Why don't you have access to the bios??I dont have acess to the BIOS..
Plus the cpu is cold on first boot
From your specs.
I have no idea why a computer built from scratch would block you from the bios.Other Info This Computer was built from scratch
I think he means that the PC does not stay on long enough to get into, or do anything with, the BIOS Jack.
I should have remembered that when I made the statement. That makes things more difficult to diagnose.
amoretan: Do you recall installing the CPU and heat sink?
Are you sure it was done properly? (Just a question!)
What did you use for thermal compound?
Hi...
I used the thermal compound that came with the Fan I bought which is a very good one, I spent like one year with the cpu stock fan , then I bought this one to lower temps a lot more, it was sucessfull, This mobo and cpu are exactly 2 years and eleven months old. It worked flawlessly until this isuue..I recently checked for cpu placement and it is all fine..
Thanks a lot
Do you still have the new power supply installed?
Another thing that I have only seen twice, is the power button or it's harness on the case. If their is a short it will reboot at times.
The last option I can think of is build the system outside the case.
You will have to use a small screw driver to jump the two pins to start the system.
Some of the new power supplies will cycle if for what ever reason the power supply senses a short any place in the system. It doesn't take much of a power to ground short.
Hello people... I did everything as suggested and nothing. Same boot loop. This motherboard is famous for having this booting loop issue. My mobo Rev. is 1.3. and I updated to Bios version F12 long time ago. Never had the issue.
I remember that I started this thread because I wanted to be informed in case the boot loop happened to me.
Advices to avoid the dreaded boot loop on GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
Today I followed advices from that thread and nothing...
I cannot believe this.... I cannot even find the same mobo online...
Thanks
Ok, Maybe but I want to keep compatibility with my Ram memory, ...
I wanted to get the same Mobo because I wanted to keep all my software and OS configuration, which is huge, ....
I dont know if I am going to be able to restore an image to a new mobo... you know what I mean? Is that possible? maybe with Universal Restore from True Image ??
please tell me how can I get a mobo which supports sandy bridge and is also compatible with my Ram...
To my knowledge , Ram is very difficult to find compatibility with..
Thanks a lot
Maybe you won't have to: Make Windows 7 bootable after motherboard swap
Thank you Gokay. I will check that later. Could anybody direct me to a mobo that is copatible with my memory and cpu.. I have no idea how to look for that... thanks..
