AOpen i975X YDGa Problem Solving thread

[wwwww]

i think it is the cpu and not the board!

@wwwww
you tried it with more vcore?

Yup

1.5V no help

Completely stable at 1.25V @ 223FSB so I'm pretty sure it's not the CPU (at least not clock limitation-wise - maybe something like the B1 Dothans).

If you drop the multi, do you get stuck at the same place ?

[wwwww]

Yep

[ibby]

Yep

Yep tried 4-4-4-12 with no luck.

[tictac]

has any one looked at aopens bios to see if their are any hidden settings they can unhide ?
ie 1:1ram ratio ?

pm me the bios file

[wwwww]

pm me the bios file

Also the multi I'd like

[wwwww]

w00t I discovered how to turn off RAID. You set in the bios for IDE and SATA2 to be disabled, and they remain enabled and RAID gets disabled.

The boot order still seems completely unpredictable. Ok I can't figure out at all how to get it to boot from HDD.


It's HDD, HDD, HDD - all it does is Boot from CD..., Boot from CD..., then does the LAN thing...wtf???

[jmax_oc]

Yep tried 4-4-4-12 with no luck.

Try the other timings
They are also important

[wwwww]

hmm won't boot from hdd's atm...can't test...

[G H Z]

Try re-enabling IDE & SATA

[wwwww]

Try re-enabling IDE & SATA

Done, no luck - cleared CMOS, no luck. :@

I think that might have been my HDD (Giga ss)

Trying a conventional harddrive

Can you boot now ?

[wwwww]

Can you boot now ?

yeah the conventional harddrive worked.

My 4 gigs of Gskills are dead - never ran them a MHz above stock and then they just die on me. Just testing them on my server. No post.

Dead ?

How odd!

[cirthix]

all four eh... something is up

[wwwww]

all four eh... something is up

perhaps the gigacrap did it, but it didn't hurt my ballistix.

[ibby]

what is Gigacrap ?

[Thorburn]

The Gigabyte iRam thing I presume

[ibby]

The Gigabyte iRam thing I presume

ah right

iam such a noobie sometimes

[wwwww]

I've spoken to Aopen about all these problems I'm having with my board and they said I should rma it......

Hopefully I get a better clocking one.

i have a very bad problem, because i can't get in windows with my 7900 GTX videocard. if i boot with the 7900 GTX the system hangs up after the windows loading screen and then i get a black screen, but the system doesn't crash, because i can hear the hdd's :>
if i boot with my SIS PCI 4 MB videocard i can get in windows without any problems ;(

[railer]

Could be your PSU. I would try to get into safemod with 7900. If it crashes it means there is probably not enough power or faulty card. I would also reinstall windows with 7900 in the sys if its not the PSU issue
