Strix WiFi D4 stuck on green boot LED and won’t clear CMOS.

[Slash621]

Earlier today I was running fine on the new x129 bios. I’d done many restarts setting up windows and all that….

Once I was setup and stable I decided to try for a -0.1 global svid under volt. Before I was setup as default factory F5 settings plus xmp I for my ram and leaving the intel extreme preset on.

My only change was the global svid under volt with a confirmed minus sign and 0.1 to base (not turbo) voltages. I booted up, passed cinebench r23 and locked up when I ran R15. At the time of lockup temps were around 52C and voltages all around 1.2-1.3.

On the next boot it stuck at the green led for 30 mins. I powered off and pressed the CMOS reset. It remains sticking at green led when I power on. I’ve tried removing power cable for 2 hours and also tried placing monitor output to motherboard instead of my 4090. I don’t get any change via BIOS Flashback. I’ve tried CMOS reset several more times.

Any ideas? I’m stumped.

For background. This setup has been running great since 13900k launch day and was on the may BIOS until yesterday.   I’ve never suffered degradation or instability and never exceeded 1.4v during its life (manual volts around 1.3 for the OC I had before).

Hi @Slash621 what steps are you following to clear your CMOS. The official FAQ article for CLEAR CMOS is https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1040820/

What is the full model number of your STRIX board so we can help you better?

1. Check Hardware Connections and BIOS Settings:

Verify hardware connections: Ensure the CPU, RAM, GPU, and storage devices are securely seated. Check for any bent pins or loose connections.
Reset BIOS to default settings: Access the BIOS setup and load the default BIOS settings. This can help rule out any incorrect BIOS configurations.
Update BIOS: If available, update the BIOS to the latest version. This might address compatibility issues or bugs.

2. Test Components Individually:

Remove components one by one: Start by removing the GPU and see if the system boots. If it does, try adding the GPU back in.
Test with different RAM modules: Swap the RAM modules to isolate any faulty ones.
Check CPU compatibility: Ensure the CPU is compatible with the motherboard's socket and chipset.

3. Check Power Supply:

Test with a different power supply: A faulty power supply can prevent the system from booting. Try using a known-good power supply.
Check power supply cables: Ensure the power supply cables are securely connected and not damaged.

4. Consider Motherboard Replacement:

If all else fails: If the issue persists after trying the above steps, the motherboard might be faulty. Consider replacing it.

Additional Tips:

Check for any error codes: Look for any error codes displayed on the motherboard or monitor. These can provide clues about the problem.
Consult the motherboard manual: Refer to the motherboard's manual for specific troubleshooting steps and information.
