Hello,
I've been using a GA-X58A-UD3R (rev2.0, bios FH) in my main PC* for 4 years now.
I used it under Win 7 and OS X Mavericks.
I'm experiencing a weird issue since yesterday:
The system will POST but will absolutely NOT boot any OS, not matter what medium it is installed to (USB, HDD, DVD, SSD).
I can get to the bios or F12 boot menu, but right after drive selection (if a bootable drive is chosen) the system reboots.
So far I tried with Windows 7 Install DVD, Linux CD (PartedMagic), Linux USB drive, ...
The only thing that goes beyond boot menu is a DOS-formatted usb disk with FLASHSPI.
Since my bios revision is FH, FlashSPI refuses to flash a <1MB BIOS file, so I've only been able to revert back to rev FG1. Reverting back to an older BIOS revision via backup BIOS is impossible, since I updated it to FH (via alt-F12) few days ago.
I performed usual things like various CMOS resets, let the system rest uplugged with battery removed for the night, ... Tried with a known good 4GB Ram stick,... no luck so far.
Any idea, guys ?
Thanks,
Martin.
EDIT : tested with another graphic card and a known good PSU, nothing change.
If booted from a Memtest86+ USB stick, system reboots after 3-4 sec
