Hello, this system is a new build.
mobo - GA-EP45-UD3 (rev 1.0)
PSU = OCZ stealth 600W
SDRAM = OCZ 2x2048 1066 DDR2 (CAS 5,5,5,15 - 2.02V)
PCIe graphics
SATA HD
IDE DVD ROM drive
upon boot the system is ok, but with the first motherboard, almost immediately the screen color changes from normal white lettering to yellow lettering and there is no background blue field to the bios. Also in the system health section of the bios, all the infomation regarding the voltages and fan speeds and system temps are gone. There is a large blank spot there. Just empty space. There is a variation of the color of the lettering, sometimes it is purple, and this carries over to the main system colors in the operating system.
I RMA'd the first board and the replacement worked fine for about 30 minutes, then upon a reboot the exact same problem happened. There was initially a beautiful bios with many wonderful options, and then it was gone and the screen had yellow lettering, and the PC health status was gone.
The video card's have been tested and found troublefree, the monitor's troublefree. I have reflashed the bios, used different RAM ...
I am now questioning weather the powersupply is bad and ruining the board although I have respect for the OCZ components ( as well as the gigiabyte ).
Has anyone else had this problem, and are there any suggestions as to options besides switching to another board?
Thanks, Gazer
