Gigabyte UP3P Constant Freezing.

[Dchelt84]

Ok so I built a new computer, and have been having a problem with constant freezing, and not responding from a lot of programs, especially windows explorer. It started with an error message when I was booting up that said DES is turned off, please use application to turn on again. I uninstalled the dynamic energy saver application but that doesnt seem to be the problem. I tried updating the bios from f6 to f7 but that didn't help. It also will not shut down properly, when it gets to the screen that says windows is shutting down it just hangs there. My cpu temp when I go into bios is 40c, I don't know if thats normal or high. My specs are:

Gigabyte EP45-UD3P
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit for System Builders - OEM
EVGA 512-P3-N879-AR GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
Lite ON DVD Burner DH-20A4P-04
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor.

Re: Gigabyte UP3P Constant Freezing.

post your bios settings here for help

Also have you tested to see that your computer/memory is stable? Try memtest 1st, need to boot from it. Then if it passes a couple hours or a couple loops of test #7 try Prime/OCCT/ect,, to see that its stable

Prob the 1st thing to make sure is to set the DRAM voltage to what your memory states is needed.

Re: Gigabyte UP3P Constant Freezing.

Is there any utility or program I can use to copy and paste my bios settings here, or do I have to go into my bios to get them? Also I have ran the windows memory diagnostic and it passed, I'll try the memtest as soon as I figure out how to do it. Sorry I'm kinda new with all this stuff, the last time I built a computer it went fine so I guess I'm paying now.

Ok 1st go into bios and remember/write down your settings.

As for memtest, go here and download it

Pick the correct version and if you use CD then get the ISO and use a free burning program like IMGBURN to burn to a CD.

Or you can use Floppy disk/USB but little different.

I don't see anything for legacy usb storage detect. The closest I see is USB storage function, which is enabled.

Re: Gigabyte UP3P Constant Freezing.

They have had some problems with the large Seagate drives freezing, Google it. But don't update the firmware unless you are sure it's not the one that will brick the drive, because they leaked one on the web that bricked a lot of drives.
