I have a p67 ud5 rev B and have been having massive problems with it here is my system
mobo: p67-ud5
bios: tried em all
cpu: i7 2600k
ram: Kingston 2x2g 1600
psu: 700w coolmax
I have flashed the bios, reset the cmos, removed all the hardware (chip,vga,etc) and put it back in, tested the psu(mutlimeter and paperclip) and still have the same problem. I can get the system to boot, but after a day or two it no longer will boot then i repeat all of the above steps with random(at best) results. When there is no boot it halts at the cpu in the boot process which means blue cpu led is on and there are no beeps from the mobo speaker. please advise

Hi jimmy1228, ;)
Did you mount yourself this computer?
If yes check this topic : http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,3739.msg28452.html#msg28452
Please describe entirely your system : exact model about video card, PSU, Ram.
Please give a web link for each.
Have you one or two video cards?
Did you check the battery on the motherboard?
I wonder if it would be better to just disconnect all the hardware.
And to a minimum mounting hardware on a cardboard box cut to the ground or on a table. Not in the case.
Try with only one memory stick. Not All.
If an error occurs try it in a different slot on the motherboard.
About CPU and HeatSink:
You have a standard heatsink like this: http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Intel-Sandy-Bridge-Review-Core-i7-2600K-and-Core-i5-2500K-25.jpg
or

Hi
My first thought when you say that there is no noise at all from the speaker is that you have a piezo electric buzzer and you have it in reverse polarity. If I am right make sure that it is indeed on the correct pins and the right way around. You should be getting some beeps out of the system at some stage.
If you have done that and still no help then I think you need to follow these instructions:
The next thing is to remove the motherboard form the case and test it on the workbench.
Make sure that you observe anti-static precautions.
Lay some cardboard or use the motherboard box that is non-conductive on the worktop and remove the motherboard/CPU/heatsink/fan/buzzer/one stick of memory and PSU from the case and put it on the cardboard. Add the keyboard and now I know you haven't got any graphics but try and boot. The system should try and then fail emitting a series of beeps. Please post what sounds it makes.
-
no i mean by no noise that it does n0t make it far enough in the boot sequence and it is currently sitting on the box the mobo came in speaker is in the right way and for clarification are you saying i should remove everything from the mobo (heatsink, fan,memory,vga) and try to boot

i should also mention that when i have no boot my mobo acts as if there is no cpu present i.e. if i remove the cpu and try to boot i get the same results:
gd1,gd2,and cpu leds are lit no power to the gpu (fan not running) is it possible i have a cpu that is faulty and only works sometimes?
gd1: normal operating conditions led lights up green
gd2: overvoltage led lights up orange
cpu: led lights up blue (indicates a problem with the cpu)
-
I think that if that is the case you need to take a couple of macro photos of the CPU socket pins so we can check to see if there is any problem there.
Take all the usual anti-static precautions.
Very carefully remove the heatsink and fan. Probably a slight twisting motion is best to release the two as the thermal paste can act like a glue.
Once off remove the CPU taking extreme care both physically and electrically(static) and place somewhere safe.
Make sure that the lighting is very good and even.
Now scrutinise the socket for any pins that are out of alignment, even slightly.
Take a couple of macro (close up) photos of the socket and post them on here for us to check.
Also look at the bottom of the CPU at the lands (little copper circles) and make sure that there is a mark in each somewhere near the centre.
If there are any missing marks or any of the pins are obviously bent then that is your problem.
Before refitting the CPU clean off all residue of the old thermal paste and the same on the heatsink and then apply a small amount (about the size of a grain of rice) to the centre of the CPU once it is inserted in the socket.
-
so i took the photos but how do i show them to you also the lands all look punctured

Hi jimmy1228, ;)

Excuse me, my comprehensive english is not very welll.
So please reformulate the end of your phrase in blue color.
Sorry...you make allusion about... socket or...???
How do I post pictures on the forum ?

If you only have a couple of smaller photos you can usually post them using the "additional options " at the bottom of the posting box when you are formulating your post.
-
well this is not working my photos must be too large i will have to shrink them
-
here we go starting with the bottom right and going clockwise around
-
next
-
halfway there
-
almost done
-
and I'm done i hope these will work for you if you need i can post an origanl(not shrunk) of a particular photo
-
Hi jimmy1228, ;)
About a picture, I do not view a major problem.
If you have any doubt about any of the photos.
We say. You see the socket better than us. Anyway, Dark Mantis check again too later.

Have you a comments or infos about this facts related in this post?

standard heatsink
-
got it to boot
flashed my bios to f7
now i got more lights than a christmas tree
-
The lights should all show at first and then go out one by one as POST progresses. Is it all working now.?
The bits on show of the socket looked fine. Maybe it just needed reseating properly.
-
okay no i used a different processor and thats not the problem what else could be causing this
-
So you used a different processor and it worked? But with your chip it doesn't?
I'd make sure the fan and heatsink is correctly seated onto the cpu with some fresh thermal paste.
You say the GPU fan isn't spinning at all? Remove it from your board and use standard vga port and intel hd 3000 graphics.
Have you got the 8pin connector plugged into your motherboard as well as the 24pin connector?
Put the motherboard, cpu heatsink and fan, hdd onto a cardboard box and try booting, might be shorting on the case.
Try using one stick of ram in slot #1, if it doesn't work, use another ram slot, or another ram stick.
Remove all non necessary parts like gpu, dvd drive etc.

Can you explain more about using a different CPU please ?
You won't be able to use onboard graphics on a P67 as there aren't any. It was only the H67 that had the graphics capability.
-
put a different i7 chip in i am guessing its the psu if i leave the system running for 2 hours or more the next day it will not post if i then turn off the psu overnite it boots fine. seems to me like something in the psu itself is failing when the system runs for a while then by removing the power to the psu for a period of time it all works just fine.
the psu and the ram are the only things i haven't swapped out so im thinking of going to the local microcenter and picking up a corsair cx600 (theyre on sale and im not rich) just to try it out easy to return if thats not the problem.
-
Yes a good idea, especially if you can return it if it fails to be the base of the problem.
Good luck and a Happy New Year to you.
-
thanx same to you
-
Hi jimmy1228, ;)
I also wish you a happy new year 2012 and good luck with your hardware.
Be sure to ventilate your computer and remove dust. :P

Apologies, forgot he had a p67!
-
seems like the psu was the problem replaced the coolmax with a corsair and all is working now even after letting my machine run for a while it boots fine

Hi jimmy1228, ;)
Pfiew :P , it must be good for you and your hardware.
If you need, come again here, for comments.
