HI Guys,
I bought AMD 8320 and Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 a month back struggling with few issues in finishing it.
2/8 GB Ballistix RAM
{First bought AS Rock Mother board and checked with company and they said it wont support my CPU, so ended up with GB MB}.
new to this site and also building system so forgive me for ignorance.
Looked at GB site it is mentioned there that to update the BIOS - so flashed it to F2 version - it had F1 before.
I am using PSU 500 W - Eagle that has 4/12 V not sure if this is the issue.
I have a 2 TB Sata Hard disk Windows 7 ultimate already installed from my previous system.
System passes the BIOS but as soon as I get the Windows logo it start rebooting.
I also tried with 1/8 GB memory card same issue [ also borrowed a 4 GB stick but issue is same].
Looking for some guidance - any help is much appreciated.

More about : amd 8320 system boot
ulan the issue is windows is trying to start and run drivers from your older motherboard. on your build now boot into safe mode and under device managers remove all of the devices and try getting windows to boot. if it gets in have the mb cd or a usb stick ready with the mb chipset drivers and sound and ethernet drivers. if windows still crashes try setting the sata ports to ide if you had the drive set up that way. going from achi mode to ide or ide to achi mode will cause windows to fail at post too.

I don't see safe mode option - I only see repair windows option.
Also why the Windows use my CD - I set the boot priority to CD drive as first option

booting from the windows cd most people tun it to wipe the data off the old drive and start fresh. take the cd out of the drive at power up hit f8. I am able to go to the safe mode options screen with F8 - but when I select safe mode it is loading buch of file but restarting.
Do I need to do "Eanable Boot Logging"

yes, but I also put a CD to boot it again from the CD drive it does not boot from there. The CD i created from down loaded iso file
in bios choose boot from the actual dvd drive otherwise it will not read anything there and just try to boot windows
look under boot priority and choose dvd
it then should prompt you to hit a certain key to start up once you close the bios

I already know your problem. I have a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 and you didn't update the BIOS to the proper revision. The GA-990FXA-UD3 needs BIOS number F9 in order to properly support the Vishera-based Piledriver CPUs. Flash your BIOS to F9 and you should have no further difficulty.I re-installed windows ultimate - and it worked for 2 days now I see that it is starting just the power - the fan slowly runs first and then run faster and shuts down.
the BIOS from Gigabyte Bios downloads does not have F9 - for this MB board I only see F2. Also it is not even goin to that option I am not seeing any thing on the screen.
any help please..

Yes it supports the CPU http://www.gigabyte.us/support-downloads/cpu-support-po... Doubt that it is temp issues worked for 2 days you said. Guessing the eagle PSU is getting tired.

A 500watt+ quality PSU from somebody like Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, Enermax, XFX to name few and we have eliminated the big question mark the Eagle 500watt with 4 x +12 volt rails.I got Corsair PSU 600 W - system started well but was updating windows defender
then it made cranky noise and no display - not sure if the graphics card is gone this time?? any Idea .The system seem running fine - it did not stop.
But I stopped forcefully [pressed power button] and then it restarts again the fan starts slowly and the CPU fan runs fast and shuts down .
nothing on the display. Any idea what could be the issue?

Standoffs screw into the motherboard tray to mount the motherboard with a gap from the tray so all those soldering points are not touching metal. Item 3 in here http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-ste... by the way you might as well go through that step by step.

Not sure if that caused all these issues.
The case has standoffs and there is a gap between the MB and the case. Standoffs came with the case.

Good nothing else touching the board from the metal parts of the case? Carpet just means that you will have to be extra careful with static electricity and always touch the metal parts of the case before touching any hardware.Any idea what could be the problem? do I need to try with a new Graphics card?
it short happens - is mother board usable?
The crank noise I heard could be from the Graphics card right?

I really do not know, can be GPU and the sound could have come from there. Short would most likely damage the board if the PSU stays on but most would shut down because of built in short protection.The GPU [Graphics processing unit] you mean here is from the graphics card? or it is on the Mother board?

on the motherboard did you make sure the 8 pin atx cpu power plug is plugged in??yes, I got a new power supply Corsair that has 8 pin CPU power supply.
Yesterday when I switched on the system did boot well firstly. but while installing the updates - it gave cranky noise and display is gone.
So I tested today with new Graphics card all fans are running inclusing the one on the GPU [ Graphics card] but no display.
One more thing the Mouse light [optical mouse] I can see but key board is not powering up. no lights on keyboard.. [ I tested keyboard and mouse on other system they are working fine]

Odd as it sounds try using another known working display, I have seen crazier things happen. Are you able to boot into the BIOS and keep the system up as long as you want ?? Try running some CPU/Memory/Hard drive diagnostics from a downloadable ISO diagnostic disc called "Ultimate boot CD" This CD will allow you to bypass windows and boot these tests directly off of the disc. here is a link to the UBCD download http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html These tests should isolate your issue with a failure. I am thinking your hard drive may be at fault but there is no sense in speculating until the tests have been run.

I am not seeing any thing on the display. not able to boot to the BIOS either. I am not sure can this be the MB itself?

Board is what I am thinking.rolli59,
it took some time for me to see where was my last questions posted -
I bought AMD 8320 and Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 mother board and struggling with few issues in assembling ...
When I tried it before , end of last year, some thing went wrong , I could not finish it - so I had to wait few moths to buy new parts: Mother board and GPU and PSU are new.
Here is what I have now:
AMD 8320, Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3, 2/8 GB Ballistix RAM
ASUS HD 6450 GPU, COrSAIR PSU 600 W
I have a 2 TB Sata Hard disk - Windows 7 ultimate already installed from my previous system assembly - with same type of mother board (I mean same brand and version) but different GPU.
received Gigabyte screen and after few seconds message: windows did not shutdown properly message and one of the options was to continue with windows and selected that
But nothing happens no display after that.
I also tried with 1/8 GB memory card same issue - no display at all
Looking for some guidance - any help is much appreciated.
Looked at GB site it is mentioned there that to update the BIOS
- I have not flashed new version yet From the site I see that I should use 99FXAUD3. "F9"
Before flashing I want to confirm this too.
But to flash the new version first I have to get to the Screen..
