hi guys.
i have stability problem and i hope you can help me.
i have ga-x58a-ud5 mother board ,team extreeme TX36144M2000HC9TC 2000mhz 3x2 gb tripple set and i7 930 model cpu.when i use this system as defult bios there is no problem .operation system and everything working properly . but when i open xmp profile in bios or manual overclocking system become unstable . operating system is looking work properly and even i can play game without problem , but when i try to extract zip archive or copy archive files from dvd to system ,files copying wrong .
because of that when i install the game or copy to zip archive to system , im making default bios settings . after that im loading the overclocked settings in bios . this is very strange problem because i made some stability tests and ram test but i didnt see any problem .
so, maybe somebody using same companent as me and can help me about settings.
notice: my english is not so much good, i hope you can understand me and my problem
thank you

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte forum.
Your English iis fine and I understand perfectly what you are explaining.
How are your drives set up, are they on the same controller ?
What is that controller set to mode wise ? IDE or AHCI ?
Are both your drives SATA ?

thank you for answer if i understood correctly ; yes , all drivers are sata , execpt dvd driver . this one is ide .
im not using ide mode for my harddisks . im always using ahci(with latest ahci and chipset drivers).since 2 months im using now raid 0 with two seagate 250 gb hdd and i installed the raid 0 on standart chipset ,
let me write you my system specs
i7 930 cpu
ga-x58a-ud5 ( with f6 bios)
team extreem 2000 mhz xmp tripple set 3x2 gb (now im using with 1800mhz by manual overclock)i set the timings 9-9-9-26 with 1,64volt
2 sata seagate 250 gb hdd with raid 0(its installed on sata 0 and sata1 ports,also i installed intel raip storage manager on win 7)

lg dvd recorder (ide)
silver stone strider 750watt modular psu
win 7 ultimate 64 bit
if you want, i can put photos of my bios settings.maybe it can be more helpfull for you and for other peoples

Well I would increase you memory voltage to 1.66v. Ignore the warning.
Also try putting your SATA3 hard drive on the Intel ICH10R southbridge ports also.
Change your IDE optical drive for a SATA one as often it can lead to problems when mixing the SATA and IDE on the one board.

thank you for answer
ok i will try your suggestions .
also i want to say one thing more ; when i close the overclock and set the bios default ,im hearing some buzz sound near the cpu, especially when i moving the mouse cursor. normally that was no this type of buzz sound when i got the motherboard.intresting thing is , this sound go away if i make any single overclock. i searched this buzz sound on web.some people saying " this is not problem ,it can be happening sometime " and some people are saiyng this is problem and send back to waranty and ask new one .
what do you think about this ? this thing makes problem for me ?

It is a know issue and if it annoys you enough you can send the board for RMA where they will change a capacitor and install a different BIOS to stop it. It affected mainly the GA-X58A-UD3R boards but others to a lesser extent. I find that it can normally be stopped by disabling EIST and C1E etc in the BIOS so you might want to try that.
