GothicCorpse · 7 Dec 2014 at 02:26

Hey i just installed my Gigabyte 970A-UD3P and a fx 8320 and some new ram it all started fine working perfecty i was happy

Then i went to restart my pc but ended up doing shut down instead so i returned on the pc the fans started but no beep and the monitor just kept flicking on and off

i looked inside and it seems the led on the motherboard wasnt on so i turned it all off unpluged it and retried it worked ok again then i thought i will turn pc off and return it on to see if its better now

but nope same issue it seems sometimes my motherboard works sometimes it doesnt i tried resetting the bios that didnt help i unplugged the cables inside the case and that didnt work im not really sure whats wrong with it

please help GothicCorpse

Please provide the full spec list of the computer. Make and model of each component.

Take pics if possible, showing every connection, particularly of the motherboard.

What speed is the memory running at?

Reset the CMOS, should be a switch or remove the battery on the motherboard for 10 minutes.

I guess that PSU is not up to it.

GothicCorpse · 8 Dec 2014 at 16:57

is resting the cmos the same as where you put say a screw driver against the 2 pins? if so iv done that

do you think updating the bios to the betas would work?

found my psu it is like 4 or more years old so could be why https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=stealthxstream 600w

Resetting CMOS is same as shorting those two pins.

If the BIOS is old then try flashing to the latest at Gigabyte.

GothicCorpse · 8 Dec 2014 at 17:57

seems there is 2 bios updates one that iv already got F1 and a newer one but its beta:? does that matter

Does it say what it fixes?

GothicCorpse · 8 Dec 2014 at 18:02

mm doesnt seem to say anything :S http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4717#bios

Update code, probably for those new FX CPUs with lower TDP.

GothicCorpse · 8 Dec 2014 at 18:04

so you think that wouldnt help? im guessing it is the psu then grr shame was saving my money up to buy a 290

stulid · 8 Dec 2014 at 18:05

I dont think it will help.

GothicCorpse · 8 Dec 2014 at 18:09

ok thanks guess theres not much i can do but to never turn the pc off ever again lol guess will have to wait untill payday and get the psu thanks for help tho

GothicCorpse · 8 Dec 2014 at 18:19

GothicCorpse · 8 Dec 2014 at 19:48
