GA-X58A-UD3R electrical noises [solved]

[Dark Mantis]

sorri to hear about your health problem

how old are u?
Also did u notice any symptoms before stroke?
also how to prevent it?

so are u impaired in anyway? and anyone looking after you?

I don't how you can live with those crickets..
it is worse than the motherboard noise. i don't see why u are complaining about board noise when u got that going on...

No problem, life is what you make out of it. I am 57 now and it was rather a funny story about when I had my stroke. We had moved to Bulgaria and I had built this beautiful extremely large villa. Well I got up one morning and went downstairs (three flights)to my computer room,  switched everything on and settled in front of the monitors. Everything was fine and thenI noticed that I couldn't move the mouse. Now I had a young son and daughter and my first reaction was that one of them had glued the bloody thing down as a joke and I  thought this was funny. Anyway with that my wife called me upstairs for breakfast in the garden and when I got there I sat down and tried to pick up my cup of coffee without much success and things went downhill from there. The side of my face dropped etc. I was taken to hospital(another story over there!) and catscanned etc and was diagnosed with a haemotoma(bleeding) into the brain. They never did find what caused it, my blood pressure was perfect, no high colesterol in fact no apparent reason at all. I made a fairly good recovery but have a few lingering problems such as co-ordination and short term memory loss. All in all I wouldn't say I was frightened by it as I found it all a bit funny in a stupid sort of way. The main problem was afterwards I was very depressed and haven't been able to shake that off which is more debilitating than some of the other aftereffects. Anyway enough of that.
The cricket noise is just something you get used to and don't hardly notice after a while, a bit like living near train tracks or the road. Besides if I close my eyes I can imagine living in the jungle.

so u can get used to the crickets but not the motherboard noise?

The motherboard noise would be more quieter...

Btw were you active alot before stroke?
and do you smoke?

=

Lifestyle factors that increase your risk of stroke include high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, high blood cholesterol levels, heavy drinking, a diet high in salt and fat and lack of exercise. You can reduce your risk of having a stroke by making a few simple lifestyle changes.

Causes of stroke
‘Stroke’ is a term used to describe the interruption of blood flow to an area of the brain. This can occur in the following ways:

    * Haemorrhagic stroke – an artery may rupture and cause bleeding into the brain tissue.
    * Ischaemic stroke caused by atherosclerosis – an artery may become blocked by progressive thickening of its walls.
    * Ischaemic stroke caused by embolism – a clot blocks an artery and prevents blood getting to part of the brain.

I must admit that even the motherboard noise doesn't bother me as much now as when I first had it(but dont tell Gigabyte!) The thing is during the day when the crickets are quieter I notice it more and it doesn't alter the fact that when you pay over £260 for a motherboard you don't expect it to play up at all.

Yes I wasn't ever one of these nutters in lycra running around all over the place(horrible pictures pass through my mind) but I used to walk miles and do a fair bit of manual labour with the building etc.

if you don't want them to know then better re edit your post.

Do u have an idea what cause it?

btw how quick do u forget stuff?I think most of us as we get older also get short term memory problems..

i notice i am getting it as well a bit.

Well... the noise disturbs my concentration and adds more stress and frustration on me. Gigabyte should not only refund the cost of the board, but also the time we spend to test the board for them as well as those stress which may eventually cause some illness in future if it's not well controlled.

Sounds good to me , onemilimeter, but I wouldn't hold my breath whist waiting. The trouble is it is an unquantifiable risk and nobody is going to do anything about that. The same as a refund I just can't see it happening, unless you want to take out a civil action in the courts, and that costs money too. Although if Gigabyte wanted to be really generous  and earn lots of "Brownie Points" they could replace our boards with the UD9 version That would be good for customer relations.

Whilst I don't mind discussing my problems on the forum at all but I think that it is getting a bit off topic so to speak. So if you want to email me with any questions etc please feel free. I know that this was the opposite to what I told you last time but I hope that you understand the difference.

As I always mention if Gigabyte thinks the noise problem happens to certain board only, I will welcome them to send me another board which Gigabyte is confident it has no noise problem. Yes... If Gigabyte can't provide a solution to the problem (after several beta BIOS releases), I think Gigabyte should offer to replace our board with UD9.

Hi
Can someone else try this out? and see if they get same constant noise like me. Use F5 BIOS and  go to this page http://se.msn.com/  The page is Swedish sorry but you don't have to read too much though. Scroll little bit down till you see Text "Senaste nytt" that is moving, its like 1 cm scroll down or so. I get constant noise because of this. Do you guys experience same thing? I can try to make it even easier to find "Senaste nytt" its a under a bigger video. please try it out and let me know.

P.S: F6j only fixed that issue for me, maybe some small improvement but not much though.

[Dark Mantis]

No it behaves perfectly normally on my system. However I am using the UD7 version of the motherboard but there is no extraneous noises and no unusal movement.

(...) F6j only fixed that issue for me, maybe some small improvement but not much though.

Have you tried with FVB bios?

No  have not. I will try it out and see though.

I am using Mozilla. No noise with IE8. However i like Mozilla better . But am not finish yet, i get noises on same page with IE8, when i move my mouse curse over the page. FBV BIOS was no success on my system no improvements what i can tell on this fast check.

Which OS that you're using? Windows 7?
Which PSU that you're using?
Did you apply the same setting as shown in this post?

May be Gigabyte should compare their BIOS with that of ASUS...
