Hi,
First of all, I can't send it to RMA since I bought this MB in june 2012... wow it's been a while.
I was not using the computer, my wife was and she basically let the computer always on during 2 years (which in that case worked all right)
So I have two problems with this computer (that are probably linked) :
1) I can't completely shutdown the computer. The cpu fan, usb port, power from HD and DVD, everything stay on. The only way to shutdown completely is to use the PSU switch at the back.
2) Both backup bios and main bios are ok BUT sometimes at boot I end up in a UEFI boot loop with this screen.
Those 2 problems happen with different version of bios (I was using F14, now F16), my settings or the default optimized ones. I already cleared CMOS, removed the battery...
I also try to unplug everything... keeping only CPU, 1 ram, no sata, no usb connected, using the power button on the MB directly... same result.
Unfortunately I don't have the hardware to test a new PSU or my current PSU (HX650) with a new MB...
What should I try next ? Is there a way to identify if it's the MB or the PSU without using any other hardware ?
The PSU is probably not the cause of the boot loop...
Any thoughts ?
Thanks a lot
