I'm helping setup a brand new BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Z87X 3D. I suggested the board since it was on clearance at the Egg, so I feel some responsibility about solving this.
updated bios, defaults loaded.
CPU is supported, i5-4690k.
Tried two different power supplies, one is a brand new 750 Watt Corsair that is Haswell ready.
Tried different ram, in different slots. Now just have one stick of cheapo 2GB in slot one. tried 2 X 8gb ram sticks as well
No video card yet.
just one drive, a SSD, also tried old mechanical drive
Windows is installed, and it will shut down and turn off nice and fast. It starts up fast from a cold boot. Does not hang in the bios
problem..
Windows Restart is a problem, windows shutdowns correctly, screen goes blank for about a 1.5 minutes while board is still on, then the board cycles on, screen is blank, then windows loads again as it should. Tried analog and digital outputs. 1.5 minutes for this to go from hitting restart in windows to windows loading again.
But, It does the same thing while in the bios. You can be in the bios and exit the bios and the same thing, screen goes blank, the board is still on, then 1.5 minutes later it cycles and boots where you want it too.
