Hi...I've been in and out of this forum over the past week or so trying to work out how to fix issues with the x58A-UD3R Rev 2 FB...
My rig:
i7 930 2.8g
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R Rev2.0
HIS ATI pcie HD5670
Seagate 3.5 Sata2 1TB x2
ADATA 2g DDR3 1600 3x2g
Zalman CNPS10X Quiet CPU Cooler
Cooler Master Silent Pro M700 PSU
Windows 7 Home Premium 64b
What happened:
1. Install W7 64bit...no problem
2. Tweak stuff in services/ startup...the usual things
3. No overclocking...I don't want to OC it
4. Noticed that 2 of my 3 RAM sticks were not being recognised
5. Online solution seemed to be to update bios
6. Did that...updated to FB bios...all RAM recognised fine but...
7. Started experiencing cold boot failures
8. First time cold boot failure. I turn off, unplug HD cables, plug back in, turn on and it's ok. And it's been doing this for the last 2 days on a cold boot.
This is where I am now. I'm of course super keen on solving these issues and believe that I can and will be able to without taking it back to the shop.
My next plan is to flash bios with FC1....as I have read it has been successful for some with my cold boot failure. I really hope it works. I'll be doing it tonight. Also....CPU pins....I have checked them once....I didn't see any bent ones....but I am prepared to look again and to take photos if need be.
I'll be happy to provide any information that is required to fix my particular problem for my machine.
Also....1 more thing. I am willing to buy a replacement mobo...(if nothing works) (though I think a solution will be reached)....so can anyone suggest a mobo that would be appropriate and would marry up with the rest of my hardware?
thanks very much
