Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[lowdog]

Update;

If the cmos is cleared by removing all components of off the mobo and removing the battery and placing a jumper on the cmos pins for at least an hour minimum then replacing all components then the board boots fine.......however if I then shut down and try to power on the system again there is no boot and I have to go through the whole procedure again.

Bigest POS board I have ever owned.

it seems you have the same cold boot bclck hole i have.

150mhz bclck works with cold boot.
151-199mhz bclck works with out a problem, but board resets after clodboot
200mhz bclck board cold boots.

I can live with that cause i intended anyways to go for 200mhz bclck, thought i need a bit higher QPI voltage is still only @ 1,35V + i have 12gb ram that puts addidtional streß on the mem controller.

Cold boot hole......man, I'm talking STOCK bios settings let alone any overclocking. This POS is won't boot at all after powering down even though I have now found that I don't need to strip the board down all I have to do is leave if for half an hour then it may or may not boot up again.

Also no matter how many times I mash the Ctrl-I keys it won't let me into the Intel raid utility.....omg...pos Gigabyte

RMA it and move on. Whining about it in a forum isn't going to solve your problem.

Let me guess.. you use an USB keyboard but forgot to enable USB keybaord support in bios?
Happened to me as well, most mobos have that option on enabled by default.

LOL not quite, if that was the case then hitting Del wouldn't have gotten me into the bios in the first place.

Yes it would. That's the irony of it.. just things after post screen and before windows don't work, like if you boot to DOS from an USB drive, or if you want to enter a raidcon menu
