[SOLVED] Gigabyte Z390 Pro cold boot POST odd behavior

r0b0t · 2019-05-11 22:37:50

As the subject suggests, if I turn off the PC (however without unplugging the power cable), if I wake up in the morning and try to power it up , I see the lights come up but nothing on screen.
I turn it of and on again few times (usually 3) and the forth time it starts up without issues.
For some reason it doesn't do this whenever the shut down has been recent.

My guess is that it's trying to find some profile or something and it's lost if the PC isn't powered on "soon" enough.
Any idea how to "fix" this behavior?

I did read a bunch of similar problems , but I have no idea.

- No overclocking applied whatsoever.
- very few tweaks here and there on the bios, but nothing that messes with the power & so on.

It's quite annoying as problem.

Power supply on the way out, would be my guess.

I've had the same issues over the years. Usually, as Jasonwryan says, it was the power supply. Sometimes, it was the cpu. Once, it was a memory stick.

Hmm, I don't think any component it's failing , if I'm not mistaken here this started after I removed the GPU from the board and started running on the integrated GPU.
Last night I reset the UEFI firmware settings to default and strangely enough it booted on the first try. I'll wait few more days and see if the problem arises again, hopefully the PSU is ok (used only one month, and it's a platinum corsair ...)

Yeah... That would have been relevant information...

Yeah, resetting the UEFI firmware settings to defaults did the trick, the system boots normally now.
