I have the following error randomly on the motherboard: 73 PCH DXE initialization (PCH module specific) with BIOS F7

The problem is that no PC randomly shuts down; Error 73 appears on the motherboard and I can not turn off

The technical service of Gigabyte has told me to take a photo and that and made.

At first I was told to change the BIOS F8C but does not behave well with memory frequencies.

Now I'm with the BIOS F7





And these are the frequencies with the BIOS F8C
As can be seen in the BIOS F8C memories go faster frequency of Stock





The pc does not turn off. It stays with the lights.
If you press enter the PC goes into windows.
But if you give off no off.
You have to reflash the BIOS again so that it could shut down.




I tested the memories and not fail.
It is a random error of motherboard.



Any help will be well coming

The problem is resolved by disconnecting a device SATA port 4

With the F8 BIOS also has given me debug code 73 off today at the last minute. I was monitoring with the easy tune frequencies in stock and the cpuz and shutdown has given me the damn error 73. I'm back to the F7; It seems that the sata 04 has nothing to do...

Seems to be that I am not the only one with the error 73.

I spend a month and i am waiting for a response from Gigabyte technical support .

No one has anything to say? What a shame!

When the rig is shutting down, i have the debug led code 73 and never shutdown, is a loop. So I am very sure that problem is the SLI configuration.
I put one card working alone, and the PC, motherboard working perfect. So I put again both cards working together and same problem.
How to fix it?
Well I did various testing, change the position of the videocards and put in diferents slots, and the PC working good.
In my last test, I put again the video cards on the slot 1 and 2, clear the CMOS an leave the configuration by defect.
I changed in the BIOS the profile of the memory in 2666 MHz, operating sytem-other, not more Windows 8 WHQL, screen logo-enable, save and reset the configuration. After that reinstall nvidia drivers.
And my PC working good.
