Title: GA-X58A-UD3R - BIOS options not accesible
Post by: d.southy on May 21, 2011, 04:46:08 pm

I have been looking at changing my memory timings but i have gone into the bios and some BIOS options not accesible. There are greyed out. I have a password on the bIOS which it accepts and i can remove it. Still no options to select and the load setup defaults and fail-safe are not useable.

Any ideas?

Hi

I am not sure that I totally understand you but there are always some BIOS options that are greyed out either because the part the relate to doesn't have that ability/feature or because you have to enable something else to be able to change them.

I can't understand why you cannot select load Optimised BIOS Defaults or any of those options though.

 When describing a fault with words , you have to be really careful to make sure even your mother can understand what your getting at......rereading several times before posting sometimes helps.......I,... like DM am finding it hard to understand exactly what you THINK is the problem!

 I own this board myself (Ver2) and once had a hiccup with the Bios.....The fix!......bios FG is now available on the Gigabyte website and seems to be stable as, flash your bios and reboot, load optimized defaults and reboot, change all the parameters you need to suit your hardware back to it's original state and reboot again and go to Windows to verify everything is OK,....reboot and see if there's any changes to the problem you had before, ...at the least this will take several guesses out of the fault finding mission.
