Rampage Black IV Random Reboots

BatJoe

As per Raja's recommendation, I am starting this new thread to touch on the issue many are having with random reboots or startups with the new Rampage Black IV.

It would appear the issue at this moment based on user reports on other forums cannot be narrowed down yet to any specific system component or BIOS setting.

The problem if you are not aware of it is despite a system being fully stable in either Prime or other benchmark or general gaming the system will at random either reboot or based on some reports when the system is shut down it will magically reboot the system by itself. The reboot happens with no BSOD or other error message. The system simply shuts down for a few seconds and automatically reboots. I don't normally shut my system down completely, so I cannot confirm the system starting up by itself, but I can confirm random reboots when the system is on with no BSOD or other error message associated with the reboot.

I thought on my system I solved this with more tweaking of voltages, mainly VTT/VCCSA and CPU Vcore, and for a while my system stopped rebooting, until again it started happening over the last few days. Once again, completely at random, and even though I have not changed any system component or BIOS setting.

If anyone else is encountering this issue, please post about it on this thread with your system specs and BIOS settings. I will be updating this post with my current BIOS settings. If you know anyone on other forums you post on having this issue, either post on their behalf with their system specs and BIOS settings or tell them to register and post about it. If we can make Raja/ASUS Tech's jobs easier narrowing it down the quicker I'm sure it can be resolved.

My system specs:

Intel i7-3930K@4.5Ghz
Corsair Hydro H80i
ASUS Rampage IV Black
G.SKILL Trident X 16GB@1866MHz 8-9-9-24-2T
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti
Creative Sound Blaster Z
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB
Corsair AX750

It should be noted, I was using the same system components and same overclock on a Rampage Formula IV and all was well. Stable and no random reboots.

This what I found out:

I unplug my Nvidia GTX 690 and no random reboot for 7 days, my pc is powered down not unplugged .

Anyone any thoughts? to why the the video card is causing a random reboot?


I started another thread, but I suppose the video card also causes these issues for me? It happens when in game or visiting HTML5 (GPU rendering?) websites..

May or may not be on to something. I'm swapping my mobo out and if I still get the same reboot issues, I have a really nice ASRock Extreme11 that's going to do the job.
