I have an Asrock 990FX Extreme 6 motherboard that has been having boot issues. Initially, it would occasionally refuse to boot. After encouragement (reboot...reboot..reboot) it would finally boot Windows and things would operate as usual. Recently, I have been taking that system with the Extreme 6 motherboard to my shop for use there. It refuses to boot worse then normal and has recently been losing the bios info i.e. date and time. I replaced the battery and still the issue persist. Other than being board related what other troubleshooting should one look at? All hardware has been tested. Windows has been freshly installed as of a week ago. Drive is formatted gpt and bios is set corect for the drive.

" rel="nofollow - Meh, this is me talking, not ASRock I'm not a fan of Raidmax. Plus I consider the PSU to be the foundation of any computer system. Raidmax fits a lot of folks budgets yet they're woefully overrated output wise when it comes right down to where the rubber hits the road. That R9-380 req's a min of 550w psu. Which, IMO, is probably nearer to your Raidmax PSU's total combined output than either of us would like to imagine. Sad. I know. For a test ....... Do you have a low ball GPU you can throw in there to see if it fires and runs properly? |

I have a Sapphire R9 270 I could swap in. That's as low as I have on hand. As far as the PSU, I do have an XFX TS850 I could swap in (not as clean to wire in  ). ------------- By TechnoG |

Meh, dunno if that R9 270 would make any noticeable change/difference. It needs a 450w rec'd PSU. Thankfully XFX usually market excellent PSUs  The XFX TS Series PSUs were all made by Seasonic, the only PSU I use.It's only temporary to enable this test. |
