Hi everyone, my system specs are as follows:
AMD 8350
16 GB (8x2) Corsair Vengeance Ram
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 and UD5 (I have tried both and have had the same problem which will be described below)
Seasonic 660w Platinum PSU
Samsung 840 evo 250gb
Sapphire 7970
Corsair C70 case
I have been having an issue when trying to do get set up for a mild overclock on this system. When I go into the Bios settings and disable Core Performance Boost and Enable CPU Unlock the computer does a weird on-off-on cycle every time I start it up. It does this without the system being overclocked, just with those two settings changed. After it goes on-off-on, the system functions normally and can even hold stable at 4.4 GHZ (again this problem happens regardless of the system being overclocked).
According to Gigabyte customer support this isn't normal, but we have been unable to come up with a solution. It has done this with both a Rev 3 UD3 and a Rev 3 UD5.
Resetting the system to default settings will make the computer turn on normally with no cycle.
Any help or insight would be appreciated on this.
Thanks.
