Title: GA-X38T-DQ6 & Q6600 locks up after BIOS reset
Post by: nigelmercier on February 28, 2011, 12:05:03 pm

I had a problem with a SATA CD drive not showing as removable, and during my investigations upgraded from BIOS f6 to f7g, at the same time resetting the CMOS. The system became unstable (it kept locking up), so I went back to f6, but the instability remains.

I have a memory from when I bought this motherboard of having to set a CMOS parameter (voltage?) to a non-standard value, but I can't remember what it was! Note that the default voltage setting for the Intelligent Tweaker in the BIOS is NOT on Auto, but setting it to Auto does not help.

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

First thing I would advise is to load Optimised BIOS Defaults in the BIOS and then change any settings you prefer to run with and F10 to save and exit.
