GA-X58A-UD3R Rev2.0 Reboots TWICE and powers itself off??

[gabrielito3500]

i have the same MB, "i solved" tripple channel no works, just Dual channel, :-(

[Braaienator5000]

I know this is a old post but its quite obvious whats wrong. If you would just read what the bios is telling you. It was a problem with the settings in the bios. I wont go into detail because you probably already fixed it or RMA'd it. I myself just got this board as my gigabyte X58 USB3 was damaged by my pet.lol

[MisterRuneex]

Wtf?

I haven't got any problems with mine :o

The exact same card

[FroGfanG]

can you tell me the dimensions of the cpu cooler?

[djlmeister]

My GA-X58A-UD3R had the same issue. I had Sli 570 setup. After a while however it will not boot up anymore.They replaced the mother board, and the 2nd one did it again... I had the Shop replace the Mother Board with an Asus Rampage 3 Extreme.

All Seems fine now ! i had to pay in the difference in price though. But Sabreooth will also fix this problem at same price...

[LightBringerize]

it might be the power supply or motherboard

[dangolo]

@LightBringerize same power supply worked great with the Asus board.

[LightBringerize]

@dangolo but did you use same: cpu, gpu ram and chipsets and hdd?

[dangolo]

@LightBringerize same cpu (i7 970), same gpu (quadro 580), same HDD (Samsung Spinpoint F3).

[LightBringerize]

@dangolo try powering ur system up with a different power supply (higher wattage, make sure u get good one not some shitty for 30$, try corsair, coolermaster, enermax, thermaltake

[dangolo]

@LightBringerize PSU is a Seasonic SS-850HT, retails for about $120, has 0 negative reviews, is more than adequate for this system, and I have 4 of them feeding the Asus Sabertooth X58 workstations without a single hiccup. Suffice to say, the PSU is innocent.

[LightBringerize]

@dangolo yh PSU sounds good, try using a different one tho, Enermax in my opinion is the best, very silent, easy installation, doesn`t produces as much heat as others do

[Northisbest]

LOL I have 2 different brand GIGABYTE mobo both do stop for few seconds and fan running again and working all day fine and been already over 12 months. I know it freak me out big time...

[FullmetalBallsack]

Same thing happens to mines too. Powers off then on, the sometimes again a second time and my overclock buggers up so I have to reload the OC profile back up. O_o

[mupet00000]

I have the rev 1.0 of this board and sometimes when it posts it will shut off and turn back on within a few seconds. It always does this if I change voltage settings but that is understandable. What I don't understand is why it does this sometimes when I just power on normally and have not changed any settings.

fxgf

[artccie]

some engineer was drinking late one night and goofed on the design of Channel A.......others claim CPU is too tightly held against mobo, Im leaning towards a real engineering fault in the design...please comment....

[dangolo]

@artccie I feel like a design flaw would be more visible on online reviews since so many people have the Gigabyte board. Most likely, I got a bad batch of boards. The ram I was using was on their QVL, and the symptoms remained even with just 1 stick.

[artccie]

solution|: However, if you place them in channel B slot 3 and channel C slot 5 all your problems are gone......(two white slots farthest away from cpu) The rig is stable in this setup...but you lose out on the 3 channel capability........I believe that you will have to use the memory that is recommended..

[artccie]

Ok this was driving me crazy tooo....it has something to do with memory incompatibility...if you go the gigabyte home page and look up the board, it will have a pull down menu showing the compatible memory.... Solution. I have two 4gig gskill rip jaw 1333 memory sticks....If you put two of this sticks on the Channel A slot 1 and channel B slot 3 ...you will get the reboots along with recovering dram error and half the memory showing up only.

[Freezsocks]

If you have found it out, could u tell me what it is? Same thing happends to mine :o

[dangolo]

@Freezsocks i ended up RMA'ing both the motherboard AND the ram. I coudn't get a single or pair of sticks to work in these. Instead of getting it replaced, i exchanged the mobo for a Asus Sabretooth. i have had 0 problems with them =)

[YamiPoyo]

@dangolo Same here, I hate this motherboard, mine also made squeeling nosies so i went with Asus x58 sabertooth.

On a side note, Thats an i7 980 or up right? that fan is a giveaway lol.

Good cpu how much ram was that 24gigs? was the bios and windows reading all 24gigs?

[dangolo]

@YamiPoyo Close! i7 970 with 12GB triple channel ram. It was reading all 12, but the Gigabyte board had so many bugs and quirks that I deemed it "too unstable for an enterprise production environment".

[YamiPoyo]

@dangolo Mine was bad too, Squeeling noises from the cpu or chipsets, black screen sata crashes, and then it would not boot without a legacy keyboard to click some options when it said over voltage.

[dangolo]

@Freezsocks I was doing this for an IT project for our design engineers who needed beastly machines, and I had to return the boards after 3 days because nothing I tried worked. A firmware update may have addressed this by now, but since I RMA'd them in November 2010...sorry bro =|

[SMRDcompany]

Hi mate did you set all settings in AUTO for bios? if not, it may be OC'ing ur PC on deafult.

[dangolo]

@SMRDcompany i tried updating the bios and resetting it to factory defaults, i tried every combination of memory i could think of, i actually READ the manual, ugh i tried everything on this stupid mobo.

[theangelswithwings]

psu

[dangolo]

@theangelswithwings i had 5 of the same psu in that same batch order, and i swapped one out for kicks. it did nothing. The asus sabretooth i exchanged this mobo for didn't do the double shutoff thing

[asus3571]

kinda funny if i dint get my rig for the price of rma i would care my x58aud3r does that i get lights that click on an off but no power down needed it just boots funny

[TheCoCkTa1l]

Lucky you! My'n wont even boot!

[BustardAMD]

I liked the part when it rebooted and then rebooted again! 

[lyubomir1111]

mine wont show the screen

[asus3571]

you ever find out what the prob is if not i think its a bios issue what version ru on it looks like your running a 980x? that board has prob w/ that cpu and certain bios versions i have a ud3r with a 920 runs great even coming back from gigabyte as an rma
