I think I spoke too soon as last night it was crashing approximely every 5 minutes so I gave up before I launched it through the window.
 
I have tried a range of different stress test utilities on the system and they all pass apart from MEMTEST86 which reports multiple errors within minutes.
 
I have used Memtest on previous builds and never seen errors so I assume this is not normal.
Do you think this could be the cause of my random crashes and actually nothing to do with temperature?
 
I have reported the issue to Kingston technical support as the memory is only 2 weeks old so hopefully if it is the memory I can get a replacement ASAP

Immediate errors in Memtest is an indication of bad ram modules. Test #5 is the most stressful but if you're seeing errors right away,...

With power completely off the system, remove all the ram modules but one,...DO NOT TOUCH the ram module contacts and keep one hand on the case to ground yourself.

UEFI defaults, please.

Run memtest. If errors, shut down and repeat of each of the other modules one by one.

What are your results?

So the tech guy from the cable company came out today.
Seems it was a CHEAP cat5 cable the installer used.
I had switched it out with another cheap one from another installer.
A good cat 5 e cable changed things from about 90 mbs to 360 mbs.
Happy guy here.

This only reinforces my belief that it an ethernet cable that connects one of your three devices. Either between the two ARRIS devices or there to the computer.

Oh well i build a new z97 based system with an extreme4 and i'm getting a bunch of post codes on dr.debug. I don't even know for what thing some of them are.
I'm getting the codes with that order 4F, b2, 78, 99, b4, A2
the strange thing is that it doesn't stuck on any code & it boots as it should be...but i have some other issues
1) when i switch the PSU from ON to OFF and again to ON, power button doesn't work for the next couple of minutes.
2a) after a windows restart, windows doesn't recognize the pcie wireless card (not a windows or driver issue, card works fine on another machine)
2b) also GPU acts strange sometimes during gameplays, when switch from the select menus to gameplay and back, the stuttering starts, until i reload the game.
3) "Restore on AC/Power Loss" on bios is set to "Power Of" but the system start up when the power recovers.

Clear CMOS didn't help in any case.

PSU : Seasonic Platinum 660 XP2
M/B : Z97 Extreme 4    Bios version : 2.50
CPU: i7 4790K
RAM: F3-2400C10D-16GTX (run at 1600MHz)
GPU: Gigabyte gtx970 G1

I repeated memtest and appear to have narrowed it down to 2 faulty DIMMS.
 
With 1 pair I was able to leave Memtest running for 2 hrs with no errors detected with either of the other 2 I had errors within seconds.
 
They were bought as a kit of 4 x 4gb but it seems 2 of them are not working correctly so I will report my findings back to Kingston and see if I can get a replacement.

The Dr Debug display always shows POST codes as POST runs. That is normal and does not indicate a problem, that's how the Dr Debug display works.

If a POST process test fails, the code of that test remains on the display. The OS will not boot, and you cannot get into the UEFI/BIOS UI if that occurs.

If the PC boots or you are able to get into the UEFI/BIOS UI, then POST completed successfully.

What version of Windows are you using?

How did you install drivers and mother board software on this PC?

When the power button on the PC case does not work, after turning the PSU on again, look at the network cable input on the board's IO panel. Do you see any of the two small LEDs next to that input light up? That is, if you have an active network cable connected to the network input. I'm trying to determine if power is being applied to the board.

Are you turning the PSU off after you shutdown the PC, and then turn on the PSU later on?

About the wireless card, what model is it and which slot is it being used in? Are you using the Fast Boot option?

About the Restore on AC/Power Loss situation, in the UEFI/BIOS, Advanced screen, Intel Smart Connect Technology screen, is that feature enabled or disabled? If you don't use that feature, set it to Disabled. Otherwise, that feature may be starting the PC when power is restored.

Regarding your GPU acting strange sometimes, why do you think it is related to the mother board?

I have a few questions too.

Have you connected BOTH PCIe 6-pin _and _8-pin power c onnected directly from the PSU to the GPU? No adapters, no nothing? Both 6 and 8 pins straight to the GPU?

Single GPU, or SLI?

Full 8-pin ATX12V1 CPU Power connected?

Something to try. In the middle of the board is a 4-pin molex Additional PCIe Power connector. Plug a molex on there as a test to. No harm will come of you doing this. Its purpose is to provide an additional power source to the PCIe bus should the bus need it.

I have a different ASRock X99 board, the X99 Extreme6/3.1.

I use two NVMe SSDs in that PC, two Intel 750s, and multiple SATA SSDs, including two Intel 730s in RAID 0.

I have never seen anything like the Boot Manager screen shown above, as well as never had a report of the X99 Taichi's UEFI/BIOS doing what was shown. Frankly, that is the first time I've ever seen anything like that with any ASRock mother board.

Either that was a UEFI/BIOS corruption, or something else is causing that to happen. I wonder what UEFI/BIOS update method was used. I have never had any problems with the SATA interfaces with my X99 board, or with the NVMe SSDs whatsoever.

Then I noticed in the screenshots, an OCZ Agility 3 SSD. I'm struggling to remember if it was the Agility 3, or another OCZ SSD, but at least one of the older OCZ SSDs was found to have issues when used with the newer Intel SATA interfaces. That information was posted on OCZ's website, but after their acquisition by Toshiba, that information was removed long ago.

***SOLVED!!! Holly madapasta, seems that everything was a bios issue. I switched back to bios v1.3 from back-up bios_b and everything seems to be back to normal. (need to test some more the GPU issue within games though)
Also now post codes changed a bit... i'm now getting  4F, b2, 99, 9C, b4, A2  for what it's worth! Anyone care to explain the meanings?! :)

Thanks for the info, i didn't know it works in that way.

I don't have an ethernet access nearby but i connected an external 2,5 hdd and it started as soon as i turned on the PSU so power is being applied to the board.

Maybe because everything points to the M/B ?
PSU voltages looks fine with aida64 & in bios.
I don't have issues with any stress test.
Honestly, don't know what its wrong with GPU if its not the M/B :/

POST codes are system checks, the indicator simply tells you what part of POST is happening. If there is a problem with a particular part that code will remain on the display, the code will then correlate to a particular test (detailed in the user manual) and give you an idea of what is wrong.

OK...found the solution.

For some reason, when you take a GPT drive with Arch linux that works on one board and drop it in a new set-up with the exact same hardware, the board does not detected a Linux boot partition.

The solution was the following:

Boot with a live CD.  

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt  (this is the main linux partition)
mkdir -p /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
rm /boot/loader/loader.conf
bootctl --path=/boot install

This re-installs the linux boot files and the board will now recognize and boot from the Linux Boot Manager

Then if I built another unit and installed this same drive, I would have to do the same thing again on the new board.

Why the board needs to have the bootloader re-installed on a drive that already has one is beyond me.  But hey, it works and that is all I was after.

I'm afraid that's all we get. The codes are broken down in such a way as to point you in the right direction. So if we get stuck on an A5 code then we know it is storage related so try another cable, drive or power cable to the drive etc. The information is actually pretty helpful if you know how to use it. 

The descriptions of the different codes are grouped by component. As you can see there are a lot of codes related to memory for example, this is because there are a lot of POST tests regarding memory. Knowing what a particular code within that group means is largely irrelevant in solving a memory problem, you only really have a few things you can do; try different RAM, try another slot and clear CMOS and see if it the system detects your RAM correctly with a clean slate. The same principal applies to SATA devices, PCIe devices etc.

Knowing that an XX (made up) code means a buffer init overrun in sector A0 on your RAM isn't going to help you fix it any more than simply knowing it is a memory error.

As for changing codes, you need to bare in mind that POST runs through hundreds of tests, most take place so fast they don't even show in the debug LED unless the system freezes during one of them. Different UEFI settings can cause a different set of codes to display. So long as the debug LED clears and the system begins to boot, none of the data displayed matters. 

I get the curiosity, I hate not knowing how things work too Wink

If you really want to look into the meanings of more of the codes and are prepared to spend weeks -months researching the different terms and tests you can google AMI post codes and get them right from the source. These codes should be common across all platforms that use AMI BIOS ROMs. This is only really useful if you are planning on getting into BIOS modding though Wink
