take out of the caseQuote:

also do not tighten the cooler at all just lean it on CPU and hold it with your hand to see if it will boot up :)
when this hapened i was with a gskill LA working ( no probems) and then i went to the bios , change FSB and then this problem hapened then i went out for 15 days, sold the gskill LA and unpluged all cables and battery and i arrived yesterday and bought a new RAM Teamgroup PC 5300 3-4-4-8 that arrived today and try turn on the computer after i was out for 15 days and the problem steel the same (on-off-on-off) .Quote:

now that i sold the Gskill LA i dont have any other ram than the teamgroup PC 5300 to try , but this problem hapened when i had the gskill LA ddr2-533.

I updated my DS3 bios to F4 official version from F3. I now notice that my machine is no longer dual prime stable. After a few minutes I get an error running dual prime.
I even upped the voltage from 1.40625 to 1.4125 which I know both were dual prime stable before but now neither voltages are working. I am hesitant to bump it up above 1.4125 since I know both of these voltages were working fine for me before.
Everything runs fine, I can game great for hours but no more dual prime stable. Is this important? Why would this change? Is my processor getting damaged from the higher voltage and now starting to malfunction? My temps are exactly the same as before 45C idle/56C dual prime load.

you need to clear your cmos again and load optimised defaults
and then change a couple of things and save settings reboot change a few more and all the way to settings you remember as working onces...........and slowly get up to the previously stable speed :)
mascaras
can you give me a link for the teamgroup ram you have ?
i know some people say the teamgroup ram works but i also saw some people say when they flash to the new bios the SOME ram will no longer boot.
you have any friends maybe you can use 1 stick of ram ?
the motherboard maybe needs to be RMA'd.
thats what i would do.
if you cant find another stick of ram to test just rma it.
dino's idea of removing the motherboard from the case is 100% correct. that is the correct way to trouble shoot it. but sometimes not needed if it worked one day and then the next day its not working.
But if you rma it you have to take it out anyways so you might as well take it out and test it....
what psu do you have ? there have been a few people here lately that have had PSU's die. and when they replace the psu it works again.
so try that if possible.
yeah your problem could be RAM related there unfortunately..........try and borrow some other RAM to testQuote:

Its just weird though. Same voltages, same everything but not more dual prime stable....
Yeah, wasn't that nice of Gigabyte? I have a Sytrin VF-1 cooler and it's a HUGE PITA to get to the jumper.Quote:

I am wondering if the new bios increases the vdimm default voltage from 1.8 to something higher and if that could be messing my dual prime stability up since I am set up to run +.3vdimm. I am wondering if that is now too much and causing sp2004 to fail.

but i had this computer working OK with Gskill LA PC 4200 before i tried Overclok 400FSB 1:1 then this hapened and hapen with both ram ( gskill LA and Teamgroup) .
first time when i bought the mobo and CPU this hapened 2 or 3 times but i pulled off the batery 4 ou 5 seconds and then its OK but this time no way to go , thats why i think the mobo is dead.
regards
could be dead yes.
well i'd call gigabyte and see what they say and try for an rma.
if you have a different video card try that too.
try anything. video,, ram,, psu.. cpu.. its alot of work but if you can figure out the problem you'll feel good that you did all the work yourself and found the problem
but its very strange cause this mobo already works with all this components( VGA, CPU,RAM,..) and a simply settings change cause this , i think bios is corrupted.
im thinking in change for a ASUS P5B non deluxe , what you say???
regards
So which of these bios are working the best right now? Is it the official or the beta bioses.
OK , already send it to RMA , now i have to wait :rolleyes:
regards
only 2 hours later and you already shipped it out for RMA ? lol
and yes if you changed something in the bios and when you rebooted it doesnt work anymore ? yeah that sounds like a corrupt bios.
i hate gigabyte for not making a socketed bios chip that is really lame. but then again if they did that maybe they would add $7 to the cost. who knows.
but if the bios crashes your screwed.
only way to recover is if the bios can boot to when you see "bios recovery...."
yep i already shiped to RMA , im tired of this crazy gigabyte , and before this problem hapened i was also tired of the computer boot with xxx setings and next minute dont boot with same settings and so on ......Quote:

whatever , im just waiting wtih DS3 till DFI Lanparty RD600 is out.

MAKE SURE TO RESET CMOS DATA!!! Check out my results after upgrading to F4 and resetting CMOS! 400 x 8 at DEFAULT VCORE NOW!
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=111757
LOLOL i am sure i reset cmos data ( its nothing of other world , its very , very , very easy)Quote:

I already had this problem before a few times and the only thing i had to do to boot again was pull out battery for a few seconds and i can boot again but this this time wont go .
whatever , i already send it to RMA , i hope they send me a new and good mobo that run high FSBs :D
regards
That post was meant for everyone else trying the new bios'sQuote:

I will try the new bios when i get my mobo again ( hope that hapen real soon :D)

i just built a new E6400 week 26 and DS3.. with stock bios (F3) i cant oc a single MHz, then i quickly install windows and flash to bios F4 and things become amazingly wonderful..
@ stock vcore i already stable for Super PI at 400x8 :D
LOL? e6400 week 24 retail in order to get 400fsb i have to set vcore to 1.5 just to get to windows wtf. i dont believe your stories of stock volts, sorry :) unless i got a very very very bad mobo AND cpu...very low chances.
3.2 @ stock is NORMAL for ES chips.
and there shouldnt be a problem for retail chips.
vintage your issues of 1.5v @ 400fsb are BAD BAD BAD and i mean that
thats absolutely HORRIBLE
that has to be the worst clocker i have ever seen.
whether you believe it or not your hardware .. there is something wrong.
very HIGH chances you got a bad mobo or bad cpu.
just cuz you have 6400 doesnt me jack sh|t it means N O T H I N G
the exact same cpu same week and same build built from the same production line in the same country does NOT in any way shape or form mean you will have the same results as the other guy.
to even think that is funny.
thats why i scoff at people who say xxxx week of cpu, everyone else is getting super high overclocks. that is going to help but its no guarentee.
and i have had MANY 0520 0519 and 0522 AMD64's all good weeks
every god dang one of them was crap compared to other peoples.
you have something wrong with your system and you need to fix it in order to get your clocks up
f4 bios seems to have some sort of auto voltage adjustment if you leave the voltage set on "normal" ... probably not a good idea to do that.
