Hi, Well recently got E6600, G-Skill HZ memory and DS4 and overclocked to 3300 with memory at 458Mhz..... But today for some reason the DS4 refuses to boot at 3300... Now I tested everything well I as was in windows overnight..... 8 hours of prime.. passed... and also played some flatout 2.. then restarted to check something in bios and now it wont boot at 3.3, it wont even boot at 3.2... WTF ?!

I'm really sorry I bought this motherboard now... its just dodgy.. Anyone have any idea why its behaving like this ?
 
Yep, i'm using F3b.. It wouldnt even boot at 3Ghz with memory multiplier lowered so its definately the motherboard causing this... :(

Also, how do flash the older f2 bios back, the @BIOS program isnt accepting it... :mad:

shocky, im getting exactly the same issues as yourself with this board, i primed my 6300@ 3.2ghz for 10hours yesterday 100% stable then i shut it down and turned it on this morning, and it fails to boot. This board is crap, I am using the F3B bios and i use the Qbios is it called? use a floppy and it flashes off the floppy pritty easy, But this board is driving me nuts its just crap on cold boot starts.


I can not even get in the bios with my Rocket Raid 2320 PCI-E card installed.

Have to disconnect it everytime to get in the bios and as you can imagine can be a complete nightmare when the pc wont cold boot properly.


I am not a happy person with this board as i know its holding back my clocking.
 
Thanks, managed to flash it with a floppy... but im getting the exact same problem.. It wouldnt boot with a 1Mhz memory increase so I'm starting to think the mobos faulty... But, I came back after about 15min of it being powered off, started it up it booted at 3.3GHz.... everything worked.. but again as soon as I restarted it just restarted and reset to defaults again...... annoying !!.... not sure what to do..... You think ocuk would accept it back for not overclocking ? :(
