copy and replace with your overclock settings then paste back,if its giving you overclock warnings then something isnt set correctly,ignore the settings in the text just fill them in according to your current overclock

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

Ive just registered here as i thought if post my situation and at the same time see if i could get any advice/help.

I built 2 complete systems over the weekend, both setups are running exactly the same spec.

The main parts of the build are

i7 930
UD7 mobo
HX1000w PSU

I have read all 3 pages of this thread so before you tell me to test with a newer bios, i will do ;) however for now just so everyone knows both systems are running F2 Bios as thats what came on the board.

The system is overclocked and is stable, however the problem i have is the werid resetting issue....

If i turn my pc on, it will power up for a few seconds, power down, then power back up......

At the same time the screen will load to say that due to overclocking/voltage errors the bios has been reset (both systems are OC'd) however when entering the BIOS ill then see that the settings have not been reset at all, choose F10.... and boots into windows....

This weird power up, power down problem... im not sure what it is but i doubt its the PSU, not in my situation anyway.

Any advice would be appreciated, ill aslo be keeping an eye on this thread

Sounds like you have some incorrect settings, please do not use Fail Safe as a starting point if you are. False starts 2 or 3 is often normal at high clocks, but what you describe is not that. You are describing a failed overclock or failed settings (At any clock). If you see a warning at bootup, or a red box in the MIT Section then your settings failed. The settings you set will often still be visible in the BIOS and appear to be set, they just will not be used until you get them correct.

Please make a new thread with your issues, and your full specs and settings and we can help

So far ive found F5/F6 on gigabytes site followed by

GA-X58A-UD7 - F6a -22.Feb 10

They are looking into this, I will let you guys know once I hear back. Looks to me like it is some hardware compatibility issue since I do not have any problems with this, even at 4.2Ghz

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

Start a new thread? Why? This thread is specifically about the UD7 settings resetting themselves after shutting down after windows being reset which is what my pc is doing, hence why i registered and replied to this thread specifically.

Also i dont see how the settings are wrong as the pc is completely stable under prime95. The ONLY issue it has is not wanting to boot normally and showing the red screen

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

Well i tried most of the settings you gave though still dont get POST beep, and sometimes get the red warning screen (prime is still stable)

Uncore Frequency .......................... (Auto) << Set this 2x ram multi or 2x +1 or 2x +2 (+ 1-2 often best so 17-18)

Can you explain this one for me please ? ^^

Also im a bit confused regarding my RAM latency settings. My corsair ram is rated at 9-9-9-24 but in bios its showing 8-8-8-20? If i look at CPU-Z it shows 9-9-9-24??

Am confused to if i change the RAM settings manually in bios or ifs actually setup correctly

if your spd/ram multiplier is 8x the uncore freq will be twice that number then you add an extra one or two to it,so an 8xram multiplier will be either a 17 or an 18x..for your ram timings did you manually type them into the bios screen??? 9-9-9-24-1T???

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

Hi Warren,

no i did not. I was unsure what to do regarding ram timings due to the conflict of readings from bios/cpuz

Ive started a thread here http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/i7-9...75/#post348942 as to not get in the way of this thread

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

Thanks SB420 for making a new thread!

The reason I asked that was so that we could better help you, to keep things clean on your issues and what you have already done to try and resolve them. This thread is about EuP issues, nothing to do with what you are experiencing.

Please do add any new questions or questions from above you still may have to your new thread, so I can provide you an answer and wont overlook it being in this thread.

Thanks! I will get to your thread shortly this morning, making my rounds now

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

No problems, sorry i didnt do it sooner. When i first read this thread assumed my prob was directly related so couldnt understand the reason for making a new thread. My bad

Am grateful for the support so take your time :)

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

Cool, ya no problem to me either. I was just trying to keep things clear with your issue, and a separate thread is the best way to do that.

I just replied in your thread I believe, so hopefully I can get your going smoothly in the next night or so.

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

Has anyone else with somewhat similar setup experienced either of the problems, or have some more ideas to test? I'm hoping to find out if it just my particular motherboard, or if it is all these motherboards, or if it could get fixed with BIOS update, or do I just have to live without the EuP power saving support (I mean, if it saves sooo much energy that it even cuts the cmos battery off its tiny load... j/k).

Hi,

I also have all the problems you've described here. Thanks for your help. I was starting to think I had a bad motherboard. I seem to have this problem with BIOS versions F2, F5 and F6.

I read this thread last night and I was not able to test the "solution" for this problem (disable EuP), but I will give it a try when I get back home today.

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

Got reply from Gigabyte:

This is a known issue. We are waiting for a BIOS fix for this problem. I come back to you as soon as the new BIOS is ready.

Best regards
GIGABYTE-team Scandinavia

So hope is around the corner I guess

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

Good to hear :)! I hope it will be released soon.

There is also a new test BIOS which was released by the admin of the German Gigabyte forum today and which fixes the problem with the Logitech G19 and some laser mices (but I don't think the problem in this thread has been fixed with it).

[Lsdmeasap]

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

Hopefully I will get a beta BIOS for you guys this week sometime. It must be caused by certain hardware is all I can think of because it works fine when I test it.

I'll keep you posted as soon as I hear anything

Re: X58A-UD7 settings reset after shutdown from Win7

I have this same issue

I have replaced the motherboard once and tested with completely different CPUs and Power supplies.

I have been testing this constantly for a month now, with all bios versions. I strongly suspect it to be a bios issue that is fixable with bios changes.

Symptoms: on a rig that is either stock OR overclocked (AND must be stable 24 hours linx/prime/memtest)

- random eg 1 in 10 cold or warm boot failure (resets to c1 code on LED) during post, resulting in red generic "overclocking failed" message

- occurs despite operating system stability

- appears independent of overvolt/undervolt (2 motherboards tested)

- all temperatures normal

for the record I use razer lycosa keyboard and razer deathaddermouse, if that is relevent.

In my opinion the pre-post checks related to voltages or something seem to be bugging or to be too strict and can be relaxed a bit.

this issue also occurs on auto or manual timing/voltages

I am very keen to hear from bios programmers and I can clarify and provide extensive information on this issue

kind regards,

Tim, Australia
