Sorry to use you guys as tech support but I can't figure this out for the life of me. No amount of google seems to help either.
I had to completely disassemble my pc and put it back together because I screwed up a critical BIOS setting and it wouldn't even POST. Now after 2 days of work I've managed to put it back together and working, recover my files and make a dual Ubuntu/Win10 installation.
The things is as long as the PC is on, it runs like a nigger, I can do anything as long as I don't turn it off, just suspend or restart to change to the other OS and it hasn't crashed a single time.
However, when it cold boots, it seems to roll a dice and has about a 50% chance not even POSTing. Sometimes it displays an error about a failed boot and tells me that my ram is running at 1333 Mhz. My ram is designed for 1600 Mhz so I figured this underclocking is causing the issue, but for the life of me I can't get the BIOS to just use the fucking 1600 Mhz. I've tried manually setting the base frequency and multiplier and enabling xmp, neither worked.
Any ideas? The board is a gygabyte one. The ram sticks are kingston ddr3 8gb @ 1600 mhz blue ones. The bios only displays "UEFI dualbios".
Also, let's turn this into a QTDDTOT.
Looks like you're fucked m8 should've installed Gentoo
try BIOS reset (default settings)
then try switching RAM around in those four (two?) banks
then try BIOS update, if available
if nothing helps, maybe RAM or motherboard are faulty
