Hi there,
So yesterday I successfully swapped out my case and upgraded my pc and everything was working fine

Today I bootup and it says there is a problem with windows and to launch windows repair or reboot so I clicked reboot and now I can't get past the bios and I am completely stuck, I've loaded defaults and tried to reboot but still straight to the bios

No error messages appear. I even took it all apart and put it all back together checking all connections and it's all connected…
Any one know what I need to do?

what did you upgrade? your ram?
windows repair shows up for me on boot if my ram oc is not stable.
can you post your full system specs?

I added 2 of the exact same GPUs and yeah I bought another 4 sticks of the exact same memory I had before and stuck them in so now I have 8 sticks
Nothing is overclocked


Rampage V extreme
Intel 5930k
32gb G-skill RIP jaw ddr4
H100i
3 GTX980 Strix

whats the ram frequency? did you add some vccsa voltage ? id pull 4 sticks out and see if this works. this way you know at least whats the problem, then start tweaking voltages

Hi Ashhh,

Check your boot order that your ssd with the OS is Boot priority 1.

Remove the 4 sticks you added this could be contributing to the problem, it's not a good idea to combine ram kits even of the same specs. Sometimes it will work and sometimes not.

List your psu too.

Boot order is correct but it won't boot
I can't remove the 4 sticks because they are mixed up now 😞

pull all of them out and check/combine their serial numbers on the sticker

Right I put in the 4 original sticks and I still only go to the bios

Assuming you have a PSU with power/amps enough to power the GPUs and have plugged in the EZ plug molex connection....It's highly likely you'll have more joy removing the added RAM

If you do want to try combining kits, set up the memory manually....might work if you are lucky and if you take the time to tweak...might not...
