I'm sorry, but I don't understand what, "... it boots with no power or display for 30 seconds...".
"It boots" implies something is happening with the PC, it is running, fans are spinning, drives are starting, etc. If you press the power button and nothing at all happens, no activity from the PC at all, that is not booting.
If you mean the PC starts, but you simply get nothing on your monitor for 30 seconds, I don't understand how the PC has "no power" or "displays no power".
The Z97 Extreme4 board has the Dr Debug LEDs that displays POST codes when the PC starts. Is the Dr Debug display on and displaying codes when you start the PC? Do you see one code displayed continuously on the Dr Debug display?
If the PC seems to lose power after operating for a short time, did you try another power supply?
The Primera duplicators I found use a USB 3.0 interface to the PC, correct? USB connected devices slow down the POST process, which may be why POST takes a long time. Your board has USB 3.0 ports provided by the Intel chipset, and the add on ASMedia USB 3.0 chip. Which USB 3.0 ports are you using?
What model of PSU are you using?
If you've had problems with the board for months, and you are sure it is the board, why didn't you return it to the retailer for a replacement, or send it to ASRock by an RMA process?

I'd had the system power up problem for months, but now it boots with no power or display for 30 seconds, turns off for a few and then continues to boot and run for 30 seconds (no display of power or monitor) over and over. We put this machine into service a year ago as a duplicator for our Primera sysem and failed many times to dupe more than a handful of CDs/DVDs/blu-ray. It seemed to just lose power after having been on for a short time, and caused errors with the Primera duplicators. Any ideas as to what is causing the board to fail? |
