[Please read entire post before replying as i have tried many things already]
Hi, i have been having an issue for a while now with my pc. sometimes it "blue screens" on me, does not give me time to read anything on it, and on startup it POSTs 2 long 1 short... cannot find that POST code anywhere on gigabytes support and they are no help at all(I dont think they know whats wrong)... i am suspecting it is indeed the motherboard cuz it happens when i have more than one stick of ram in, but all the knowledge i have is from personal experience, so i dont know the technical hardware stuff. i have gone through a few sticks of different brands now. But i can use any one stick in any slot i choose.. if i have more than one stick in, it POST's with 2 long 1 short, that's two, 2 second beeps, and one, 1 second beep(yes i stopped watched them) if i keep just one in, it boots fine most of the time but it will randomly... and i mean randomly out of no where blue screen and beep at me till i take the ram out, and put it back, along with unplugging the 24 pin power from the motherboard and reconnecting it after doing both of those things it usually runs fine for weeks...i know im baffled... i tested with memtest on all ram sticks they are all ok. timing and voltage is correct, i changed cpu's, graphics card and power supply since then and it still happening though it took it months to do it after i upgraded i thought it was gone, i even got so fed up with it before i posted this that i started wiggling wires to see if any of them was causing it, nothing happened not even a restart. i honestly dont know why im posting this my motherboards probably damaged somewhere.. this is my last resort.. is my GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3 rev 2.0 broken? do i need to invest in a new mobo? cuz this one still runs most new games very smoothly on high... i just cant put more RAM IN! any info is greatly appreciated.
