X58A - UD3R Boot Up Issue

[xrep]

AH! so it was the RAM that was stopping the fan to stop for few seconds.
I bought a 6G(2Gx3) Pqi 1GB DDR3 1333 RAM.

Is it possible that 550W Coolermaster power supply could be causing the problem as well?

Hi

I am not sure which problem you are referring to but obviously if the power supply in insufficient or faulty then it could have a bearing on the system as a whole.

 Hi, I thought my problem would fit into this thread.

Thats my specs

GA-X58-UD3R REV 2.0 BIOS FE
I7-950 3.07
KGB 1800MHZ 9-9-9-24 DDR3
hd6870
be quiet 650w
 
and that's the problem

I bought brand new components and I have difficulties to configure memory. It works on minimum speed 1066 but any attempt to change it to its default or even 1333 ends up failing. What setting in bios should I use?. I have tried 1333 1600 1866 9-9-9-24 which is what they recommend but it fails. Memory should work with 1.3v (at least according to the shop I bought it from) but as a default it has 1.5 when 1066.
 
Also there is something wrong with bios or motherboard. Any restart or change in bios will cause no post. I have to wait around 3-5 min and then It can boot to default settings. Even when I change time in bios on default settings.
Tried:
new psu,
different memory slots,
single memory sticks,
resited cpu making sure all socket pins are ok,
reversed bios but there is no change only more issues with USB ports
Different graphics card,

When I manage to get to windows everything works fine, games benchmarks apps. Did not oc only tried to get memory working within its spec.

Please advise since motherboard is only 3 weeks and probably I can return it or exchange it for something more reliable.

Hi

As far as I can see your settings are fine and don't forget the differences in the BIOS might be what has been changed to rectify the original problem.

Dont worry about the red overclocking warning, it really isn't important.

The 1066 memory speed is just that the JEDEC standard is that and so that is what is displayed. Basically you are overclocking your memory to reach the 1600 Mhz.

l do not have 1066 RAM l bought the 1600 Hz RAM So l am not over clocking right as it is 1600RAM?

Also turned PC on today and the CPU fan just started rocking again had to turn PC off & on normally the second time l boot the fan kicks in, l hv been watching it sometimes fires fan straight away other times it slowly rocks until it spins up and on other occasions it just sits there rocking and does not spin up so still hv the fan problem, it has not changed from 1600 back to 1066 since the one time on bios update so l hoping its fix the RAM Hz problem with the latest update will keep an eye on it and keep u informed .

To czos
have u updated ur bios? if so then u might have bad RAM or a Bad motherboard, cause l hv 1600RAM l my system works perfect but when it changes itself back to 1066 on occasions my system will not boot and BSOD, when that happens all l do is go into bios change nothing save and my system resets itself back to 1600 and runs fine again.
if ur RAms 1800MHZ u should be able to run it at that, try that and reload pc running that 1800MHZ or 1600 might work, u could have the same problem as me and many others with the RAM MHZ problem.

I would say that your symptoms sound like the fan isn't receiving enough power and hence the rocking motion. Most fans need 7v minimum to start otherwise they do as you describe. Maybe your PSU isn't up to scratch. What power supply are you using?

Can you clarify what amount of memory do you have and how is it installed?

l hv 650W Thermaltake EVO & Noctua CPU Fan l have set it to 900 speed, when its on 700 & 900 its when l hv the issue at 1200 do not seems to hv the issue but hv only tried it onces for only 10mins. but l been told by the shop l got it from l hv plenty of power, to think l did hv 750W it did the same thing but was way to noisy so l went back to 650W. whats ur opinion?

also is this ok l do not have 1066 RAM l bought the 1600 Hz RAM So l am not over clocking right as it is 1600RAM?

[Dark Mantis]

Can you plug your Noctua straight into a molex connector so it receives power directly from the PSU?

Does that make a difference?

IS molex connector just a normal power supply connector? will have to get a connector to do it will give it a try will it be ok not being on cpu fan connector will it still run right?

Also l spoke to soon as of today l turned pc on there was no display everything was on for like 15 seconds then pc turned itself off then turned itself back on and set the RAM to 1066 again so l had to go into bios change nothing save then exit and it set itself back to 1600 so the RAM Mhz problem is still there.

[Dark Mantis]

As far as the fan connector goes you can buy an adapter to go from Molex to fan connection  which is a cheap and easy solution to that problem. And yes the Molex connectors are the normal ones from the PSU with four pins a couple of cm wide.

I am hoping to get a P67 board to be able to test on shortly so hopefully I will have more insight into the resetting problem then.

[EagleOne]

So how did u go, u said u was getting mother board to test what results did u get ?
As today l turned on pc and it started up stopped then started again on its own and once again it changed itself back to 1066Mhz had to do the usual again go into Bios do nothing save and exit and it changed itself back to 1600Mhz.

[Dark Mantis]

Well I have only just got hold of all the components to finish the build yesterday and actually got it all complete last night. It made a couple of false starts at the first turn on as expected as the BIOS/CMOS sorted itself out with the new hardware and then seemed to be fine.

That is a s far as I have managed to get so far but am hoping to start testing it better today.

Do u work for Gigabyte? do our problems get relaid to gigabyte so they can bring out fix's or fix the problems.
l only ask this to know how our problems get solved and if Gigabyte know about these problems.

[Dark Mantis]

No I don't work for Gigabyte.....they are still holding out so far

Runn3R is the only Gigabyte employed person on the Forum and so we pass necessary information on to the company through him or GGTS. That is why we often advise members to relay their issues that need a BIOS fix or something like that to GGTS so that they are aware of the problems.
