Every now and then my system hangs when attempting a restart, where the motherboard continually makes clicking sounds until I manually hard power off the system and then power it back on. I also want to know if this is a known issue with other X99 Classified boards or if its isolated to mines only and possibly because of my 128GB memory kit.

Seems like an issue with release/allocation of resources during/after reset. Very possibly memory gets stuck. Out of curiosity does LED display start cycling codes from the beginning or just hangs and do nothing?
 
I can say a word or two about multiple drives when reset (better to shutdown and power up than just reset). X99 seems to take sweet time detecting reset command, disconnecting drives and then starting initialization. One of the reasons why I try to get rid (sloooowly) of most (all?) HDDs. Unfortunately it's quite prohibitive process. :P

LED cycles through codes continually while making clicking sounds after each one.

What is the FULL Model Number and or Part Number for your Corsair Dominator Platinum 128GB Memory Kit Memory?
How are you setting the Memory in the Bios?
Does it error with only 6GB or with 64GB installed?

I have an issue where the x99 classified I have locks up sporadically and resets, but no cycle require to get it going again. It just reboots itself. I have tried it with 2 separate 5960x's so far, and anytime there is even a old overclock applied, the system will crash and restart without warning or showing a bsod code.

When it restarts, it will require a cmos reset to get back into Windows, or it just picks a random post code and stops there. Not sure which part is giving the issues as it could be the cpu, but to have two of them do it is strange.


Oh yeah! A HUGE bug.. I enabled XMP on my 5960x last night.. It set the clocks to 60ghz (not 6.0... 60). I have had this ram all along and never had an issue (will get model number when I get home).

Not sure what that was all about, but it set the bclk to something like 698.. I checked everything and it was set to 100, but wouldn't allow me to lower it at all.

LED cycles through codes continually while making clicking sounds after each one.

Ah! I know this problem. During one of my sessions testing initialization of my RAID AIC I run into same issue of permanently cycling codes and clicking sounds. Problem was solved with power down, disconnecting power cord and clearing CMOS.
 
At that time I was using motherboard buttons not case ones. In my irritation pressed either to hard or for too long and it started that whole circus. For a moment I was petrified that board was broken. Some stupid thing goes wonky, hope it will clear up for you as it did for me (and my memory is running in XMP mode too, although without OC and only 32GB)
 
Word of advice. Use that Turbo DIP switch. Set to position ON. Put everything in "emergency mode" and see what happens.

What exactly does the Turbo Switch do? I can't find any info on it in the manual. I was under the assumption that it was a "dummy" overclock feature that got built into the board instead of doing it through the BIOS.

Also, it doesn't happen every time I restart my system. So, I wouldn't be able to confirm immediately if it works or not. I've already turned it on and now after logging into Windows, my removable drives from my front bay card reader loads up instantly, whereas before it took a while for all 5 of them to be recognized. And my assumption was wrong about the Turbo Switch as it didn't change any clocks on my CPU and memory.

That does not sound good. 
 
Had any time to reexamine your BIOS settings?
 
Are you running the latest BIOS?
 
Are you powering system with a UPS, to provide the cleanest and continuous power?
 
Very curious as to what you learn about these issues.

That's not normal, especially when seeing the reaction from the LED debugger.  The sound could be a mechanical HD starting up repeatedly.  Not sure if the system is rebooting constantly.  I would RMA the MB if all other options have been exhausted.

I have had that sound one time after updating to the current bios.  Cleared CMOS while working a USB issue and have not heard it since.
