Hi all
I have a problem when booting where it takes 4 or 5 attempts for the machine to boot properly. When you first switch on the machine all the fans start up and the lights come on etc but it doesnt boot. It is trying but all that happens is that the fans slow down a bit and the lights dim a bit and it is like they are going up and down and then you get the beep and it boots up as normal.
It does not matter what settings I have in bios. I have tried fail safe settings and optimised and overclocked and not overclocked.....it does it no matter what settings i have
I thought at first it was a psu issue as it seems to have started doing this since i bought my 4870x2 card. I had a 700watt tk toughpower which was about 18 months old and so i bought a 850 watt corsair tx last week, but the problem is still there.
My full spec is this
I7 920 @ 3.2
GA-EX58-UD3R with F6 bios
Corsair TX850 psu
6 gig of kingston hyperx 1600 mhz . not in xmp mode. Manually set voltage and speed in bios
WD 640 gb BLACK.
Haf 32 case (RECENTLY BOUGHT)
XFX 4870 X 2 (RECENTLY BOUGHT)
LG Blueray player/dvd writer
DVD Rom
ASUS XONAR D2
Hauppauge T500 Nova TV Card
as i said above I have had this set at stock and overclocked and get the same error.
Does anyone know what it could be?
Once the machine is up and running it runs great. No problems or BSD's but the boot up issue is doing my head in
Any help much appreciated
I have made this post on Gigabyte forums as well to see if anyone there know what is causing it
thx in advance
