Startup trouble with GA-P67A-UD4

[Welshman]

Hi thanks for the reply, I have run memtest and there are no faults, I used the following memory
CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 - 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 9-9-9-24, XMP, 1.50V
as recommended by Scan.co.uk,  I see loads of people all over the world reporting the same issue in other forums..

Regards..

Yes it is good memory and a good price at the moment. I have just fitted the same in my Sandy Bridge build and am very impressed with it.

I know that it is an issue at the moment but bad RAM can cause the same symptoms.

Hi

I have just heard from our Technical Advisor and he has suggested that you might want to try one or more of the following things:

Update your BIOS with F3b available from TweakTown:  http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/28441-gigabyte-latest-beta-bios.html

Try setting the XMP profile in the BIOS to Profile 1

Try changing some of the memory timings in the BIOS

or even maybe try some memory modules that are on the QVL : http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-p67a-ud4-b3.pdf

Instead of starting a new thread I'll ask this here.

On the Gigabyte site the bios listed for my board is F2 first release.  Date-- 2011/02/22

My boards bios is F1 -- 02/14/2011   

Im having issue with the shut downs at restart and cold boot.

Should I try and flash the bios to f2?

Hi

I know there has been some confusion with this issue and I haven't heard any official explanation so far but I have discussed this BIOS compatibility with Lsdmeasap and they are going to be doing some cross board testing over at TweakTown to see if the versions from the older boards are compatible with the B3 versions. I think they will be as the board has no real changes that would affect BIOS settings.

I would say that your F1 should be upgradable to F2. If there is any problem the checksum should fail before installation.

Hi thanks for all your info, my friend has taken the UD4-B3 back to Scan.co.uk and swapped it for a UD3-B3 board, all is working fine with this M/Board.

Glad to hear that it is all sorted out now then.
