PC won't POST anymore - GA-Z77-D3H boot loop [SOLVED!]

Thanks Burpo. I got point that direction by someone else as well. That particular routine didn't work for me, but I managed to trigger the BIOS restore by holding power and reset for 10 seconds with the computer turned off but connected to power. It was listed as Method 2 here on Overclockers...

PC won't POST anymore - GA-Z77-D3H boot loop [SOLVED!]

On other advice, I took the MB out of the case and ran it bare. As before, if there's no RAM, the internal speaker makes a series of continuous beeps, if there is a stick of RAM (and I've tried various slots and RAM), it power cycles. The power cycles have a pattern: - 25 seconds on before...

PC won't POST anymore - GA-Z77-D3H boot loop [SOLVED!]

Batmeat - I've tried resetting the CMOS at various stages (missed that off the list! Oops!) but isn't that just to save the BIOS settings? Or is it actually integral to operation? Larry - The PSU seems fine to me. It ran fine for five days, so definitely not "on arrival", and it still spins up...

PC won't POST anymore - GA-Z77-D3H boot loop [SOLVED!]

Update: SOLVED! Thanks for the suggestions, I'm back up and running after triggering the BIOS backup restore by holding power and reset for 10 seconds, as in method 2 on Overclockers outlined here. I've changed the title so this should hopefully be useful for anyone with the same boot loop...

Why would/did you buy an AMD CPU?

Back to the OP again, I was rebuilding my PC in the middle of last year, with just the Radeon 7850 GPU and hard drives left intact. AMD was very much in consideration all the way through, either for an 8320 or 8350, both of which were dropping in price and would have theoretically opened the...

FX-8320 overclocking (probably obvious)

@Larry - I know the risks, but feel that the research I did in the run up does properly track the PSUs back to a reputable source. It'll do for now, anyway! @Headfoot - I'll have to note that down for next time I need to go PSU hunting. @USER8000 - I can't reply to your DM, because I don't...

FX-8320 overclocking (probably obvious)

This one's an oddity. I bought an "own brand" PSU from a local store called Novatech. However, I'd done a bit of backtracking, just to be sure it wasn't total junk, and found that their stuff was made by Sirfa, effectively being rebranded OCZ parts. The store page is here...

FX-8320 overclocking (probably obvious)

That's a crazy, crazy story. I hope AMD's console gigs can give them a platform to get back into the game. That's part of why I'm still tempted, in spite of all this, to go with an AMD set up... Play the role of the greater fool. So, though I'll give this more thought before I take the plunge...

FX-8320 overclocking (probably obvious)

Thanks guys. Definitely food for thought. It does sound like the 8320 and 8350 aren't coming out of the factory with the highest level of quality. I guess I'll have to root around a bit more. @Vic - Anand's review seems to have grabbed a perfect 125W model. It idles at 74W and is at load with...

FX-8320 overclocking (probably obvious)

Hi guys, It's about time I move on from my ageing Core 2 Quad, and my feeling is that when AMD react to Haswell, I'm probably going to hop on with their system and a FX-8320 or FX-8350. They're cheaper, for one thing, the socket will have more support so I'm not staring at another motherboard...
