    Asrock Z87M endless on/off-common problem?

    in Haswell (Z87/Z97) OC

    Posted

    Sorry, not really OC related. I hope I can ask though.

    I build a rig for a friend featuring famous Asrock Z87M OC Formula. No OC experiments with that as it came fresh from RMA.

    So everything should be ready to go for a stable rig featuring a high end, high quality motherboard.

    For one year everything was completely fine until my friend had the idea to remove the power plug...

    Bad idea.

    From now, pc got stuck in a on/off loop. However I can recover when I clear bios BUT everytime I remove the power, things happen to start again.

    You can read more about this here:

    I contacted technical service about this but of course, Asrock says now this is almost impossible, because of different chipsets...

    BUT I suspect some electric part which was commonly used among Z87 and Z97 models. Given the fact that my Z87m was late produced, so that Z97 and Z87 were very likely produced simultaneous, I guess the culprit was "shared" between those models.

    Asrock offers RMA which is a fine step from them, I still have the bad feeling that things happen again in a year.

    Maybe some knows more, or has similar experience. Any help would be appreciated.
