Sry to pull up an old thread but as Im having the same issue and the fix seems a simple bios update hoped that someone may still have it somewhere (shame they gignt add it to the downloads on the mb page).

Basically been running 8600gt on this board GA-M57SLI- S4 (rev2.0) for quite some time and it finally died, so l went and got me a nice shinny 5770 all seems fine once booted up but getting the same wait-click-wait-click etc same as others...

If anyone still has it be a hero and send it my way pls
Thanks.

Hi there,

what hardware are you actually running and what is exact problem?

[katus]

AMD athlon x2 6000+
ga-m57sli-s4 rev 2.0
4gb kingston hyperx
gigabyte ati 5770
sb audigy
Nox urano 500W
WD caviar black 500GB sata

when I power on the pc it beeps and cdrw lights 3 times before run, before flash to new bios takes 6 or 7 beeps.

[absic]

Did you remember to reload "Optimised Defaults" in BIOS after you flashed with new version?

You could also try clearing CMOS to see if that helps.

[katus]

yes i reload to "optimised defaults". How clearing CMOS??
