Hi All. Have run into a problem that I cant seem to resolve. This is the first time I've used a GIGABYTE board for a build. The build was working fine for a few months until Windows XP blue screened. Tried to reboot, booted, blue screen straight into XP loading, tried Safe mode, rebooted, went to BIOS safe defaults, tried to reboot, blue screen.
The system was set up for dual boot XP/Vista64 on separate drives. Booted into Vista, tried to reboot and received message from BIOS something on the order "Scanning hard drive for BIOS Image". The system went through rebooted "Scanning hard drive for BIOS Image" a couple of times.
Now it wont POST at all. The four PHASE LED's stay lit and the speaker is emitting periodic clicks but no beeps. I have tried a different power supply, all devices out, re-seated the CPU, down to one stick of RAM (tried all 3 in different combos) The system layout is
EX58-UD3R
INTEL Core i7-920 (SLBEJ)
OCZ DDR3 Platinum 1600 6GB
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W PSU
Cooler Master Hyper N520 CPU cooler
Its looking like I'm going to have to RMA the board, but if its something else I'd rather know now than find out with a new board :) Any help would be appreciated as GIGABYTE support seemed to have lost my email :(
Oh I read somewhere else about someone who had the "Scanning drive" issue and they suggested putting the latest BIOS image on a drive and trying to boot. Tried this...no luck. Thanks.
