This is one of THOSE weekends.
Having sorted out the problem with my son's Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 fault yesterday, my own computer with the same Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 type m/b now has a fault.
It usually runs 24/7, but this morning it had a blank (black) screen and would not accept input from keyboard or mouse, so I hard reset.
It booted into the BIOS and I checked and F10 saved/rebooted.
This time it hung with a Post error code of C1- Detect memory.
Having learned from yesterday, I removed all memory sticks except one in the DDR3-1 slot, cleared the CMOS and powered on again. I tried all 6 sticks in succession, but in each case it still hangs at C1.

Again I ask for helpful suggestions please.
 
Thanks for your help again. you are a star.

No, it almost instantly flicks to C1 and hangs, so it doesn't take the next step of expanding the BIOS into Dram.
 
OK, but that will take a little while to do, since I'm using it to get to this forum. Before I shut down to do that, do you have any suggestions if that gives the same result?
 
Same C1 error with memory from my son's computer!

Yes, I tried removing all cards and disconnecting the hard drives, but still the C1 error.

It seems that the board is not seeing the Dram. Since the Dram is OK, I suspect that either there are no volts on the Dram or the memory controller(?) is not working.

Maybe I should check the Power Supply outputs?

If the board is dead, then perhaps it is time to get a new overclocked gaming bundle.
