Update Happened again this morning. I think last time i pulled the power plug out and turned on the computer to drain all power, plugged it back in and didn't get the problem for a few weeks.
My wife has a H77M D3H and she never gets this problem.
I had a cold boot issue that turned out to be a peripheral. It turned out to be an eSATA RAID1 box. I swapped it to FW800 and she is good. It's the box's fault not Giga's.
I take it you have taken it down to just a mouse & keyboard, both wired to see if it repeats.
I know I get those kind of boots when my Clock is not right also.
Have you stripped all the peripherals and taken to the latest BIOS posted on the official Gigabyte site for the board?
And just a reminder, when you flash a new BIOS be sure and optimize it and then tweak.
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H WB Motherboard
Intel Ivy Bridge i7 3770K clocked @ 4.5GHz
16GB Kingston Hyper-X Genesis 2133 RAM
Water cooling by XSPC RASA RS240 Kit
Sapphire HD 6850 1GB DDR5 GPU
1TB - RAID1 setup with Western Digital 6GB/Sec Drives
Corsair HX750W Professional PSU
Windows 7 Professional (x64) Build 7601
Upgraded my GA-Z68XP-UD4 to the UEFI BIOS and have a couple of questions -
1/ Can you still Back-up the BIOS using ALT+F12? Doesn't appear to work for me anymore.
2/ Is there are Manual (or Website) to explain some of the New or Changed UEFI settings.
3/ Is the current Touch BIOS B11.1201.1 compatible with the new UEFI BIOS? as I see there is Touch BIOS (UEFI) B11.1124.2 a special one(?) for the X79.
For all those having problems with a Boot Disk have a look at this website MS-DOS Bootable Flash Drive - Create - Windows 7 Forums worked perfectly for me. Once you have the USB Boot Drive just copy the Gigabyte files over to it (Autoexec.bat, FLASHEFI.EXE and Z68XPUD4.U1G or whatever your UEFI BIOS file is)

Try running that DOS flash drive under U1G and tell me if it still works for you. It's Alt+F10 btw(from 1st post). The main point of UEFI update was Ivy Bridge OC support(currently no LLC). Haven't tried TouchBIOS.
Using Ivy bridge with my gtx 580 and z68 rev.1 mobo my pcie1 lane is borked to x8 speed. what am i to do buy another board so i can get my x16 speed back? or buy a gen3 GPU and get my x16 speed back?

I use 1UA beta verson for Z68X-UD4-B3. The PCI configuration is broken on my board as well. I have found that the PCI lane being broken down to 8x is causing me boot loop errors. I have been testing a lot of the options in BIOS to make sure that it is the PCI lane causing the problem and it seems to be the only error my system is producing. I have also noticed the BIOS won't hold selections such as Init. Display First set to PCI over the restart. Also the time and date seem to be reset as well?!?
Now the question is, will this be fixed when the versions are out of beta and released?
So despite getting all riled up I managed to find a way to sucessfuly return to Award BIOS. You simply add a line to autoexec.bat on the DOS boot drive simmilar to this:

Thanks bad144 for uploading the tool.
FWIW I've reported all the bugs I found to GGTS. I encourage everyone experiencing bugs in the UEFI updates to do the same.

Hi and thanks for that. If you mean does the DOS Flash drive still Boot to DOS (using F12) after U1g then the answer is yes. ALT+F10 works fine but I'm sure that the 1st post said only for X79 (or something like that) when I first read it :-)
Is the Gigabyte U1g UEFI implementation truely UEFI? Because I can't seem to get a .EFI file to boot. If it's possible to boot EFI files, how? I have a FAT32 EFI partition on my thumb drive that has a GPT partition scheme. In that partition, the EFI file is: "BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI" (Its an EFI Shell.)

Interesting. I'm using onboard graphics and GGTS suggested popping in a discrete card and using the VGA output. I guess using a discrete graphics card would be sufficient.

The only thing connected is my mouse and keyboard, speakers and mic. I have flashed bios a number times and its all fine for a number of weeks then one morning boom cold boot problem. I did have a problem with my joystick causing bsod once but i never really use it anymore so i dont have it plugged in.
I did turn my ram down from 16 to 13 to see if that could be the problem. i will see how that goes over the next few days.

The file should be EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.EFI. And boot from entry: EFI: USB USB USB, etc...
