Okay friends its been quite a while since I last posted here and you guys helped me get an E8400 to some insane speeds on this motherboard, to be honest, this is going to be my last resort for getting this board up and running because every time no one else would help or could give me a solution this forum has ALWAYS come through for me when I needed it most. I ask very sincerely for your help again. Now it seems I am having very bad difficulties. I traded a guy my E8400 for a q6600 and thats where all the troubles began. I got the chip and as soon as I put it in my PC I reset the cmos and pushed the power button. I immediately got the endless post reboot. So I acquired another q6600, yet again, the same circumstances, I put it in, reset the cmos values, and pushed the power button only to see the exact same thing. So after much trial and error I put in a p4 530, and it booted and ran fine. It was just as if nothing was astray. So I took the p4 out, reset cmos again and tried the original q6600, then tried the second q6600 again, then I tried to reset the cmos and try an e7200 dual core, and even the 7200 duallie does the boot loop. I Have the following parts to work with as far as troubleshooting goes.
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R rev1.1 (bios f11) (watercooled cpu, nb, and vregs)
2x2GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066
MSI GTX275
and the following CPU's
2x q6600 SLACR G0's
1x e7200
1x Pentium 4 530
1x Celeron D 356 (engineering sample if it matters)
Please keep in mind I had a friend of mine run memtest for 24hrs on each stick of ram for me and they both check out fine.
I also saw how gigabyte released a new bios rev f12 that helps with 2gb sticks in the yellow slots. As soon as i read this i reset cmos took out 1 stick of ram, then moved the other to the red slot, no help at all.
