I hope some of you have some good info that might help. I have been running my GA-P35-DS4(rev2.0) solidly for a couple months now, zero problemas. Last night it suddenly started to have major problems while trying to POST. It will display the screen (non-graphic) that shows the CPU ID and clock speed, below that is some kind of id information in <>, then below that the line "Memory" with only the top half of the y showing. This is where it usually would display "Memory Testing". After about a minute it shows the entire line, a large number that is something like 4gb and it boots normally.
once it boots it seems to work fine. I am running memtest86+ right now and after 50 minutes its still running and so far no errors. Sometimes it seems to slow way way down, other times not.
If the memory is passing memtest, could the memory still be faulty? or is this more likely an issue with northbridge, the cpu or something else?
Anyone have any ideas about it?
I had my machine mildly overclocked for over a month at 3.2ghz(with aftermarket cooling). it was 8x400, with the ram speed at 800. I always monitored the temps and they were always around 32 idle and under 40 when doing lots of work. I had run it through prime95 a bunch of times also to make sure stable.
Recently I tried to install a PCI card and was having issues with it. so i changed back to 2.4ghz and auto vcore in order to see if that was the issue. That didn't solve the PCI card problem. I only mention it because that was the last thing I did to the BIOS before this problem started happening. The card has since been removed. I tried to clear the CMOS too, but maybe I didn't do it right, will try to do it by removing the battery. I already tried to go into every screen of BIOS to set to fail safe defaults.
Any other ideas?
