Title: Please Help P67A UD3
Post by: JmChile on May 16, 2011, 11:41:27 pm

Hi all,

In the last 3 days my computer has really gone bad.

When im surfing the web, playing, word ANYTHING my computer will randomly freeze. After some time (5 minutes aprox) it will come to normal, if not it will show BSOD. After BSOD i turn it on and usually my PC would get stuck on the motherboard logo scree, and stay there for ever. I cant enter BIOS Boot options etc... from there all I can do is turn it off. If I turn it on immidatly after, it will not boot and get stucked on the same motherboard logo screen. What I usually do from here is turn it off, disconnect the AC power and leave it ther for 10 minutes, and after that it would boot normal. But after that, the procces would start again from the start, crashing in about 30 to 45 minutes...

So, does anyone here have a way to fix this problem? If you guys want I can upload screen of the BSOD next time it happens.

My Specs are:
i7 2600k
8gb Ram 4X2 Ram Gskill
Noctua NH d14
GTX 470 Nvidia
Mushkin SDD 60GB
Gigabyte UD3 P67A

Oh, and by the way.. I still have one of the faulty motherboards, since I dont live in the USA and I bought mine there therefore I cant sent it to Intel to get a new mobo... a family member is flying to USA so one of my options is to ship it then, but that would mean that I would not have PC for some time and I need it.

Hopefully you can help me, since this is becoming very frustrating and I really need help.

Greetings,

Jm

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

The fact that there is a BSOD is not much help on it's own we really need to know what the stop code is on it.

Does this happen even if you leave the computer idle ?

Have you tried disabling the power saving modes in the BIOS ?

Hi!

Thanks for the reply.. The only images I have from the bsod are these..
sorry for not having the entire screen, since these pictures are old and I havent had another BSOD to take new pictures (as soon as I have one I will post them here.

The first thing i would want to check is the memory. Please follow these instructions exactly.

I would suggest that you download and run the latest version of  Memtest86+ to check your RAM first.

Memtest86+        http://www.memtest.org/

Insert one stick of memory in slot 1 and run Memtest on it for at least 10 complete loops/cycles and if there are no errors then swap it over with the next one and continue untill you have checked all  modules.
 
If you have any errors the module is faulty.

If you have any faulty modules you will have to return the whole kit as they are matched.

Post back when you have done that with the results.
