Gigabyte z77x-d3h not consistently posting

blackjackedy · May 24, 2013

A few months back I bought a z77x-d3h rev 1.1 for my 2500k.

It does what it should but if I change any of the cpu multis in bios it will often boot with a black screen and reboot itself a few times, then come with a uefi dual bios screen, reboot, the correctly post from there.

It once recommended that it reset itself to factory settings, which I assumed would fix the problem. As soon as I changed even the turbo multi by 1, the issue started to appear again.

I'm unsure if its a configuration thing or a faulty board, and I want to work it out before I try an RMA and having to pay shipping if its not faulty .-.

Set "optimized defaults" in the BIOS. You might have to go thru the BIOS afterwards and tweak your memory or whatever afterwards. Do you have any of the gigabyte utilities installed. If you do, un-install them. Check gigabyte to see if there is BIOS update as well as updates for your drivers too.

If you are OC'ing you may have to increase the voltages some too. OC'ing is a hit & miss game until you get a stable OC.

Forgot I made this thread but a turbo boost increase of 1 multi should definitely not cause it to post inconsistently due to lack of voltage.

The problem is that if any of the cpus multis are changed what so ever, it starts being inconsistent even if its reset to optimised defaults first.

i was going to contact the store I bought it form but I'm not sure if ocing voids the warranty on gigabyte boards

If you are increasing the multiplier, it never hurts to increase the voltage some. It actually helps. Even if you are just running default settings.

What DRAM do you have? If of a higher freq than 1600 it may not be set up right and trying to OC can throw things. If you could post your primary settings in the BIOS might help alot

I have a 2x4GB kit of Kingston value ram at 1333Mhz and 1.5v

Is there a way to export the settings as a screenshot within the bios?

Tradesman1 · Jun 11, 2013

Yep, turn system off, insert a flash drive, boot into BIOS, then whenever on a screen you want a copy of hit the F12 key - should tell you an image has been saved to the flash 9most all of the newer mobos support this....if not there's always grab a digital camera and take photos

You can save all your BIOS settings. Look for the option to save CMOS to BIOS at the main screen. I usually save several different settings when I am looking for a stable setting, usually by date and/or time. That way I can always go right to those settings without having to go thru all the pages of the BIOS again. Great tool for OCing too.
