My PC specs are also identical: ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming/acI7-6700k Corsair Vegennce 3200 16-18-18-35 2x16gb Corsair RMi 650 PSU Crucial CT750MX SSD Crucial H100i v2 WaterCooling Asus GTX1080 After upgrading my 1.50 BIOS to 2.10, I experienced the exact same symptoms as gusviper and Snipeuout. Only power cycling my PSU brings my system back. After a shutdown or standby without power cycling the PSU, the system will light up some LEDs and a few fans start spinning, but there is no HDD activity. Also the AsRock safe boot feature (after a defined number of failed boots) doesn't kick in. POST is definitely not performed. After I flashed back to 1.50 and loading UEFI default values, everything is back to normal. Hopefully adjusting the VCCIO voltage helps. Nevertheless, AsRock has an issue which needs to be addressed. |
Interesting how the issue is plaguing everyone with Vengeance 3200 memory. I wonder if this is purely a coincidence. Don't see how this memory (at JEDEC or XMP speed) would cause the system to fail to boot with 2.0/2.1.
