Z68AP-D3 - BIOS Not Loading
« on: November 05, 2012, 08:51:01 pm »
Hello all

I'm not the greatest when it comes to knowing about motherboards so you'll have to bare with me.

I've had this motherboard for about a year and, when i first got it, i had a problem where sometimes when it was booting it would turn itself off, on again, off etc until it finally booted. This usually took about 4-5 times until it got anywhere and when it wasn't working it wouldnt even get as far as the splash screen.

At the time of the first issue there was a BIOS update which seemed to fix the problem and it was all sorted, but over the last couple of weeks it's come back and is doing the same thing.

Does anyone know of this issue / know of a fix? Like i said i've already updated my BIOS to version F7. Specs are below:

CPU:  Intel Core i5 2500K
CPU Cooler:  Corsair H60 Water Cooler
OS: Windows 7 64Bit
Motherboard:  Gigabyte Z68AP-D3
Memory:  8GB Corsair 1600mhz Vengeance (2x4GB)
Hard Drives:  500GB S-ATAII 3.0Gb/s
Graphics card:  AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB
Sound card:  Onboard 7.1 Audio
PSU:  650W Corsair TX Ultra-Quiet

Many Thanks

Same again tonight. Turned it on after about 15 hours of shutdown to have 4 reboots until it worked.

Incase it helps the Revision Version is 1002
