Greetings,

Thanks for adding your system parameters. I can now better visualise your system.

Can you expand as two how your system when from "it is running fine.." in your second last post to the boot and shutdown anomalies you posted in your last post. Did you make any change to your system configuration or the BIOS or windows settings?

Have you disabled RAID and selected IDE as interface? Does your Seagate hardrive need a firmware update?

Have you disabled all power savings and sleep options in both BIOS and Windows? 

Are you still running with onboard graphics or are you using your PCIe video Card?

Remember that your posts are our insights into your system. In future posts try to be as specific as possible. For Example: I have not made any changes to my hardware config or BIOS settings but I now have new problems. My computer now .... or I changed BIOS setting X and Y... and Connected my video card...and..

In summary many things could be causing the new sympthoms you described. We need to assert your config and settings first before being able to take pertinent corrective action(s). Take a few moment to answer above questions.

Meanwhile, double check your speaker connection on the motherboard, confirm both proper insertion and polarity.

no din't cahnge anything.

yes i disables RAID and selected IDE as interface.

Have you disabled all power savings and sleep options in both BIOS and Windows? 

yes i disabled all power saving options

Are you still running with onboard graphics or are you using your PCIe video Card?

i set Init Display First as PCI and Onboard VGA as AUTO.
i also set Full Screen LOGO Show as Enabled but it does not shows.

and speaker is also connected properly.

and last night i tried to OC manually by just increasing mulitlier by 45 and when i restarted to apply changes mobo choose mulitlier as 34 on its own.

In view of some of your little problems there I think it would be worth doing the following :

The next thing to try is to clear the CMOS.

Remove the power cable from the mains supply and then press the power switch on the case for a few seconds just to drain any residual energy in the PSU capacitors.

Once done remove the motherboard battery for at least one hour before replacing it.
 
Next plug back into the mains supply and boot.
 
You will now need to enter the BIOS by pressing DEL and load Optimised BIOS Defaults.

Make any other changes to the BIOS settings to suit your self like disabling the floppy drive, disabling the full screen logo and making the HDD the primary boot device and then press F10 to save and exit.

@Dark Mantis

i have to replace it after one hour  ..........

can i clear the CMOS by CMOS  jumper.........

[Dark Mantis]

No I am afraid not. Trying it that way is very hit and miss and can't be relied upon. The method I explained is the only sure way to clear the CMOS. In really bad cases sometimes we leave it all night!

[crownpiyush]

ok then i will do that way only.......

dear i did wat u told me to do and now pc starts with a beep but still POST screen is not coming i have to continouslly press delete button for entering in the BIOS.Sometimes POST Screen came and sometimes not.
and i also noticed that whenever i try to change BIOS settings through TOUCH BIOS beep sound again stops working and it starts working again when i  LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULT manually by pressing delete button.
Not able to enter in the BIOS on restart .i have to completely shutdwon my pc for entering in the BIOS.

where r u guys?

Hi sorry for the delay but I have other things to do as well.

Try disabling all the power saving modes in the BIOS. Remove Touch BIOS completely along with any other Gigabyte software that you have installed. Then clear the CMOS again.

[crownpiyush]

dear can it be fixed by updating BIOS......

[Dark Mantis]

It depends on what the problem is.

[crownpiyush]

buddy i more thing i would like to tell you that after clearing CMOS...........it starts giving beeps sound and starts showing start up screen and when i change anything from BIOS again no beep and no startup screen...........

i uninstalled all the gigabyte softwares and than cleared the CMOS again.it starts working untill i change any setting from BIOS. the moment i change bios settings it stops working again.
