.
4. My VGA is plugged in and powered properly.
5. All two ATX Power cables are plugged in properly and securely (to the MB).
6. I have two 27" screens and I turn both screens on to see if the any of them display anything during post (but none).
7. Boot with all USB cables removed.
Please note that this may not be a serious issue but it really bugs me, as it shouldn't happen and I really want to fix it. FYI, my computer works fine with no slowdown/error/BSOD or anything. It's just that first bit that bugs me.
Any comment would be appreciated!
----Please ignore my spec in my sig. It was added age ago and I will have to update it----
