What is BIOS setting for SOC voltage?..that is an important voltage...

You could try running 1.4 for dram voltage...perfectly safe...

Clear cmos maybe a button or a jumper on the board...you'd have to dig out the manual

Maybe post up the memory and spd tabs of CPUz

Hi mate, so... I did what you said, turned off, waited a while, hanged again. Red light of doom. I took some pictures of the computer in doom mode and when it actually finally came back alive again after constantly turning off and on, oh also I did the pin thing with the screwdriver and it actually made no difference, still hanged etc, when it did come back on, bios was all reset. I will send what I can, if you need any more info please do let me know. I appreciate everyone looking and you taking the time out to help me. Thank you.

Try and set VDDCR SOC voltage to 1.1 or 1.15 or even 1.2v

Roger that.

Will set it, I am sure it will boot like it does when I do changes, the only time I will know is when I shut down tonight and try and power back on in the morning. I will keep you posted.

Much appreciated.

So... I just went into bios to make the changes and its set to auto but it reading already 1.15 :<?

I set it to Manual and did 1.2 and quit saved changes etc.

I will shut down this evening and see if it comes alive tomorrow morning.

Will report back then.

OK...see how you go...

I just noticed...something is enabling SVM....leave that disabled if you're not using it...

Maybe avoid DOCP profile....set ram frequency manually as well as primary timings

Maybe disable fastboot in BIOS...

Check what BIOS/DOCP is setting for soc voltage...maybe set that to 1.1v or 1.2v

I was going to state that it could been possible that he needed to make sure to enable XMP and set the appropriate settings in his Bios. This is what I had discovered when I had that same issue.

Hi mate,

So I turned PC on for first time this morning and behold, it turned on perfectly no problems whatsoever...

I will monitor it for a few days to see if this clears up as it was happening everyday for the last 2 weeks. First time on first time for a while so happy with that, lets hope it continues! I use Virtualisation in Windows so thats why SVM is enabled.

I'll take it as a win for now but like I said will monitor it for a few days, see what happens tomorrow! :D Thanks again

Hi mate,

These Asus strix boards do not use XMP its basically the same thing but called DOCP and I enabled all the correct settings there, only thing I did not do with the SOC voltage setting that I was now told to change, I have and it seems to be stable... We shall see during the week and see what happens! Thanks though

Good you are aware of what is going on. DOCP (Direct Over Clock Profile) used for AMD boards where XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) is used for Intel (such as mine which is an Asus strix) but is used for the same concept.
