GA-P67A-UD3 Rev 1.0
BIOS revision F4
Intel i5 2500K
2 x CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Nvida 8800 GT also Nvidia 7300
I have yet to get a BIOS updated or OS installed on this build, if I try to load in a OS, windows or Ubuntu, the computer reboots immediately, not even attempting to read OS cd. When I try to upgrade the BIOS through Q-flash it reads the USB stick ok, I select revision F5 and about half way through the reading of the new file the computer reboots. If I boot off the USB stick the flash program loads up and freezes at "reading BIOS file..."
I have already RMA'd one MB, which was slightly better in that after 3 days I got an OS to install, previous attempts were simular to my current problem of rebooting on OS install.
I have;
changed power supply with 2 other PS modules - no change.
used 1 RAM module - no change
used a different brand of RAM, G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 , using 1 and 2 modules - no change
swapped video cards from Geforce 8800GT to 7300 GS, tried both pci-e slots
Cleared CMOS a dozen times and tried both optimized and fail safe settings,
tried to boot without video - no beep then again it never beeps on start up ( no speaker hooked up as its on the bench and not in the case)
moved the SATA to different ports
Nothing at this point seems to make any difference. No matter what OS I try to install the computer reboots. Even the memtest on a Ubuntu live CD won't load.
Unless someone has any suggestions on what to try next I think I'm stuck where I'm at till the new boards come out in April.
