DS3 Restart hanging

Saul · 16 Jun 2007 at 10:57

When I restart my PC, the motherboard (DS3) seems to hang and the only way to solve this is to unplug the power cable at the back and keep it out for a bit.

It doesn't beep (saying it passed the memory test) and when I do manage to get it to load up, when I check the BIOS my overclocking settings have gone back to auto.

Here are my specs:
Mobo: Gigabyte P965-DS3 (F11 BIOS)
CPU: Intel C2D E4400
Memory: Team-Elite 800mHz stuff

I'm sure I saw something about DS3, C2D's and 800mHz memory, how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance,
- Saul.

i got that some times on my ds4 try upping the v core a little. and make sure your ram is getting the correct voltage

when u unplug the power press the power button for 10 secs, will clear capacitators of all power and then you can boot up without having to wait

Doesn't work for me when I have this issue.

It just seems to disregard my overclocking settings, I think it forsees them as unstable.

Will it be safe to up my Team-Elite DDR2 800mHz Memory voltages up? If yes then what to?

Up the voltage on the RAM by +0.3V

Ok, I'll try that. Although the operating voltages is +0.1V, is it safe?

It refused to boot at +0.3V and now it refuses to beep on cold boot, it resets and sets the CPU to stock again...

What are your overclock settings bud ???

When it was working it was 3.2gHz, and Orthos said it was stable.

CPU Frequency: 400x8

also got FSB and DRAM 1:1.

Thanks in advance,

what about vcore, mch, and fsb voltages??

All normal.

try upping the v core a notch or two and give it +0.1 on the mch and fsb c if that helps

Nope, didn't work. It didn't even work on 2.75gHz. It starts up for a second, then reboots. I'm really sick of seeing the Blue / White and Red BIOS screen.

Mine does exactly the same. I have just ordered another board so I will let you know if that allows me to maintain my settings at startup.

I like you have an Orthos stable overclock but it often resets at startup.

Soooo sick of the blinkin BIOS screen. I have been through all my settings and nothing helps. It could be the CPU though. I'll keep you posted.

You think it might be a faulty board? I'm taking it to my mates this weekend so he can 'av a butchers.

Anyone?
