 |
|
Hi, I have a very strange problem. My setup is an E4300, GA-965P-DQ6,
Leadtek PX7950GT 512, 2Gb of Corsair XMS2 ram (800/6400 and 5-5-5-12
timings) with a 500W PSU. If I alter the FSB or PCI-E speed at all,
even if I do not change it from default (200 and 100 respectively),
when I save the changes and reboot the computer does a reboot cycle
and resets both of those settings back to default (managed by bios). I
can lower the multiplier to 6x and I can still not even set the FSB to
it's own default without it being reset. I have tried clearing the
CMOS, and it didn't help. Some other people have had issues with
getting a high overclock without increasing voltages, but understand
that I can not even manually set the default settings without it
resetting. I have run Orthos blend and small FFT both overnight
without issues, and I can use CIA2 to get to 2200 or so and it is
stable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did *try* to talk to Gigabyte
about this through their global support interface, but the response I
got back was basically "I don't know", but in 500 words which try to
blame my ram. Given that I can't set _default_ speeds I think it's
clearly a BIOS bug, and I am running the F9 BIOS which is the latest
and only one on their site. It is rev 3.3, if that matters. |

Upon further inspection it appears that my PSU is not giving any power
on the 12V - I assume that is the cause?
If there was absolutely no +12V, it wouldn't boot.
If the power supply was weak, then maybe anything demanding a
little more power, might cause the PSU to switch off.
So the question is, how did you determine it is not giving any
power on +12V, and under what conditions ? Did you check the +12V
on the main connector, the +12V on the 2x2 connector, the +12V on a
Molex drive connector ?
Paul
The 2x2 is what I am referring to (plugs in to the mobo) - according
to SpeedFan it fluctuates between 0.1 and 0.5. I checked on my AMD
system with speedfan and it's getting 12 - 12.5, with an antec 350w.
The power supply in question is a G3G (some generic brand) 500W.
|
I looked around some more and it appears that speedfan has problems
getting good readings with 965 boards. Back to square one. |

Try leaving the BIOS alone, and use Clockgen to overclock. Your
motherboard is mentioned here, as being supported. Once overclocked
in Windows, load up with Prime95, to see if there are any power
issues. This may turn out to be a BIOS issue with E4300, you
never know.

I have solved this issue - replacing the Leadtek 7950GT with a
Powercolor X1950 Pro fixed it completely. Running at a modest 2.6ghz
now. Wont be buying any Gigabyte mobos again. |

Hi, I have a very strange problem. My setup is an E4300, GA-965P-DQ6,
Leadtek PX7950GT 512, 2Gb of Corsair XMS2 ram (800/6400 and 5-5-5-12
timings) with a 500W PSU. If I alter the FSB or PCI-E speed at all,
even if I do not change it from default (200 and 100 respectively),
when I save the changes and reboot the computer does a reboot cycle
and resets both of those settings back to default (managed by bios). I
can lower the multiplier to 6x and I can still not even set the FSB to
it's own default without it being reset. I have tried clearing the
CMOS, and it didn't help. Some other people have had issues with
getting a high overclock without increasing voltages, but understand
that I can not even manually set the default settings without it
resetting. I have run Orthos blend and small FFT both overnight
without issues, and I can use CIA2 to get to 2200 or so and it is
stable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did *try* to talk to Gigabyte
about this through their global support interface, but the response I
got back was basically "I don't know", but in 500 words which try to
blame my ram. Given that I can't set _default_ speeds I think it's
clearly a BIOS bug, and I am running the F9 BIOS which is the latest
and only one on their site. It is rev 3.3, if that matters.
I have solved this issue - replacing the Leadtek 7950GT with a
Powercolor X1950 Pro fixed it completely. Running at a modest 2.6ghz
now. Wont be buying any Gigabyte mobos again.
How is the video card, a motherboard problem?.... |
The DQ6, is about as good as it gets at the moment. I doubt if you will
find any other board of a similar spec, with fewer problems...

There is nothing wrong with the 7950GT. It is a compatibility issue
with the motherboard. Video cards are not made with motherboards in
mind, it's the other way around.
This person has the same problem with a DS3P:

Again, the 7950GT has absolutely no issues in another computer. |

The reason I suspect that at least part of the problem may be the video
card, is that there have been a _lot_ of problems with Leadtek cards in
other boards as well. Try looking at the Tyan groups for example. Now I
have four DQ6's, running with Asus 7950GT cards, with no problems, and a
couple running with their 8800GTX's, again without a problem....
I threw away the last Leadtek card I bought, after it would not work in
three motherboards (one Asus, one Gigabyte, and one from MSI).
