Hi guys,
I have some random problem with my motherboard. First of all, let me tell you that I have searched in the forum about those issues and haven’t found a good answer. So I decided to create this thread.
My configuration is this:
• I7 5930k (no overclocked right now)
• Corsair H110i GTX
• Rampage v (with 3.1 card not plugged in)
• 1x gtx 980 strix
• Samsung pro 950 M.2
• Corsair HX1000 power supply
• G.Skill 16 gb ripjaws V
• WD blue 320 GB
• Cosmos 2
The issues are:
• The asmedia usb ports, sometime don’t work. I started noticing this with my keyboard. I used those ports with the keyboard (corsair k70). I thought that the problem was that this 2 ports are not made for using a keyboard on them, so I decided to switch the keyboard on other 2 ports. Then I decided to plug in a USB drive (my passport ultra 2 TB). Everything worked fine, until today, when my passport ultra was not recognized by windows 10. I tried to unplug and plug again, but didn’t work. I noticed by the way, that the ports are active because the hard disk started up.
I did some research in the manual but I am not using any other slots, so those 2 ports should be fine. Is it a known issue or are those 2 ports broken?
• The other problem happened 4-5 days ago. The motherboard wouldn’t post. Firs I got 61 on the code display. The I unplugged all the usb devices and got code 79. As I saw on the manual, those code are not errors. The motherboard couldn’t initialize the nvram or the csm. Then I found a post where a user said to unplug the display port of the graphic card. I have an hdmi cable, but I tried and the motherboard posted with no problems. Again I am asking: is it a known issue or is my motherboard broken?
• Last but not last, when I put my pc into sleep mode, it does, but after 3-4 seconds it wakes up. It doesn’t restart, it just wakes up like I pressed a keyboard button. I think that I should check some bios settings, but haven’t found which.
I have assembled this pc 2 weeks ago and at the moment, those are the main problems I had with this motherboard. Bios is 1801 (the last one). All power cables are plugged in (also the EZ plug). I cleared the cmos using the bios voice and just did some adjustment (VT enabled and other things).
The usb and the hdmi problems are not high priority problems because they come out randomly and with a reboot they disappear. The system work great. When I play or when I benchmark, the PC is stable and I get results aligned with my configuration.
I hope someone can help me.
Sorry for the long post and for my bad English 🙂
