Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a Crosshair V, FX-8150 and 16GB of Corsair Ballistix Tactical Tracer (1600MHz) to replace my Crosshair, Phenom X4 9850.
PC will POST and load the OS OK, however I have an intermittent issue when I reboot, shutdown or the PC enters standby, the board stays lit and the fans continue to spin although the screen is blank (as if it were shutdown).
If I press and hold the case power button the PC powers down, if I try to power back up the board lights up and the fans spin, hard drives and optical drives power up too - but the PC does not boot and the CPU_LED light is red. The only way to clear this is to turn the power supply off and let the board power down, once all the lights are off power it back up and the PC will boot.
PC is fine whilst booted and in the OS, haven't experienced any other issues. I installed MS KB2645594 today and at the reboot the PC didn't come back up and took that opportunity to check the CPU_LED light, sure enough it was red.
I have flashed to the most recent BIOS but that doesn't seem to have fixed the issue.
The issue is intermittent because I can reboot, shutdown or enter standby and it be fine; but will generally occur when I'm not testing (the typical intermittent fault).
If anyone has any thoughts would be good to hear.
