Pc shuts down and fans go full blast

[Cheekykid]

This is out of the box new.

I have not put it in the case yet. Its on a cardboard.

cpu, gpu, keyboard, ram, 24pin, 8 pin, cooling fan are all connected. GPU led lights do come and stay on nothing else though.

Good on the first two points but the GPU LEDs not sure on, it does mean that the MB has some power present.

What are you using for a PSU.

You mention shorting the PW, please explain what you did.

[Cheekykid]

PSU: Asus ROG Strix 750W Gold Aura

I am shorting with a screwdriver. I know I’m shorting the right pins coz I was referring directly from the board’s manual.

[phillpower2]

I prefer a paperclip bent into a U shape but the idea is the same, the correct pins are shown in the attachment below;

[Cheekykid]

Yes, those two. Just tried with a paper clip too but nothing. Could it be a faulty cpu thats preventing the mobo from powering up?

[Cheekykid]

Ok, I found the problem. I became very suspicious that it might be the cpu so I took it out and examined the pins under magnification and sure enough one was bent! I would have never noticed it without magnification.

I did try put the cpu back on my old MB but that one remains dead. At least now we know the new MB is working. It powers up fine but it requires my cpu to be on it and nothing else. I will now re-assemble everything and try boot.

Question: My current hard drive has drivers installed for my old MB. Should I just uninstall them and install those from Gigabyte without going into safe mode etc?

[phillpower2]

Ouch, is all now okay with the new MB.

Question: My current hard drive has drivers installed for my old MB. Should I just uninstall them and install those from Gigabyte without going into safe mode etc?

It is always best to just do a clean install because the alternative is to try and boot into Safe Mode only ( No Networking ) and then one by one find and uninstall all the previously installed system drivers, if you don’t do this and you try and boot straight from the drive Windows will try and load the old system drivers with the new MB and you will get BSOD at the very least and this if the system will attempt to boot at all.

@Cheekykid - any luck?

[Cheekykid]

System is up and running just as of today. I set Dimms to 1.35V and 3200mhz as recommended. Waiting to see how things pan out and will report back.

[Bruce]

Excellent, we’ll leave this for a couple of days and see how it goes. (y)

First blue screen:

Bugcheck code: 0x20001(0x26, 0x0, 0xFFFFF80172027F1B, 0xFFFFA981855C6E70)
Bugcheck name: HYPERVISOR_ERROR
Bug check description: The hypervisor has encountered a fatal error.

[Cheekykid]

I have a suspicion this is from my Ram. Should I bring down the voltage a bit? This is the first time ever I get this type of blue screen.

Do note: I have 4 dimms, of the exact same brand but bought at different times so the 2 newer ones have different version number on them. These are stacked 1st-2nd slot for the old ones and 3rd-4th for the newer ones.

[phillpower2]

The RAM should be placed as matching pairs in the corresponding slots as in the two old in slots A2 and B2 and the new in in A1 and B1, if you have problems you then try switching the two in the primary A2 and B2 into the secondary A1 and B1 slots.

Any further BSOD please start a new thread on the appropriate BSOD forum where we can analyse the dmp files.

[Cheekykid]

Ok that is done, dimms in correct positions. I’ll give it some time now. It is encouraging a bit that up until now I haven’t got any of the old BSOD’s.

[phillpower2]

Fingers crossed for you.
