Hello
recently I received an old Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3 as gift from a friend that buy old unsold electronic stocks.
I mounted on a full working Intel Q6700 and a ddr2 Stick (samsung M378T5663QZ3 2gb pc6400)
Also I connected to the mainboard a sata dvd-rw and a 1GB-WD BLUE (new), a odl full working nvidia gt610, a 580W PSU, then I tried to turn on all the system.
Immediately I'm having a problem with bootup with this motherboard.
Once turned on the system all seems to run correctly (the six phase-leds turned on, the fans start running, the dvd-rw turned on, and the same is for the HDD....but just after 4/5 seconds, before displaying the POST screen, the system automatically turned off and then reboot after 1 or 2 seconds pause, so all the components turned on again but after 4/5 seconds the system reboot again.....it's a looping reboot that make me crazy.
I tryed to search the solution on the web but I can't succeed.
I tryed to uninstall and reinstall all the components step by step, to change the ram slot, to uninstall and reinstall the F/P connectors and the FAN connectors, but it seems there's nothing to do...I can't fix the problem..... really I can't understand what's wrong.
I tried to find more information about what the phase led lights mean but I couldn't find some user guide. The first couple of leds are green, the second couple is orange and the third couple of leds is red. I have no clue what that combination means....
As I said my search on the web have been useless and now I hope to find here some Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3 owner much expert than me who will really help me to fix the problem.
