I posted this over in the ASRock X99 thread in the SFF forum, but I'll probably get more views here, and it may not be specific to the motherboard.
Last week, my power flickered. Not enough to reset any of my clocks, but enough that when I returned to my computer it was acting strangely with all fans spinning at 100%. A power cycle was all it took to get back to normal.
This morning while I was at work, the power flickered again. It must have been a split second outage again, because none of the clocks reset, but it was enough that my NAS was shut down. My computer on the other hand, had all fans spinning at 100% and was getting pretty warm to the touch. This time a power cycle didn't get things back up and running. The computer would power on, but I had no picture on the monitor. I shut it down and let it sit for 20 minutes, then was able to power it on successfully.
I think what happened is the graphics card overheated, and probably needed time to cool down. The problem is I'm not sure why. What could cause the computer to run at max load for an extended amount of time after a brief power outage?
System specs:
Windows 10
ASRock X99E-ITX/ac
Core i7 5820K
Noctua C14
Corsair LPX DDR4 8GB x 2
Silverstone SX500-LG PSU
ASUS GTX 960 Mini
Samsung 850 EVO
edit - system exhibits this behavior any time power is disconnected
