GA-P67A-D3-B3 duble start

[TigetLi]

Hello Emin,

Try booting with only one memory stick in RAM slot # 1 and see if dual boot takes place.

Is this dual boot common to both cold starts and warm restarts from within Windows?

How and when did this problem surface? (New computer rebuilt, hardware mod, added device, BIOS change....)

When you re-flashed your BIOS to F4, did you used the original BIOS file you had downloaded or did you download a fresh version?

Can you expand the listing of your system to include all devices that are attached to your system. (Includes Keyboard, mouse, all devices...)

Have you changed any initial settings of BIOS F4 defaults install? If so which one(s)?

Use the CPU, MEMORY and SPD tabs in CPU Z and then post pictures of the info it displays for these three tabs to this thread.

What is the intent of the two pictures posted in your first post? Why is the purpose of the second picture?

regards,

Hello emin,

Thanks for your reply, it helps me focus on what is happening on your system. Lets look at your last comments: "

Q:    When you re-flashed your BIOS to F4, did you used the original BIOS file you had downloaded or did you download a fresh version?
A:  I did not understand this. I flashed with downloaded orig. BIOS from Gigabyte site.  F4 is latest version

What my question should have said is did you re-download the BIOS F4 or use the F4 BIOS file you had previously downloaded? You can occasionally get corrupted downloads and re-downloading and re-installing a file or application sometimes makes a difference.


Q:   Use the CPU, MEMORY and SPD tabs in CPU Z and then post pictures of the info it displays for these three tabs to this thread.
 ok PrintScrn.....   Any picture will do as long as it is readable. Whatever device you used for the pictures in the first post should do fine.

I noted that you selected PCH SATA Control Mode to:/AHCI, why? What is your HHD(s) and or SSD(s) config?

Make sure that you disable all power saving and sleep options in BIOS and OS. We want to make sure that your computer actually shuts down and does not go into deep hibernation.

Certain set up will keep power going to attached devices if system remains plugged in. Can you try to re-boot to BIOS after shutting down and not unplugging with different keyboard and mouse installed? Just want to see if  your Logitech devices are contributors.

Can you go to members profile for this forum and enter your system info in your signature block. Use DM and I signature block as benchmarks. This will help us visualize your system to better help you.

I put the pictures twice but the antivirus program from this forum deleted posts

I download another copy F4, and F3 also, and again the same.

AHCI because I previously installed OS with AHCI setings,
but it does not matter, the problem occurs with disconnected SDD, HDD and DVD

I'll try with another keyboard tomorrow when I get it.

I flashed the backup bios today with the version of my main bios which is the F4 ofcourse. Believe me you will never do the alt+f12 combination with USB keyboard. Buy or borrow a PS/2 keyboard to do the job. 100% guarantee...

Yes good advice there and always useful when faultfinding or running DOS programming.

unbelievable but true, usb keyboard was a problem. Today I bought a PS/2 Chicony for 9 € and everything works nicely.

question still remains why MB dislikes my USB keyboard, but I do not have to deal with. New keyboard is fine.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

Great news emin,

You can now troubleshoot yout Logitech keyboard if you wish to. Check OEM support site and forum for possible firmware or driver updates. Search logitech forum for posts similar to the problem you experienced.

Normal USB Keyboards need + 5 volts  power to operate. Adding  lighting, and added added feature to a keyboard like yours makes voltage provided even more critical. Try plugging your USB Keyboard into another USB port on your motherboard or a self powered USB hub.

Good luck,
