GA-EX58-UD5 FAILS TO BOOT
System:
motherboard: GA-EX58-UD5 cpu: i7 920 heatsink: stock (the one that came with the i7 920) memory: Crucial XMS DDR3 1600 6 GB (placed in 1, 3, and 5 as requested) video: EVGA GTX 260 hard drives: 2 1TB Seagate Baracuda RAID 0 (but didnt get to set it up yet) PC turns on for about 10 seconds... board comes up with error code 76. Shuts down. BIOS comes up but have a few seconds before PC shuts off. So far I've reset cmos, tried each ram module 1 at a time, and unconnected everything but cpu, heatsink, ram, and video card. Same problem. Can anyone help me? |

Same problem. Can anyone help me? I downloaded the manual for your motherboard. Apparently it uses an Award BIOS, and there is a table in the manual, with the POST codes shown. The POST codes are "progress" codes, rather than "error" codes. The POST value indicates the current routine which has just started to execute. Knowing the value, we're supposed to assume the motherboard got stuck in the identified routine. As is usual with these things, the value 76 hex is not documented! But using the text string for 75 hex in the manual, and doing a Google search, I dug up a manual for another product with an Award BIOS. http://www.globalamericaninc.com/manuals/3307540.pdf 75h Detect & install all IDE devices: HDD, LS120, ZIP, CDROM….. 76h (Optional Feature) Enter AWDFLASH.EXE if: -AWDFLASH.EXE is found in floppy drive. -ALT+F2 is pressed. 77h Detect serial ports & parallel ports. 78h Reserved 79h Reserved 7Ah Detect & install co-processor You'll notice, that 75, 77, and 7A are consistent with your Gigabyte manual. So the value for 76 may be consistent as well. Now, that being said, I don't know how to interpret the result. It suggests the BIOS is entering AWDFLASH (named Q-Flash on your system?) for some reason ? Have you been pressing any keys defined in section 2-1 of the manual ? Paul |
