X58A - UD3R Boot Up Issue 1066 instead of 1600Mhz RAM
« on: December 31, 2010, 08:04:18 am »
l did not know if l should post a new here or post in previous post under X58A - UD3R Boot Up Issue so l posted in both.

I just bought a new system I7 350 Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R 6GB Kingston1600 Ram 5870 ATI my problem is every so often when l turn my pc on, it sets my ram to 1066 when this happens my pc will not load it gets to the Windows 7 64bit animated start logo and freezes and causes BSOD, now this happens at no set time only from cold bootups, sometimes it turns itself off for few seconds then reboots and sometime just boots, so now l have to watch when Gigabyte logo at start and press tab to see the RAM Mhz when it sets itself to 1066 what l have to do is go into Bios and do not change anything but just save and exit and then it sets itself back to 1600Mhz when its at 1600 my system boots up perfectly and runs beautiful, I have updated motherboard and thought it fixed it did not cause a problem for a week or 2 but just today l went to start PC and it changed my RAM Mhz again back to 1066 so l had to go back into bios do the usual, not change anything and then save and it back to 1600, at first l thought it was motherboard that was broken and wanted to replace it, but now reading on net alot are having same problem, l am on a disability pension and took me a long time to save for a new pc, seems it is not a RAM problem as many who are having the same problem & have diff Branded RAMs.
Also noticed a problem with Noctua CPU Fan l have set it to 900 speed sometimes it will not power up just sits there rocking the fan l have to watch to make sure it turns on, then other times just spins up straight away and no l do not have power issues also pc in always connected to power, seems sometimes the motherboard just does not give enough power to the CPU fan.

Is there any HELP for my and everyones problem please thank u for ur time.

Well it would seem to me to be a power problem. You don't say what PSU you have installed but maybe it isn't powerfull enough for your system or is faulty.

Its already been tested buy the shop l bought it at and its not a power issue at all, if l put the fan at 1200speed fires up every-time and its a 650w Thermaltake EVO Blue but its not what my main problem is everyone else that has this bios problem all cannot be a power issue, but if u r talking about 2 times with no display or the fan then that's diff but like l said been tested, but my main issue is the Ram Bios changing all the time as does alot of ppl l hv been reading all over the net, think gigabyte needs to fix this issue.

It is pointless carrying on the same thread in two places! Please choose which one you would prefer to follow and stick to that one.

Thanks
