Cold boot failures x58A-ud3r Rev2 bios FB

[Dark Mantis]

Hi FunkyErn
If you contact Hello People they have FC2 and you can get it off them http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=5480
I still can't help feeling that it is something to do with the PSU. Try not turning the mains power off at night and see if it does indeed make any difference. There would only be residual power there but it may make a difference. Try not to change more than one thing at a time though otherwise you are introducing more variables into the equation.

[hello people]

What's your email funky? pm me

Hey...my PC crashes when I try to launch or uninstall Easy 6....I remember that it could have become corrupted during my 9 days of troubleshooting....a few days ago I remember trying to launch it and it crashing my computer.

Any known issues with Easy 6?

If I want to uninstall it, should I do it in safe mode or something?

thanks

[Dark Mantis]

If you take my advice you will uninstall it and leave it that way No, I do understand some people like these free toy programs but to my way of thinking there are always better alternative ways of doing the same thing. Often as you have found out they come at a price.

[hello people]

Yeah I don't want it at all. What's the best way to uninstall?

In statr menu I tried to click uninstall and the PC crashed hard and fast.

I'll try from control panel

....safe mode?

[Dark Mantis]

I would think(as I have never installed it ) that just the add/remove programs should do it in Control Panel.

[hello people]

Nope...and doesn't uninstall in safe mode either...I get these errors:

Open device failure!
Open driver handle failure!
Memory map failed!

Do you know anything about this?

Instant crash in normal boot...in safe mode the PC just hangs and I have to end task


ps....I mean Smart 6....not Easy 6

Should I maybe try to re-install it/ or repair install it...and then uninstall?

[Dark Mantis]

Maybe try something like Revo Uninstaller Pro. I use this program and it is extremely good. cleans every last bit of a program if you set it properly.
Just google for the download

[hello people]

I just tried that...didn't work...PC crashed hard.

But...I didn't fiddle with any settings in Revo...have any settings in mind I could try??

[Dark Mantis]

Not particularly just run the thorough scan to find everything. If that didn't work I think you are on dodgy ground as it looks like registry editing is going to be the only way to get rid of it. Trouble is that is always fraught with danger. If you are up to it you could try finding all the entries in the registry 
First I would do a search of the forum as I seem to remember someone else having this problem I just can't remember how it was resolved.

[hello people]

I searched google and this site came up...the guy fixed it with Revo...lol...

I'll search this forum...EDIT: Nothing much of interest came up in a forum search...

If I look around in registry....does deleting all the entries....uninstall it? Is it the equivalent?

I'm even more of a noob in registry than I am in bios!

[Dark Mantis]

In that case I wouldn't recommend it as there is no second chance if you delete the wrong thing.
Maybe if you re-install the program and then uninstall it with Revo?

[hello people]

When I put the disc in and tried to reinstall/ repair...instant crash.

I went into safe mode and used Revo...seems to have nuked it and that Green program thing from Gigabyte too.

Anyone know what these progs are (both Gigabyte entries in my install/ uninstall control panel list):

On_OFF Charge B10.0422.2
DES 2.0

What are they?

Are they needed?

EDIT: Ok I know what they are...and they don't seem too important


Hey...people pm'ing me for the FC2 bios.....it is at media fire...there should be a link on this forum somewhere...you can ask Lsdmeasap

[Dark Mantis]

On_OFF Charge B10.0422.2
DES 2.0

DES is Dynamic Energy Saver and does what it says on the tin.
On/Off charge is for charging iPads, Iphones etc even when the computer is turned off. It also increases the rate of charge.

[hello people]

Yeah I just got rid of them...although ONOFF could be useful I suppose
