Gigabyte GA EX58-UD5 , question about RAM Memory

[Dark Mantis]

If you have been playing around with EasyTune 6 then this is probably where the discrepancy has crept in. You could reset it back to the default setting.
Please don't take this the wrong way but do you understand what is meant by a BIOS update?

[white_dove]

Yes, i do understand what is the BIOS UPDATE.
I updated the BIOS about 1 year ago.

[Dark Mantis]

So what BIOS version are you running now?  Have you checked to see if there is an update for your board?

[white_dove]

I reset it back to default settings, the BIOS.
Now, at startup, it shows 1066 MHz.
My BIOS version ( i said that again ) is F9e
Here are the latest BIOS versions for my mobo.

So .... you think is gonna help ? Or, you recommend it to leave it everything like it is now ?

[Dark Mantis]

The BIOS you are running at the moment is a Beta vesion not even the fully tested one. No doubt it is fine but even so there have been several updates since then and two of them have added memory compatibilty, so I think you should update to F12.

I tried to update the BIOS, but "NO DRIVE FOUND "
The BIOS i downloaded and unzipped, is on my USB memory stick. I tried to change in BIOS, from "first boot device " i HDD / CD / USB FDD, USB HDD, all of them, but i still receive the message " NO DRIVE FOUND "
The USB stick is in FAT 32 format.
Do i have to change maybe, IDE - SATA, in BIOS ?

[Dark Mantis]

You need to go into the BIOS and make sure that the "Legacy USB Storage" is enabled. Then make sure that the files arer unzipped onto the USB drive and inserted before booting. The USB pen will probably show up like a hard drive so don't be put off by that.

[white_dove]

Yes, i think that Legacy USB Storage is Disabled.
I try again, now. Thanks.
LE : it was enabled.
Any ideas ?

[Dark Mantis]

Sorry didn't understand the LE? But i take it that it was already done. Check your pen drive and see how many files show up. There should be three in total. It might help you to read our FAQ page on the different ways to do it. See here: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,2441.0.html

[white_dove]

Yes, there are 3 files.
Look here,please :  http://img205.imageshack.us/i/usbfiles.jpg/
After i closed USB ( the USB stick is still in the USB slot, i didn't remove it yet ) there is only 2 files.
Autoexec is missing.
Very strange. I tried that 3-4 times. Same story.
And now i tried again to put those 3 files on my harddrive, somewhere...
After i close the partition where the files are, and reopen it, the same file is "missing"
Is very strange, actually, cause the file is there  I wanted to copy only the missing files there, and than the message " copy / copy and replace / keep original "  .. you know what i mean.
But i can't see the file in there.

[Dark Mantis]

Don't worry Autoexec.bat is as sytem file and as such wont show up normally. It is still on there.

[white_dove]

Ok, but why can't i acces my USB stick, then ?
Should i try from the HDD ? The second HDD in my PC in nearly empty.I could cut everything from hdd 2 to hdd 1.
What do you think ?

[Dark Mantis]

Although it is possible to recover a BIOS image file from the hard drive it is not an accepted way of doing an update. I will try and have a word with my colleague absic about this first as this is the third time we have had this happen recently and I would like his opinion on it first. So bare with me and I will post again afterwards.

[white_dove]

Ok, thanks a lot.

Dark Mantis ,  i have some good news 
I went again in BIOS. Remember ? I reset everything to default,about 2 hours ago, and on startup wasn't 1120 MHz. It was 1066 MHz.

Remember when i said :I can change to : 6.0 / 8.0 / 10.0 / 12.0 and so on. I tried to 6.0 first. Frequency was lower.About 800 Mhz, i'm not sure. So i tried to 8.0 and 10.0
If i set to 10.0 , is NOT 1333 Mhz. It's 1400 Mhz.
So, Dark, now i put again to 10.0  and it shows 1333 MHz.
Should i leave it like that ?
