Memory Faults

since no one said this.
Have you got memory remap enabled in bios?
Have you unticked memory in advance options in msconfig?

i can't do this mate as system won't even get 2 past the boot stage in order for me to enter setup, it shuts down almost immediately and keeps restarting itself in this way
 
oh sorry i just read first few posts, i didnt realise you got another problem.

make sure the cpu contacts at the bottom of the cpu is clean of any thermal paste and the pins are not bent (i know you said they dont seem bent or missing, but double check).
check graphics card in another pc.
check psu in another pc.
and other stuff thats in the pci slots (if any).
have you cleared CMOS?
clear dust from ram slots and pci-e and pci slots.

what is the best way of cleaning the socket and contacts?
everything else ive checked and done, the thing is its a brand new system, was running fine except saturday when i reseated the CPU this happened...
 
Well if there's nothing on the socket or contacts it doesn't need to be cleaned, just make sure it's ok, you can just blow at it, maybe some dust came on contact or something, as Phatzy said, and also do the other tasks of putting your GPU etc. in other systems for testing.
 
does the thermal paste matter? because obviously i took the cooler and cpu off the motherboard do i need 2 reapply? should this affect the performance anyway?
 
its stays on, what like, posts?, boots into windows?.
cpu's are very very rarely become faulty, try the cpu in another motherboard if you know a mate that has such a board.
maybe the motherobard got damaged while you was resetting cpu cooler.

no doesn't boot at all mate just stays on i.e. no booting 'beeps' no screen display nothing. i have to say though while reseating the cpu, the waterblock (cpu cooler for the water system) did hit a component on the motherboard. i don't know what it is or if it could have caused this and it wasn't a big hit either and i can't see no visual damage just worth the notice i think. looks like a heatsink, its a blue 'block' thing directly underneath the cpu socket on the Gigabyte UD5 mobo if anyone wants to check on google..

That's just the NB Heatsink, it shouldn't matter if you lightly hit that, but the mobo may have gone, if you know anyone who has an i7 CPU then ask them if you can try it in your board just to check if it could be that. The worst thing you want to do is hand it over to ocuk and find out that it was your CPU that's mucked up and getting charged extra for it.
 
hey guys just an update 4 ya'all: couldn't get the MoBo to work normally even tried on another PSU etc. Have opened an RMA been asked to send it in and they will examine and replace (hopefully) for me. The technician I spoke to however did say that me dropping my waterblock on the NB heatsink shouldn't interfere or damage the MoBo's performance. Fingers crossed! will keep the status updated in this thread will post it off tomorow. Thanks for all your insight!

Haha Kidhaa!

Keep us updated then, I'm sure you'll get your mobo back up and going soon.
 
hey guys just a quick thing i was thinking of, on the mobo there is a 8pin pci power connection slot for the cpu socket. however, due to the shapes of the pins on the pci cable running from my psu, i was only able to connect 4pins out of 8. however, i then found an adapter in the psu box which lets me connect all 8pins to the 8pin slot on the mobo for the cpu socket. does anyone think there is a potential risk in doing this? overvoltage etc?
