X58A - UD3R Boot Up Issue

[Rebel801]

Your welcome DM - I always thought that the motherboard was OK and I hoped that a new bios might fix the problem, I hope it works for others as well.

Cheers

I just bought a new system I7 350 Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R 6GB Kingston1600 Ram 5870 ATI my problem is every so often when l turn my pc on, it sets my ram to 1066 when this happens my pc will not load it gets to the Windows 7 64bit animated start logo and freezes and causes BSOD, now this happens at no set time only from cold bootups, sometimes it turns itself off for few seconds then reboots and sometime just boots, so now l have to watch when Gigabyte logo at start and press tab to see the RAM Mhz when it sets itself to 1066 what l have to do is go into Bios and do not change anything but just save and exit and then it sets itself back to 1600Mhz when its at 1600 my system boots up perfectly and runs beautiful, I have updated motherboard and thought it fixed it did not cause a problem for a week or 2 but just today l went to start PC and it changed my RAM Mhz again back to 1066 so l had to go back into bios do the usual, not change anything and then save and it back to 1600, at first l thought it was motherboard that was broken and wanted to replace it, but now reading on net alot are having same problem, l am on a disability pension and took me a long time to save for a new pc, seems it is not a RAM problem as many who are having the same problem & have diff Branded RAMs.
Also noticed a problem with Noctua CPU Fan l have set it to 900 speed sometimes it will not power up just sits there rocking the fan l have to watch to make sure it turns on, then other times just spins up straight away and no l do not have power issues also pc in always connected to power, seems sometimes the motherboard just does not give enough power to the CPU fan.

Is there any HELP for my and everyones problem please thank u for ur time.

Also tried to use support on Australian site to tell them what going on but cannot, also cannot tell them that site links do not work as when l choose suppot all l get is link to Australian site with no email or phone numbers nothing, when l choose product then any country it sends me to this 無法顯示這個頁面

I would suggest that you have a problem with your PSU. It might be that it is struggling to provide the initail startup current but ok once running. Try another if possible more powerfull power supply prefereably with a single 12V rail.

Its already been tested buy the shop l bought it at and they say there is no power issue at all, if l put the fan at 1200speed fires up every-time and its a 650w Thermaltake EVO Blue. but its not my main concern its the bios Ram changing like alot of ppl are hving this same issue l hv been reading all over net.

Without knowing more of your system specs it is hard to say.

What BIOS version are you currently running?

What revision motherboard do you have?

[EagleOne]

l am running Fe1 Bios, Motherboard X58A - UD3R
Intel X58/ICH10R/Rev 2.0
socket 1366/PCI-E2.0X16/ATX 6DDR3/8-CH HD Audio/1394
GbE LAN/2 SATA 6Gb/s/2 usb 3.0
ATI Radeon 5870
6GB Kingston RAM.

if u need more please tell me thx

The final version of BIOS FE is available now for your revision 2.0 motherboard if you want to try that and see if it helps with your problem.

Make sure that you use QFlash to do the update and disable Keep DMI Data on the QFlash homepage.

I will give it a go and give u a response and see how my system boots up after update.
But as l try to install it says its not for win 7 32 or 64, but if l q flash it like it says.
my question is l am already on FE1 as l type in last comment is this another FE update?

[Dark Mantis]

FE1 is a beta version of the BIOS and now the BIOS has reached the final stage and has been released as FE so it probably has some minor adjustments since FE1.

Hey all,

Thought I'd throw my findings into the mix - I also have the cold boot issue and although it's not causing any issues I'd like to know why it's doing it.  After Dark Mantis' post I updated to FE and like Rebel says the cold boot thing goes away after disconnecting from mains which is great.

However, when I change any setting in the BIOS and 'save changes and exit', the PC powers down for a few seconds and starts up again - same issue as before.

Rebel is this the case for you as well?

[Dark Mantis]

This is an issue that affects all motherboards of all makes but what causes it I have yet to fathom out. It only happens in certain instances and some chipsets/boards seem more prone to it than others.

Yes - a reboot after (some) bios changes is perfectly normal, all of the intel chipset boards I have used in the past few years have behaved in this way. BTW glad to hear that the FE bios worked for you as well - obviously Gigabyte has figured out how to fix this issue after 5 bios updates, which is great news for X58A-UD3R (2) owners.

Ok l am now running FE update went well, l load default settings, but l still had to set my Ram under System Mem Multiplier to 12 for my 1600 Ram, also noticed now my CPU Clock Drive now running at 800Mv previously was 700, & PCI Express clock drive is now 900Mv previously it was 700 as well is this ok? another setting l noticed that changed was under Advanced Mem Setting, under Performance Enhance was set to standard, but after upgrade is now on Turbo on reading says enhance system performance in red warning after overclocking, standard could improve system Stability, should l leave the turbo setting or put it back to standed as l do not over clock my system.
while setting and checking bios l turned off pc just to see it load up from cold boot and it changed itself back to 1066 ram problem by turning itself on and off again, so l went back into bios changed nothing saved and it set back to 1600 and booted properly, now l do not know if my ram clock problem is fixed or not, when it did do the 1066 ram problem that one time a message came up saying there was a problem with over clocking but l like l said l do not over clock my system, well will keep an eye on the ram clock problem to see if update did anything or not will keep u posted no it.

Hi l am still waiting for some answers to my questions in my last post Please l just want to make sure all those setting are right

[Dark Mantis]

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.
