Hello, I have recently come into a strange problem. When my PC goes into sleep mode, and I try to wake it, the motherboard shows 00 despite the fans still running. I have to manually power it off with the power button on my case. Once the PC is completely off, when I turn it back on the computer turns on for a second or two, then shuts off, it automatically turns back on, and shuts off again. It'll do this 4 or 5 times maybe until it finally works. Then everything goes as normal. It is definitely worth noting that about 2 months ago installed Kubuntu as my default OS on a secondary SSD. I have Windows 10 Pro on an M.2 NVMe drive. Everything worked as normal for several months until yesterday when this problem occurred the first time. I am unsure if this is related to a new hardware issue or not. I have had some issues with this motherboard in the past but nothing in a long time. I have not changed any settings in the UEFI/BIOS recently. My overclock has been completely stable since 2017. My build: CPU AMD - Ryzen 7 1700 3.0GHz 8-Core Processor (Pstates OC 3.8 stable) CPU Cooler Corsair - H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Motherboard ASRock - X370 Taichi ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory Storage (Windows 10 Pro OS) Samsung 960 EVO 250GB M.2 NVMe SSD Storage (Kubuntu Linux OS) Samsung 850 EVO SSD Video Card XFX - Radeon RX 480 8GB RS Video Card Case Phanteks - Enthoo Pro M Tempered Glass Power Supply SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold 850W Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide. Thank you |

also to note what bios are you on ? there were some pretty weird buggy x370 taichi bios versions released i stayed on version 3.1 for all the time i ran the 1700 in mine as it had no bugs and done the job nicely (only upgraded to a later bios to use the 3800x cpu) ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250]  [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

I will try that later this weekend, I have been very busy at work lately. The OC is @ 3.8GHz on all cores at stock voltage. It has been completely stable since 2017 but it could be that something with Linux isn't agreeing with it, especially since it is booting to it default now.
BIOS Information Vendor: American Megatrends Inc. Version: P3.20 Release Date: 09/08/2017 As you can see, I'm still on an old version of the BIOS for the same reason as you. This is the update where everything worked perfectly. RAM ran at correct speeds, everything was better. I read I can update to as late as 5.10 for 1st Gen Ryzen. But I've also read mixed things. Some people were claiming later BIOS than 3.20 were actually worse for 1st Gen. Others were claiming they're all completely stable to about 5.10. Basically anything before the 3rd Gen AGESA 3.0 updates. I'd like to see if I can sniff out another solution before I do that. I'll start by removing my overclock and see if the problem magically disappears. If it doesn't, I'll switch Windows back to the default boot OS and see if that fixes it. I was just hoping maybe someone had a quick solution. Appreciate your input |

Hello my friend, base on the above quote plus your title = turning off and on repeatedly on boot I would like to remind "life expectancy" of the CPU is starting to degrade. I'd second @RLGL a million %, dump the overclock. Yes you didn't increase voltage, but default 3.4Ghz to 3.8Ghz for 3 years is not short. Our 14nm is not as harden as previous....... say 45nm die. I'm not betting on 10 years life out of them...... My Phenom_II_965BE (45nm) only lasted 7 years with total accumulated overclock to 3.9Ghz less than 1 year duration (gaming only then OC), now it does not run stable at 3.4Ghz anymore. Gotto underclock and under volt to use as browser and video etc. Else crash and reboot randomly, a bit just like your case now. ------------- x370taichi@3.50gen4 AX750 Optane900P SN770 3800x PosdonZro4 BarrowPWM-17w>420x140x28 XFX SWFT319 6900XT MSI RX560 LP to get Fluid Motion BlueskyFRC 75hz |
