Just upgraded a pc..its a Gigabyte GA EP45 mobo, intel core 2 duo cpu and
XP.
When it boots up it seems to go through part of the sequence twice....
This is what happens when it boots:-
Beep
Gigabyte display (where one can tab for Post or esc for enter Bios etc)
black screen
Beep
Gigabyte screen again (where one can tab for Post or esc for enter Bios etc)
list of text
then Windows sequence
and finally all ok after 1.5 mins
any ideas why it should pull up the Gigabyte screen twice?
wonder if its to do with the motherboard, cpu or Operating system?
Something seems wrong in your bios settings. It invites you.
I expered with ma78gms2h that I had warning for cpu fan set in bios
and also smartfan control enabled. Since CPU is cold by start, cpu fan
is not needing to rotate, so I had to disable cpu fan warning.
It is more likely some ram setting that is your problem. Maybe raise
voltage a little, + 0.1 volt or 0.2 on ram. Ctrl F1 can give the
needed menu for it.
Then save the bios.
