Make sure your AIO (Waterforce) is properly connected. Here is the installation
guide I found on Gigabyte's website. If the CPU block isn't getting power the
CPU could be overheating. The BIOS and POST process really heat up the CPU, far
more than you will experience at the desktop. ]]> Sat, 11 Oct 2025 18:59:57 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=199196&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#199196 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=199195&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#199195 Author: lleomat1

I am having a weird issue with this motherboard, it won't even go to bios, it shuts down after code f3 c3, I managed to get in the bios twice but it shuts down shortly after, I tried to use only 1 memory , I replaced the psu, I uninstalled all drives including sata ssds and nvme ssds, I reaseated the processor, I have tried everything and still I can't make it stay in the bios for more than 1 minute, I am kinda desperate because RMA is something kinda impossible where I live, Hope you can help me, I am using a 9900x and 64 gb of ram]]> Sat, 11 Oct 2025 16:14:27 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=199193&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#199193 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=199016&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#199016 Author: Xaltar

The gremlins just get you sometimes. It's always a pain. Glad you got the system
up properly at last. There is nothing worse than an issue you can't figure out.
Sometimes you just have to pull the ripcord and go another direction. Hopefully it's
smooth sailing from here on out.]]> Thu, 18 Sep 2025 15:21:31 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=199016&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#199016 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=199014&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#199014 Author: greg0828

Ok, so I tried a new set of ram and no luck. Tried disconnecting my extra hard drives, clearing CMOS again, etc. Finally bought an ASUS motherboard and swapped everything. No issues. I am not sure what on the board would cause this. Since I tried 4 different BIOS versions, I doubt it was a bad install or version for my system. ]]> Thu, 18 Sep 2025 08:36:32 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=199014&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#199014 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=198991&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#198991 Author: greg0828

So I tried going to BIOS 3.40 and bios was staying on dark screens for long times and it was difficult getting into BIOS menu. System wouldnt boot. Then I tried 3.30, same issue. I didnt have 3.25 to revert to but I had 3.10 and going to that got me back to the same place I was at, which is boot loop when I restart windows vs power down.

I am using 2 sticks of 48 gb DDR5 6000 ram and I dont see this on a lot of CPU compatibility tables for the 7000 series. 9000 I see it. I tried removing 1 stick and same issue. Havent tried other ram. The error during bios loop is 4d. ]]> Tue, 16 Sep 2025 04:27:30 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=198991&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#198991 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=198983&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#198983 Author: greg0828

After boot, when Windows fully loaded, the mother board was displaying code 53. Then a little later it started cycling through temps I believe. Maybe 53 wsa a temp....53 is also about ram not initializing I think]]> Mon, 15 Sep 2025 15:56:54 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=198983&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#198983 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=198981&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#198981 Author: greg0828

When I started Windows I saw an ASRock message about a BIOS update, but looks like I was confused. I am on BIOS version 3.25. Should I update to 3.30 or 3.40? The error I get is 4d on the motherboard which is related to ram not initializing.

I started with Windows 10 on an old M2 drive and have changed to Windows 11 on a new M2 drive. So I have changed both drives and Windows although I cloned Windows 10 over and then upgraded vs a clean install. I dont think this would cause a 4d error. ]]> Mon, 15 Sep 2025 15:40:36 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=198981&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#198981 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=198980&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#198980 Author: Xaltar

Given the issue is repeatable but specific to restarting, I would suspect an OS
issue that has survived migration between drives.

Have you tried a fresh drive with a fresh OS install? UEFI flags are stored on your
drive by the OS so if you keep pushing cloned data onto your new drives you could
simply be pushing the issue from one drive to the next. I hope this makes sense.]]> Mon, 15 Sep 2025 15:24:45 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113326&PID=198980&title=x870e-nova-boot-issue-bios-loop#198980
