**Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 OC-Tips-Bios-Discussion Thread**

[stasio]

OK, I've tried setting the timings manually and have XMP disabled, I've also given the RAM 1.6-1.66 vDRAM.

The problem still persists, only on cold-boots will it post and say "Recovering lost DRAM size..." and reboot. This stops windows from booting with less than 6GB and is not really a big deal but is still annoying that it posts twice every cold-boot.

I'm using the FB11 BIOS for my GA-X58A-UD3R rev2. I guess I should remove the CPU and check for bent pins. If I find any do I just use tweezers or something to bend them back or should I just take it back to the store?

Any help is appreciated.

I've already tried everything in those posts. I'm not going to bother checking the CPU pins, because if they are bent there is no way I am going to fix them, I shouldn't have to repair a brand new motherboard just because of some manufacturing defects.

I'll just take this back to my local store and pick up a few Mushkin sticks and a Rampage III Gene.

I don't know why I bothered with Gigabyte & G.Skill anyway, should have stuck with my gut feeling. Not only have I been having this problem with this board, but post times are very slow, the on-board RealTek is horrible (static microphone and random cracking sound). Very disappointing.

Thanks for your help though and good day!
