G20aj No signal, Gpu Fan at Full Speed

[zhangyifu]

I recently bought a G20aj with a GTX 760, and I us an HDMI cable for the monitor. BUt occasionally when I boot the computer, there's no signal and the Gpu fan runs at full speed. Everything started to work fine after a force restart. Any solutions? BTW my Cpu fan would go pull speed for 3 to 4 seconds on startup, which is quite stange.

Gents, just wanted to let you know that I have solved my cold boot issues once and for all!

I decided to upgrade the old 960 to a PNY 1060 6GB blower card. The card upgrade did not fix the cold boot issues.

It suddenly occurred to me that regularly during my cold boots I was having to always change chipset HDD settings from RAID (BIOS default) to AHCI in order to get a boot in to Windows. My theory was that the BIOS settings weren't being saved upon shutdown. I decided to go ahead and replace the Motherboard battery (CR2032). Now I have not experienced any cold boot problems for over 2 weeks. This was a pain in the ass as far as disassembly/reassembly but worth it in the end!*

I recommend replacing your BIOS battery ($5 + 30mins) and your cold boot issues shout disappear! I'm very happy with the boot times and performance of the G20 now. And even though mine only has the i5, the GTX 1060 has made this thing a 1080p beast!

Good luck!*

nice mate, sounds like it did the trick

upgrade to a nice i7 4790k 🙂

Funny you should say that becuase I did use your videos on YT as a guide for all the work I did recently - thank you. I went with a 4770 non-K becuase this motherboard doesn't support overclocking and an extra 8GB DDR3. Beast!

I really hope the other guys in this thread see my post above about the BIOS battery fix.

Just a quick update to confirm that during the colder autumn nights here in New Zeakand I'm still NOT having any of the cold boot issues since I replaced the BIOS battery.

Cheers*
