    GA-x79-UD7

    Trying to set up a GA-x79-UD7.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    First time I powered it up, got into BIOS no problem. Wentto PC Health Status to verify CPU was being cooled. 3.7GHz and 36C.<o:p></o:p>


    <o:p></o:p>
    Then nothing.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>

    <o:p></o:p>
    Reset CMOS, once with the button on the back and once with ajumper and removing the battery.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    Still nothing.<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>

    <o:p></o:p>
    <o:p></o:p>
    For now:<o:p></o:p>

      Re: GA-x79-UD7

      I have a couple OCZ SSD's in it right now for a RAID0.

      Hmm, wonder what's up with my signature not showing up...

          It's been 35 minutes now. Pulled the power, battery and left a jumper on CLR_CMOS as soon as I saw your first reply.

          Does this happen often? Why would it happen at all when I have not even started OC attempts yet.
          Makes me nervous to try anything too. Am I going to lose my computer for 24hrs while CMOS clears just because I tried to tighten up timings on my memory???

            Re: GA-x79-UD7

            Ok, it's been almost 2 hours.
            I pulled the jumper, put the battery back in, plugged in the power cord to the PSU, hit the red pwr button on the motherboard...
            nothing. Same flick with the lights and twitch from the fans.
            Pulled everything off the board except for CPU and cooling and power - 24 pin and 2 8 pin connectors.
            Still nothing.

            Pulled battery power and jumped CMOS and left it that way again.

              Re: GA-x79-UD7

              sometimes it corrupts the cmos badly needing longer to clear it,its best to leave overnight just to be 100% sure,if no luck then move on to the next thing,have you tried with just one stick of ram installed? read mb manual for correct slot for single channel,or try each slot one at atime with just one ram stick,anyway to test with another psu? and make sure the mb isnt shorting somewhere on the case,best to test this would be to set up on cardboard box or wooden table outside of the case,no need for any hdd/ssd as it will boot into bios without it

                Re: GA-x79-UD7

                Have stripped everything off the board. No RAM at all. Will try one to see what happens because you suggested it.
                No worry about shorting out on a TopDeck Station, no metal.

                do you think this post might apply here - http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte...tml#post388530 ?

                I'm still confused how changing a SATA controller to RAID would hurt the BIOS. Even if that's not what caused it... why in the world does it take so long to clear? 1 hour? Overnight? 24 hours? WTF?


                Any way to test with another PSU?
                I actually have one coming UPS for another system I'm building. Should be here in early next week and I'll test with it if this has not been resolved by then.

                  just want to add that you will need ram installed, doesnt matter how much and a graphics card as you wont boot up without them

                  it could be anythin with such a new platform,incompatibility with bios and or a certain component/hardware ect,cant see bios flash affecting things if it was fine before? the dual bios feature is much improved since sandybridge in recovering itself

                    I was just hoping to hear an error. If the board would tell me there was no memory installed it would at least be a sign of life...

                        No, it really was the very first time I turned it on. Like I said, cruised around in BIOS checking out what was new...no problem. Switched Intel SATA controller to RAID, Save and Exit, rebooted and ...dead.

                          I let it sit 5 or 6 hours and tried again.
                          With CPU, Cooler, memory installed it booted to the point where it errors no video card.
                          Reset and it rebooted.
                          Shut power off and installed video card.

                          Nothing. Lights flash and fans kick once, just like before.

                          Remove video card and still nothing. Lights flash and fans kick once.

                            would be good to test with another gpu if you can,could be faulty even if its new,it wont boot up if it is a faulty graphic card

                              Ok, I pulled the 460GTX out of this machine and put it on the GA-X79-UD7.
                              After sitting all night it fired right up! Cruised around in BIOS a bit again. Same story with the CPU - 3.7GHz and 36C - very happy with this water cooling. I made a couple small changes in BIOS (disabled Marvell controllers), hit Save and Exit ...

                              and it's dead again.

                              It's really starting to annoy me how it takes 5 hours to reset this board!
