Hi there

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.
There are a couple of different reasons that this could be happening. One is bent pins in the CPU socket the other is outdated BIOS version. Also it may be that the PSU is a bit low powered. The manual recommends 550W min.
-
yes may be but from 2 weeks it all goes fine ......may not be of PSU prob. i just tried FC1 bios but the problem is not solved, i m still getting cold boot plz sugest me what shoud i do?
-
Well the other thing to check is the CPU socket. You will need to remove (very carefully) the CPU and heatsink/fan assembly first. Then look closely at the pins in the socket and see if any are out of alignment even a little. If you are unsure take a couple of Macro(close up) photos and post them on here and we can check them for you. They must be clear though.

when i try after and after sometimes it show a small window ....there i found a last known good config. ...when i click on that the computr performs POST and window loads and work properly no any problem i can get in running state....so its not the procssor may be.......
-
The thing is you won't get anywhere by guessing! It is not enough to say it may not be something without even testing it.
-
ok i will try....another thing i can do ......hey also i want to know that i heared about RMA can i get my money back if problem is not solved

I have not heard of that but you would need to take it up with your local Gigabyte service centre.
-
yesterday i flash the bios with FB but still not any change why i can't get into bios settings to...? :(
-
i power off again and again when gigabyte logo come then after some time a screen open saying CMOS checksum error and load default settings after that mobo perform POST and window loads without any problem. but when i switched off the computer i got the same problem? :( ???
-
Right, slowly, slowly, catchee monkee...and then a quick machette blow and.. ;D
Have you cleared the CMOS properly?
If not do it now and remove the battery for ten minutes after unplugging from the mains and pressing the power button to clear any residual power.
Load BIOS optimised settings and save and exit.
Post back when you have done that.
-
i took out the cmos battry but only for 1 or 2 min. ok i will try this to......plz keep replying i m new to this.
-
OK no problem. All I ask is that you do what I say and don't get sidetracked. That way it will be much quicker.
-
i tried it but 1st time i can launch bios, in bios i changed and click on optimized settings after that save and exit but same problem i got again there.
-
Are you talking about the CMOS checksum error?
-
yeah when i directly turn off in middle of giga byte screen again and again the after sometime it shows that error and a window opens and load last known good configuration
-
Well from what you describe this would be normal in so much as you are turning the system off without shutting it down properly and this corrupts the data. I know you don't have a choice but that is what is happening.
Please just make a detailed list of all your hardware that you have in your case including your PSU.
-
config. of PC-
core i7 930 2.80 ghz
2*2gb RAM kingston 1033mhz
asus eah5770 ati graphic card 1 gb

-
OK that's good. I need the exact moel number for the memory. If it was a kit then the kit number please. Did you check the QVL of either Gigabyte or Kingston to make sure it was compatible?
-
what you mean by QVL i didn't get it? :o
-
mamory means RAM ?
-
product code of RAM=KINRAM1108
Name of commodity=KIN DDR3/1333/2GB_ KVR1333D3N9/2G-SP
I GOT THESE TWO MEMORY STIKS IN DIFFRENT COVERS
-
QVL is a list made by manufacturers so you can see what memory is compatible with what board. They dont all work together! It stands for Qualified Vendors List. You need to have a look on Gigabyte's QVL for your motherboard and see if it list's the memory you have got. You can also check on Kingston's website for the memory and see if the motherboatrd is listed against it.
Memory does mean RAM, yes.
Mamory is something totally different by the way :D
-
I have just checked your memory and although it is compatible with your motherboard you bought it as two seperate modules not a matching trio which they should have been. You should be running 3 modules on this board at one time. It is a triple channel board although it will physicall accept dual channel you will need two matching sticks and you will lose a lot of perfomance by doing so.
-
it means i have to buy 2 gb memory for this? :P
-
Are you using 32 bit or 64 bit Windows?
-
i m using 64 bit windows 7 :-\
-
In that case I would advise you to get 3x2GB modules as a matching kit. Trying to use what you have there is not working at all as they aren't even matched. You could buy a matched poair but that wouldn't be doing justice to your hardware or the Windows 64 bit OS. Make sure that you get modules that are compatible with your motherboard and a matched kit or you will just be wasting more money.
I am still not sure that your PSU is big enough either but one problem at a time.
-
ok but what should i do?
buy 2 GB same memory module (same model ) and these stiks are also compatible or u r saying to buy new 3*2GB memory stiks
then i have 3 memory modules......you meant this? :-\
-
Yes you need to purchase three new sticks together in one package as a matching kit. Three sticks if the same type won't do. They have to be a matching kit. ;)
-
i m confused means these will not work if i get a new same 2 gb memory stick????? :-[
-
No they won't. The electrical characteristics or the memory chips have to be matched not just the same type. Hence matched set or kit.
-
means 3 * 2gb KVR1333D3N9/2G-SP
will not work?
are u sure because 2- 3 weeks they worked fine? :(
these 3 sticks are of same type?so why they don't work?
-
hey u there? :-[ plz reply
-
actully i have no money to buy new RAM so thats why i m questioning again and again
-
The thing is I can understand your situation but I can only give you advice and the truth is that if you buy another stick of that memory to go with the original two you would just be wasting even more money. This is what comes of not doing enough research before building the system. Sorry but that's the way it is. :-\
-
yeah but i meant that i will buy same kingston RAM (same brand)same model no. :-\
they will not sync. with each other if they are of same model no.?
is that will also create problem?
-
ok sir hv a nice day talk to u l8r i hv to go collage... :P :)
keep replying on posts coz i need experts help
-
yeah but i meant that i will buy same kingston RAM (same brand)same model no. :-\
they will not sync. with each other if they are of same model no.?
is that will also create problem?
YES! Look I understand that you may not be able to afford new RAM but that doesn't in any way alter the facts that if you buy another single module there is not much chance of them all working together in your system.
-
why they can't work together sir?
-
Because when they are made they are sorted out and the electrical characteristics of the memory chips have to be matched together sot that they are exactly the same not just the same type. I suggest if you want to understand better and in more detail that you google the process of making matched memory kits.
-
but i buy them in two diffrent boxes one is in other,2nd is in another,it was not a kit of two ram :P
-
I understand that and that is where you are going wrong! You must buy a KIT all in one box. Usually it will even come with a different part number as a matching kit. Try looking on a memory manufacturer's website and look for matching memory kits.
-
ok now i hv to buy new kit of RAM slots, i will try it another thing i hv 2 do? :P
hey CROXAIR dominator is supported by this mothorboad? :-\
-
Yes certain Corsair Dominator memory kits are supported on this board but you will need to go to the Corsair website and see which ones.
I have provided you with a link so you don't get lost. Any of these kits will work with your board.:

;)
-
can u plz suggest me the model no. i can buy?
-
it is happening due to RAM?
-
All I can say is that the RAM you have is not right for your computer. As myself and Absic said before your PSU is also an unknown factor in so much as it is underpowered.
As for the memory if money is a problem then I would p[robably go for this:
CMX6GX3M3A1333C9 DDR3-1333 (XMS3-10600C9*3CH) 6GB Kit (3 x 2GB)
If you can afford more then go for the Dominators
TR3X6G1600C8D DDR3-1600 (Dominator-12800C8*XMP*3CH) 6GB Kit (3 x 2GB)
In the end it has to be your choice. It would be very easy for me to sit here and spend your money. Of course it all depends on what is available in your region too. ;)
-
i can arrange these ram hey can v use two power supply on 1 board? just asking? 8)
coz i have an extra PSU
-
Yes it is possible to use a master and slave approach with the master actually running the motherboard, CPU etc and the slave supplying the drives, fans etc but it is more complex to set up and with your knowledge level I wouldn't advise it.
-
ok i will call GIGABYTE supplier tomorrow....and may be in these 2 days i will go to them....may be they have some RAM to Check the board...
-
OK just let us know how you get on. ;)
-
this morning i took of the RAM and power on the pc....i heared no beep from motherboard speaker....in this case my last motherboard always give a continous beep?
is this motherboard is faulty?
-
First question is have you installed a speaker? or buzzer?
-
yeah i installed it.........whwn i put RAM in slots it give a beep then gigabyte logo pops up then powers off and again the cycle continue
-
Try it with just one stick in the first slot
and if that doesn't work try swapping the sticks over
-
ok in white slot i hv to put 1 ram
i put it but it no works
-
In that case I would suspect the PSU is not supplying enough power.
-
i put out 1 ram and remaining 1 ram in slot,after that when i switch on it...i heared a beep and then same problem.
-
i put out 1 ram and remaining 1 ram in slot,after that when i switch on it...i heared a beep and then same problem.
so dat's PSU?
-
reply? :o :P
-
i got 1600 mhz dominator and fsp evrest 800 watt
but now still getting the same problem...............het ram should be in white slot na?
-
Hi
Yes the RAM should be in the white slots. Did you get a matching kit of three sticks?
-
yes i got matching kit.....
-
is this now mobo prob. ?????????? :( ???
-
Just to clarify things, you now have three modules of Corsair Dominator 1600Mhz RAM in the white slots. What model number?
What BIOS are you using now?
Have you got the power leads all connected to the motherboard, the 24 pin, and the 8 pin near the CPU ?
Have you got the power connectors attached to the garphics card?
What cooler are you using on the CPU?
-
yeah all RAMs are in white slots.
RAM-TR3X6G1600C8D
yeah all leads are connected.....
yeah the display on the screen is gigabyte logo and after that pc goes of........
the cooler with intell I7 processor
-
You neglected to say what BIOS version you are using?
On the CPU cooler make sure that all four legs are firmly fixed to the motherboard as this is a common problem with this cooler.
-
sry...bios vr. FB
yes,the cooler is firmly fit but i fixed it once after that i had no problem it is working gud CPU temp is always near about 43 C
-
Ok try downloading and using this BIOS version FC3. Make sure that you get the right one for your motherboard.
http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/28441-gigabyte-latest-bios.html
Update it using the QFlash utility and when you get to the QFlash homepage disable the Keep DMI Data option before running the update. Afterwards load optimised setup defaults.
-
i can,t ACCESS bios toooo......
-
OK try clearing the CMOS first by removing the battery once you have unplugged the machine and then pressed the power button. Leave the battery out for at least ten minutes. Then replace and try booting into the BIOS again.
-
i always do this but....my mobo in warranty so if i change the bios may be they will not replace the mobo.
-
No reflashing your BIOS wont affect the warranty.
-
okk........i will try.....but i got tried of this thing........
-
Ah, well it's all the joy of building your own computer system. ;)
-
i didn,t flash bios yet but i got new prob. USB ports are not working
-
hey i flashed BIOS with FC3 first time it perform POST but now the same prob again?
-
So I take it the USB ports are working?
Did you flash the BIOS like I said and cleared the DMI data?
-
yeah i flashed the BIOS like u said DMI was diabled....and i boot up system ....but not goes to Bios to load optimized default settings.
-
Why didn't you load the optimised settings like I said?
-
sry i press del to go into bios but comp. performed POST before it.....i can do the same again?
-
Oh I see, no problem just go into the BIOS and select the load optimised settings and then make any other changes like to the boot sequence so that it boots from your hard drive etc and then press F10 to save and exit.
-
no its not working
-
Can you be a little more specific please?
-
uummm.....means? :o
-
More precise. What is not working? I am afraid I don't know what it is. ???
-
means i load optimized settings but its not working....still have same problem
-
By same problem I take it you mean it wont POST?
I always knew I should have been a dentist ;)
