Hi everyone, long time lurker but rare poster here. I have an OC built Titan Goliath system purchased back in Nov '09.
Quick spec list...
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R (rev 1.6)
Intel i7 920 2.67Ghz OC to 3.2
6Gb (3 x 2Gb) Corsair TR3X Platinum 1600 9-9-9-24 ram
MSI N560 GTX-Ti twin froza II 2gd5 OC edition GFX card *
OCZ Vertex 3 60Gb (upgrade - OS installed here) *
OCZ Vertex 30Gb SSD
1Gb WD Black storage HDD *
DVD RW
Samsung SH-B123l Bluray drive *
Antec 300 case
650W Cosair PSU
Windows 7 Home premium 64bit
* parts added by myself Nov 2011
My problem started last Friday. The system had been working fine earlier in the day, was in sleep and when I clicked the mouse to resume it got stuck into a 'boot loop'
The cpu, psu, and case fans all span for about 5 seconds the mobo cpu phase leds all lit up, hdd light on front panel lit up, and then it shut down, and tried again, and again, and again etc etc.... I had to hold the power button down to shut it off.
There's no video signal sent to the monitor at any time during the loop, and no beeps either. I don't think it even gets to the post stage.
So far I have disconnected all hdd's/optical drives, cleared CMOS with a jumper pin, pin tested the psu with a DVM and 12v/5v/3.3v all where they should be.
Internet search shows this is a problem with this mobo manufacturer, but if anyone has any other ideas as to how to get my system to boot, I'm all ears...
Or am I looking at a borked mobo??
TIA
