No display after reboot unless I switch my RAM around
4 replies, posted
I'm having a pretty strange problem; after shutting down or putting my computer to sleep, there will not be any display after I wake the computer up. This is consistent across reboots until, oddly, I change the order of my RAM around. After that, the display works fine, however as you can imagine this is pretty annoying to do every single time I want to use my computer.
I currently have 3x 4GB 'Carry' RAM, however I've tried different combinations of the 3 sticks, including removing some, but to no avail.
When I say there is no display; I plug in the HDMI cable and my monitor turns itself on, shows "No HDMI input" then turns itself off again. I've tried the HDMI port on my GPU and motherboard.
Here is my specs;
OS - Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU - i5 4690 @ 3.50GHz
RAM - 4.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard - Gigabyte Z97X-SOC Force
Graphics - 2047MB GTX 770 (EVGA)
No idea if this is relevent but this is my storage;
1863GB Seagate ST2000DL001-9VT156
931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-08WN4A0
232GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO
This has been going on for a few days and I believe it happened after I blue-screened while playing Overwatch. After turning my computer back on at the time, it went into a weird rebooting cycle before BIOS.
Any help is appreciated
How long have you had the motherboard? It almost sounds like one of the components such as a capacitor might be going bad. Especially if it was failing to POST before finally getting to the bios

Thanks for replying!
I brought the motherboard on the 23rd of November 2014. So 2 years and 9 months ago or so. I have no idea why I brought and overclocking motherboard, since I don't do anything like that
It's a long shot, but you could try flashing a new BIOS version, your current one might've somehow gotten corrupted

Hey, that fixed it! I was running version 'F6' while the latest was 'F8'. After updating the BIOS everything seems to be working fine, thanks so much
