Hi guys
Bit of a long shot but just canvassing some opinions on an issue I am having with the above board as part of my recent build. I have contacted Asrock Rack, but have not heard back yet
System is:-
Asrock Rack C226ws Motherboard
Xeon E3 1280V3
Coolermaster Hyper 612 cooler
32gb ECC uDIMMs 4x8gb - mix of kingston 1333 and 1600 - running at 1333
Gigabyte R7 250x 2gb GDDR5 Graphics Card
HP P822 Raid controller - 2gb fbwc
12x Hitachi 2tb Ultrastar 7k3000
2x Sandisk Extreme Pro 256gb in Raid O via motherboard
Corsair cx600 PSU
Fractal Designs Define R2 XL Case
Optical Drive
Lots of 140mm fans
windows 8.1 64bit
Essentially The system will not warm boot. The dr Debug internal LED display stops on 9A and then the system restarts, the same happens continuously. If i turn the PSU / Mains off wait for the system to de-energise, the system will generally then boot and run normally and in a stable fashion, although some cold boots the asrockrack logo appears the screen goes blank and then after a short while windows blue screen appears. I then have to switch mains off and on again and then it generally will boot.
The dr debug code indicates that the last boot event is to do with USB initialisation. after this it reboots and continues with the reboot cycle. At no point in this process does it POST or show anything on monitor.
I have tried extensive troubleshooting - including
Unplug all USB - including headers front panel etc - No improvement
Unplug HP P822 Raid card - Same issue
Reduce Ram to 1x stick in A1 - Same issue with multiple sticks tried
Moved Graphics Card to new PCIE slot - Same issue
Changed bios settings - multiple different setting including disable of INtel USB3 - Same issue.
Reflashed Bios 2.30 - Same issue.
Has anyone encountered this kind of issue previously? I initially thought a USB device wasn't playing nicely with the Intel USB3, as it seems not to be a good device with windows 8.1, but when everything is unplugged and it still does it.. I guess I can discount that.
Once the machine has booted it is stable - with the exception of some weird slow down issues with the HP P822 according to benchmarks but not actual usage..
Thanks
Steve
