Hi all,
I received my upgrade today which is as follows..
Gigabyte Z68AP-D3
Intel i5 2500k
G-Skill Ripjaw 2x 4Gb 1600Mhz DDR3
The problem is.. its stuck in a boot loop.. This is a new build so not touched the bios.
I cant even get into the bios, All I have plugged in is my graphics card, power, dvi lead & usb keyboard (tryed the k/b in different sockets). Tryed a mouse and the light on it flickers when it should be solid when it gets power
It will go into an infinite loop restarting itself.
I have triple checked both power connections to the motherboard. Both power are plugged into the g/card.
There is no short circuits. I have all the brass standoffs in the correct positions.
I have just replugged in my old board, cpu & ram.. Test best stylie and powers up fine. Not PSU.
Any input would be greatful.. Other im taking it back sunday.
It is not my psu as it was running an overclocked Q6600 prior to pulling apart the machine about 6 hours ago, Which draws significantly more power than an i5.
HSF is mounted nice and solid, theres no heat issues.
In vain i also tryed a clear cmos via the jumper, but as i havent been in the bios this seems wishful.
So within 6 hours of receiving this board I have been put off buying gigabyte again.
