Hi all,
I have the following system:
CPU: i7 950 (Bloodfield D0)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE X58A-UD3R (Rev 2.0)
Ram: Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Triple Channel Kiit
Hard Drives: Crucial C300 64gb & Seagate Hybrid 500gb
Graphics Card: 2x PowerColour 6870 for CrossFire
PSU: Corsair TX950w
HS/Fan: Noctua NH-D14
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64
Problem:I am having cold boot issues which I have seen a couple of posts here about, I basically boot from after leaving the pc off for the night and it would boot into Windows and shortly after I recieve BSOD, after about 20-30minutes the pc would be completely fine.
The BSOD can occur whilst booting into Windows, browsing the web, playing a game etc usually within couple of mins after Cold Boot.I can run Memtest, Prime95, IntelBurn Test for hours without any errors.
I have sent the motherboard back to
www.novatech.co.uk, they have confirmed the problem from their technicians and sent the motherboard back to GIGABYTE.
I received a new motherboard from Novatech, however the problem still persists on stock settings and even with 1 graphics card this has happened, I bought another graphics card along with my new PSU recently.
Things I have tried to fix the problem:- I upgraded to a Corsair TX950w PSU, I used to have a Corsair TX650w PSU
- Reseated HS/Fan
- Updated BIOS with all recommended versions (I currently have FF2 from Tweaktown)
- All motherboard, graphics card drivers are up to date
- Disabled unused things like firewire, some SATA ports etc
I have read on here that some other people have the same issues that I am having and have tried the troubleshooting that was recommended to them all to no avail, I am running out on what else to do here.
Some have suggested this may be a BIOS issue, but I have no idea what it could be.. I have tried pretty much all the BIOS updates and the problem is still there ONLY on Cold Booting after hours the computer being off and BSODs for a while after it seems the computer has 'warmed up', it then runs flawlessly.
Its driving me nuts!!!
Any help would be appreciated!
