Yikes: Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming Dying..?? [Solved]

Rickkins · Oct 11, 2018

Windows took damn near 10 minutes to boot. Speccy can't read motherboard.

Just getting into bios took 5 minutes.

Thoughts..??

Thanks.

Edit" Turns out it was my 4TB external Seagate Hard drive.

Have you tried clearing the CMOS? Have you tried a windows reinstallation and a virus scan? And does hwmonitor detect the motherboard fine?

DeathtoGnomes · Oct 11, 2018

configured wrong.

Looks like the bios/windows is a known problem on the x370/470 chipset, have you tried the things I've asked and have you ran a bios update or did It just started to happen without *any* updates?
Here are some websites with others who have this problem - there may be more methods to try there:

Hwmonitor , won't load. Virus scan hangs halfway thru.
Upgraded to latest windows last week, everything went smooth and easy, no issues whatsoever, until this morning...

This doesn't feel like a windows problem. This feels like the motherboard. Took several minutes just to get the spinning dots, which then spun for minutes...

Well it could be also problem with your memory or SSD/HDD?

At all?

This sounds like you've been infected to me.

So prior to this upgrade, everything went well? If that answer is "yes" - revert.

It could be, he needs to run a memtest - (built into 10) and perhaps a hard drive health test as well, it's more unlikely though.

Radical_Edward · Oct 11, 2018

A dying HDD or SSD could cause these symptoms. If you can boot into the OS I'd try CrystalDiskInfo and see what it says.

Rickkins · Oct 11, 2018

Crystal says 100% good for my ssd.

Then please answer the questions I've asked since that's now eliminated.

Rickkins · Oct 11, 2018

I have gone into bios and and loaded optimized defaults.
Ran memtest, zero issues.
Gonna run an online virus scan now.

Sasqui · Oct 11, 2018

Some hardware issue, my guess, if it's taking that long even to get into the BIOS. PC is waiting for something to initialize and eventually it times out. Turn off some peripherals one by one, perhaps?

Looking at the amount of storage devices you have, I'd start by unplugging all but the SSD boot disk.

probs not related to your issue but I had issue yesterday with my little old PC things stopped working like virus scanner, firewall, PC slowing down, I went to windows to re-download the new updated (fixed) version of windows to usb stick, reinstalled window 10 and it's been put back to 1803 LOL
but my PC is working fine again so im staying with 1803 lol Just in case it was the update version, because after the update for the updated version yesterday things went funny, which were working fine a couple of days ago.

going into UEFI bios almost felt lagy like it was hanging before trying to enter bios in legacy it mode was quicker to get in bios and I also had the little circle things spinning for ages

all your issues sound very similar to what my system was having yesterday .. even though they completely different builds

Well, dip me in shit and roll me in sugar.... I just found the issue.

My external hd seems to have crapped out. Unplugged it, rebooted in seconds....

Doy...

Thanks guys...

Sounds like the controller went bad I had that happen to an i d e CD burner, when I discovered it being the faulty part was when I started disconnecting drives.

To me slow to post issues are primarily the drives whether they are Parallel ATA/IDE or Serial ATA, and then also memory.

Rickkins · Oct 11, 2018

Even "Seatools" won't find the damn thing. Guess it's well and truly forked....

External USB? I had an Antec external USB enclosure go bad before, turned out the drive was fine. If it's all-in-one, it probably won't work outside of the enclosure... but worth a try.

Good to hear you got it sorted out.

Would be a good idea to edit the OP with the solution and edit the title with (solved) added in.

If you can't edit then report the OP and request it be reopened. A section of super mod can reopen it for you

Yea, I think I'll give that a whirl....

Rickkins · Oct 13, 2018

So, I've opened up my external drive, and plugged it into the computer. Computer sees it, but cannot access it.

Seatools: Basic test fails. Short generic read fails, so does long. SMART check passes. Fix all fast seems to hang at 12%

At this point, I'm assuming it's a paperweight.

Anybody got some magic, or is this sucker toast.

Thanks.

Edit: Ok scratch that. "Fix all nfast" finally moved off 12%, right to fail.
Oh well.
