Re:It could be a grounding issue, but most of the time, the screen wouldn't even turn off., Be sure that all mounts/holes have a screw in them and is nice and tight to the case. This may not fix the issue, but could prevent other issues.
Re:Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
You may be right about a mixup in the dmi/irq settings, however , i flashed the bios with a new rom (thats FB for the rev 2.0) and selected the "clear DMI pool" option to go with the flash, also afterwards i cleared the CMOS and loaded optimized defaults. Then everything seems ok until i reboot a few times.
Furthermore if there is a conflict in the IRQ resources assigments then surely windows device manager should indicate this, and i never saw anthing of the sort.
So i'm guessing there is something wrong with either the mobo, Bios or Battery. but im not sure which one it is. One other thing i noticed was the strange mounting holes layout of the mobo. When installed , the bottom part (thats where the SATA connectors are) bends when installing cables and memory and stuff . So perhaps because of this one of the circuits on the pcb is damaged. But im not sure , cus if there was, probably the whole mobo wouldnt work.
Re:This sounds like a motherboard problem. You might want to see if there is any bios updates for it, and if not, check with Gigabyte and see if they have a lot of these problems. Maybe the dmi is working right because of IRQ's i can not really tell. You may have PCI/AGP/PCIe cards plugged in and taking up other devices irq/dmi settings.
Re:Hello guy,
I hope you're still recieving messages from this thread, cus i've got similar problems as described in your thread…
I'll start at the beginning. Recently i assembled a new system composed of :
Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 (Rev 2.0)
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ X2 "EE" (windsor core)
MSI NX7300GT
Mushkin EM-PC6400 DDR2 (2×512)
Samsung 160 GB SATA (RAID0)
I installed all the components in the case and connected everything. Then I pushed the power button and immediatly got an error message ( something to do with the processor), but it booted , jippy. I installed windows and noticed every reboot was accompanied with POST beep codes (two beeps , mobo error) . So i rechecked every plug and confirmed everything was connected properly. Everything worked but….
Every now and then there were sudden shut downs, building DMI pool data……..Flash Rom protected messages and POST beep codes. I was considering sending the mobo off for RMA, but i wanted to try one last thing : Clearing the CMOS. So i did this , and like magic all problems were solved . Atleast i thought so.
Later on i noticed one of the IDE HDD's had crashed and i had to recover all the lost data. No biggy, the drive still worked and i got my data back and subsequently reformatted the drive. But then was something strange going on. In the bootup screen it said my IDE drive was classified as LRG instead of LBA. (never heard of this , but what the heck it worked) Also every reboot was accompanied with a "verifying DMI pool data …………..Update success !" message. now this is strange considering i had not changed anything in the hardware configuration. So i thought maybe the drive is defect and i unplugged the IDE cable to see if this would change anything . Well , without counting the first reboot, it seemed the problem was solved, but then the "Builing DMI pool…………Flash rom protected" message resurfaced again.
So i set out to find the some more info on the subject and landed in this thread. All these errors are driving me crazy and i was wondering i you could help me to some more information on the probable causes, or how you solved your situation.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
