Well normally that indicates a graphics card error. Check that it is seated properly in  the slot and that the power cables are securely connected to it.

Also what PSU do you have running all your system?

Got a single beep with card attached.
Got a single beep when everything is put back in the case.
Tried rotating memory modules but no dice either

So POST is saying that everything checks out ok. I would say the chances are that the motherboard is faulty then. I should arrange an RMA with your retailer or Gigabyte Centre.

Thanks for all your help. Spoke to Scan (retailer), who thought it could be a fault somewhere with the Sata controllers. So what they are going to is test it and swap it over.

Thanks again

Hi again,

Just wanted to provide you with an update. Scan have tested and confirmed the board to be faulty, stating a possible Sata fault. Would not have been able to have diagnosed this without your assistance. Good to know that there is excellent support here on these forums.

Learned a lot in terms if troubleshooting, which will be of great benefit for the future.

Thanks again

Well I am glad that it has all worked out well for you and that I was able to help. As you say it is all good experience and maybe there will be something that you can help someone else with when they have a problem. ;)

Got the new board and I am STILL having the same issues. I really don't know what to do now.

OK. Well that's not so bad as it seems. At least now we have a good starting point and know the motherboard is good. We shall have to decide where  to go from here for the next step.

Is the board insatalled in the case now or is it outside still?

Well, when I sent back the motherboard, I took the opportunity to get a HAF X case. So currently, the system is running in that case.

Nice choice of case. I have the HAF 932 and am well happy with it (even though I butchered it a bit at first as it didn't quite suit what I wanted).

OK so you have it installed in the HAF X. What else is in there too?

And presumably an optical drive. Are you sure there is absolutely nothing else ?

How many fans do you have running ?

Yeah, I have an sata optical drive. Nothing else connected aside from that.

However,

I seem to have eradicated the issue, playing around with the Bios. I just want to go through with you on what I did. Firstly, I set the CPU fan control to disabled, which corsair recommend. The temperate was around 47c before I did this, so can't imagine this rectified it.

I then changed the following -

eSata ctrl mode - AHCI
Gsata ctrl mode - AHCI

I was already running Raid 0 with XHD enabled When I changed all these settings, it automatically installed a load of drivers and now I cannot replicate the original issue.
