Hi,
I assembled this weekend a new PC with these components.
- GA-X48T-DQ6 rev1.3
- OCZ DDR3 PC3 16000 - OCZ3P2000EB2GK
- Intel E8500 CPU
With a fresh installed XP OS running fine and stable it was time to see what it could do on the hardware side:
I ran into two issues:
Issue1:
Whenever changing the CPU host control to manual and the "CPU host Frequency" to the defaulting 333 or higher the system would not boot without resetting this item again to disabled .
Then the bord was flashed with the new F5 bios (21-07-2008) and it ran again fine and stable at default 333 speeds.
Issue2:
I started tuning the memory timings. Each setting was followed by a reboot afterwards:
1333 = 8,7,7,18 = OK
1333 = 7,6,6,15 = OK
1333 = 6,5,5,15 = No boot
Nothing to worry about I would say, so I shorted the clear CMOS pins for a while and powered the system afterwards on. Still it's not booting A battery remove also brought no solution.
At present it's dead because it's not booting anymore at all.
It shows the same symptoms as mentioned on the internet with the faulty F5 bios that was available on the Gigabyte website before.
Anyone any ideas, suggestion or tips that that may lead to a resolution?
(These components should working together, also with some nice overclocking results. Gigabyte X48T DQ6 Living Review - Page 45 - Clunk's Forums. Until now my first GigaByte mainboard experience ain't quite what I expected.)
