Old P8p67pro issue, no restart on windows fresh install.

Gunni Parker · 24 Sep 2020 at 11:44

I have gave my son my old I5 system.

2500k, 16gb ddr3 ram at 1600mhz, p8p67 pro.

Bought a new SSD, Corsair 650 bronze PSU and Antec DF500 rgb case.

I can't complete a windows 10 install on it via USB as it won't restart. Then it powers briefly on, then off. From this, no matter what I do I can't get back on until I remove the battery.

If I save any changes in the bios with the view of save and reset, it shuts down and stays off until I remove the battery. Everything is plugged in, I've taken ram out and swapped it around, even left it out... Same issue.

I have reset the cmos.

My computer simply won't restart after a shutdown. Any ideas please?

what version of the bios is on it and is it a B3 revision board?

Howdy, it's the latest and no it's the original, not B3.

Make sure there are no other usb devices connected when installing win 10.

How old is that battery?

ETA: are you installing via a USB 2 port or a USB 3 port? If the latter, try the former.

I'd suggest disconnecting all the front panel stuff (check you haven't plugged the front USB into the firewire as well) and power it up using a screwdriver or something across the 2 power pins on the MB panel for the front panel. Install using one of the on board USB.

Possibly worth trying another SATA port as well as it's not a B3 board.

Sorry the latest bios, the original Mobo.

The battery will be as old as the mobo. So 9 years I think.

Bios version is 3602? What SSD is it? Got any old SSD/HDD you can try with to rule that out?

Wow. That's very old. They normally last about 5 years. So try replacing it.

Surely I wouldn't have to remove the USB during installation?

Any other usb devices not needed for installation.
