Hello. So my motherboard is Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark2. Today i get freez crash in BIOS UEFI. The mouse was frozen, keyboard does nothing, but the various component monitors was displaying properly(the fans under FAN Profile was spinning, the CPU Temperature, CPU Voltage, and Motherboard Temperature showing status actually correctly). Only mouse and keyboard was not responding. What can caused that crash? Or my memory is faulty or motherboard?
If i remember i plugged pendrive usb when i was in bios. That is the reason or maybe not? But i was try to reproduce this and no crash again.


Mobo is Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark2
Psu is Corsair 750 RM
ram Kingston Hyperx 2x8gb DDR3 1600mhz
cpu 4790k no OC.

Also i tested memory with memtest86 20 hours without error.

I'm leaning towards your pen drive causing the crash. Like I say if it only happened once and hasn't happened again do not worry or you'll turn grey at a young age. 😄



The usual culprit is your heatsink not installed peoperly causing the cpy to overheat

You want to check the ram manufacturers site for compatibility.

The HyperX Fury is compatible with the Sabertooth z97 Mark2 motherboard.

Hello kthejoker20

If that was the case his system would be crashing all the time, sde444 has not reported high cpu temps.
