When i turn on the PC its comes up With "Award Bios Detecting IDE Drives" also the cpu fan makes little attempt to spin but will just move a inch and gives up woddling on its bearings
(like muscle spasms)then the whole pc the turns off and then powers on again and it will just keep going
Tryed putting my brothers PSU and the cpu fan sometimes will spin up and go but the pc still shuts off
and does the cycle again
Also tryed cpu fan on his mobo and it spins
System Specs Below
Case: Thermaltake Armor
PSU: Thermaltake Tough Power 750W
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 ''Rev 1.1''
CPU: Intel C2D E6750 ( Using Box Fan )
RAM: Corsair XMS2 DDR2 CM2X1024-6400C4 800Mhz 2 1GB Ram Modules
GPU: XFX Geforce 8800 Ultra
Drives: 4x 'Segate Barracuda 320GB'
Floppy Drive
Sony DVD +/-R Drive
i already RMA'd my previous DQ6 Rev 1.0
even have a E6600 here and tryed that. same thing
Odd indeed.
Try isolating it down to the mobo only, take out EVERYTHING exept cpu.
See what happens then if still no joy, could be a mobo issue.
Sometimes u need more ram voltage. Can u get into bios?
Also read ur mobo manual. There may be jumpers and stuff IDE vs SATA type thing.
@mrmez was bench teseting it before this the way you said and yere same things happens
@tlmck Just got one from a old pc pluged it in no beep codes what so ever just the same boot cycle stuff
on a side note the Post Screen That I get Has No picture labels of the award, or energy star, its just thoose words i stated before it looks kinda blank? is it normal for it not to show them if somethings not working?
and no can't get into the bios either
Sorry i didn't post back i did get it working it was a mix of power problems and having both ram sticks in
However[b][/b]after i got i working everything setup and was even enjoying the Ut3 Demo
My big Bro comes in saying i should put the second stick in i was like na i didn't really need it i was all happy but he said it would be a waste if i didn't .... Well he did it anyway
(but the 2nd ram was causing the problems tryed it even on different voltages .not going to high off corse )
Now No Matter Weather i have 1 or both rams sticks in the pc now will beep and instatnly turn off and boot cyle and keep instanly beeping and turning off ....
Now Im Wondering Will Reseting The Bios Kill My Raid 0+1 Array?
if so would there be away to Fake anew array and put the disks when its off in before boot and it willl be like nothing happend?
coss i really cringe on having to install all that crap Again! took days
No, resetting the BIOS will not hurt the array, you will just have to reset the proper settings in the BIOS.

Got Time Out Of my busy schedule to take a another crack at it.
and after reseting The bios i get Pretty much the same thing
excpet now theres no signal from the graphics card to the monitor and no beeping either still turns off instantly
basicly back to step one but worse don't even get a screen , Tryed single stick and both sticks same thing
Donno what to do now.
Only the obvious can come to mind here. You are using the 4+4-pin 12V power connected to the mobo right... not just the main atx cable? Also you should have 2 pcie power connecters from the PSU (not a molex splitter) to that 8800 ultra. I imagine 1 pcie power to the 8800 utra is actually enough but you can never be too careful in situations of weirdness.

Hey guys i'm having a very simular problem, i have....
GA P35 DQ6

CORSAIR PC8500 C5D 2 X 1024
GIGA 8800GTS 640MB
COOLERMASTER 600W PSU
It will make a beep once then reset and continue to do so, sometimes if i turn everything off and unplug psu it will switch on the following morning but it will beep once reset and then load up. if i shutdown and then try to reboot 10 - 15 mins later the probs start all over again.
I have a GA-P35-DQ6 and it seems I have the same problem.
Q6600 Kentsfield @3.0Ghz
Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 Motherboard
2GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066 Memory

320GB Raid 1 Data
CoolMax 700 watt power supply

Antec 900 MidTower
Occasionally, when I boot, it will beep once and reset, do this twice and then I have to go into bios and reset the CPU buss speed and memory multiplier. Most of the time it works just fine. In other words it is unpredictable.
I got a problem similar, when I start my computer, the memroy test doesn't go through and the computer stops. After severral reboot it's the same deal. I have to remove the RAM and put it back and then the computer will start.
I have played with the BIOS, but I cannot solve this issue... anyone having the same problem ?

Then i changed the cpu fan to a better one and the problem vanished. Strange isnt it.
A power issue on the fan causing the system to crash ?
I have found something very interesting !!! I unplugged my USB printer from my PC and now I don't get the memory test freezing when booting !!! This is very weird, I'll keep you posted on this one

I am pretty sure the problem here is that the P35-DQ6 is a little finicky about memory. I am running a Q6600 at 3.2 GHz on air and my Corsair Dominator memory is specd at DDR2 1066. But, my computer will not boot reliably 100% of the time when overclocking unless I set the memory in bios as DDR2 800. In fact, I can't clock past 3 GHz at all unless I under-clock the memory.
Hi I have my GA-P35-DQ6 with 4GB(4x1gb) DDR2 XMS2 (cm2x1024-6400)
but but My computer is not recognizing all the memory ... Pulled out one by one and tried the modules, the module DDR2 1, does not recognize the memory ..
Tried the modules DDR2 and when installing the first module does not work. It seems that is off..
The system only recognizes 3Gb (When Turn On - Bios PC and in the Windows VISTA 64 Home Premium) ..
Are you saying that one of your module is like "uncompatible" with your MB ? This is also happening to me with a of my G.Skills 8500HK (I have 4x 1Gb in total), I RMA'ed it and expect to receive a new one in a few days.
For me, this module in particular stopped my PC from booting and the MB mades the 3 beeps indicating that there was a memory problem.

No,, iN THE Board THE First module not reading any memory (CM2X1024-6400 - XMS2 CORSAIR), the module 2,3 and 4 working fine.. Only the 1 not reconized any memory (xms2 -4X1gb).
is it normal for it not to show them if somethings not working?
