Gigabyte EX58 UD5 multiple restart on cold boot

[DavyBoy]

It's definitely updated to F9?

I really don't understand how this has worked tbh, I've tried this on more than one occasion, and on 3 different systems using this motherboard, and each time I got the same results...

Maybe it's because I have quite a lot of settings altered in my profiles, whereas these o/ced bundles have a pretty generic profile tbh (no offence to OcUK intended!).

@mrix was your system built around a bundle mate?

 

[gazjones105]

yeah its deffo F9. i checked on the @BIOS application (which tells you)


and also ran msinfo32 which also says bios version F9.

 

[fornowagain]

Its always a bad a idea to reuse profiles with a new bios. You got lucky is all, case in point. From F7 > F9 you'll see the inclusion of dynamic vcore.

The old profile won't have that and something so fundamental could cause all manner of problems if not setup correctly.

I tried to load a 4ghz profile from the F7 bios to use with the F10 one and got a warning message, read through the settings are they were fairly scrambled so loaded defaults and started from scratch. Probably the better option really.

 

[gazjones105]

you got me worried now. do you think if i ask overclockers for the F9 bios overclock settings then would send them me???

 

[fornowagain]

If you bough the system there I would expect them to send the F9 profile.

 

[gazjones105]

ive just emailed them to see if they will send me he F10 profile.

i didnt even know there was an F10 until you mentioned it.

im gonna change to the F10 now and load my overclocked profile.


ill report back if it works ok or not.

 

[gazjones105]

ive updated to the F10 bios and loaded my overclocked profile and its worked a treat. no errors or nothing.

You use @BIOS to flash?!?!

After I screwed up an old MSI motherboard from flashing the BIOS via windows I swore never to use a Windows based flashing utility ever again..

It's always best to flash from a floppy/usb pendrive using the Q-Flash utility on Gigabyte mobos.

 

[gazjones105]

i didnt use the @BIOS. ive just put it in the screenshot as it shows the bios version. sorry about the picture being small. im new to photobucket and showing pictures in forums.

im still awaiting response from overclockers to see if they can send me the F10 profile.

for now though im using the overclock profile from the F7 on my F10 and everything is working fine. i know there have been additional stuff addd to the bios since F7 (like dynamic vcore) but these are all set to auto anyway.

ill let you know if i get the F10 profile off overclockers.

this was my response from overclockers...


Dear gareth jones, At the moment we do not have the settings that work on the F10 BIOS due to us not supporting the F10 at the moment. Hopefully over the next couple of days we will try and get a bundle setup with the F10 BIOS and see if we can get a stable overclock.

re:

I have just received my ram back!!! they say there is nothing wrong with it

I had to purchase a new set of ram £190 which fortunately shows all 6gb and runs fine...
I re-fit the ram they sent back just to see if anything changed but still only showing 4gb seen on boot up! and showing 4gb usable in properties

Next I go through trying the 3 sticks in the first slot like I had done before.... 2 sticks fine showing motherboard code of FF the other ram doesnt boot up the system showing code of C1

They have charged me for re-testing and now I have to send it back again

understandably I am not happy.

Mate, if I were you I'd be sending these back to the manufacturer, if you send them back to OcUK again they're only going to tell you the exact same thing.

I understand what you're going through, I've had similar things happen to me in the past where I've tested stuff and found them faulty, only to RMA them and get told there was nothing wrong with them, it is highly frustrating to say the least, and even more annoying when you spend yet more money on replacements!

What type of RAM is it?

I was going to say it's maybe a compatibility issue, but this was bought as a bundle so that clearly isn't the case.

re:

Things have taken a turn for the better and overclockers have asked me to send back the faulty set and they will re-fund me.
There was light at the end of the tunnel
Cheers all

I rang them with this issue and they said the same thing
Lets hope they can come up with something

That would be the icing on the cake
