Hey.
I have been having an issue the last few days with my motherboard ( After mounting a new CPU cooler and RAM ) and my computer not booting up correctly. Last time I tested it started up, all fans working and then shuts itself down after a few sec ( 1-2 sec )
I have noticed right before it shuts itself down, the 'SB voltage' led is flashing red for a split second, then the PC starts itself up after a few sec into an infinitive loop of what I just described.
Also something to notice is that I had some RAM issues before this happened, and had to ajust some voltage in the BIOS. I have of course tried to reset the CMOS, without success. I'm not 100% sure I managed to reset the CMOS tho, but I have tried pressing the 'clr CMOS' button on the side of the motherboard, also removing the battery for over one min and putting it back in. Something that hit me is that maybe the battery is flat, but I doubt it since this happened exactly the reboot after I mounted my CPU cooler and new RAM. I also hear no sound from the motherboard speakers ( If there is any, I can't locate them but I swear I've heard bootup beeps before.
I'm not sure what to do anymore. I would like to test the motherboard to be 100% sure it's causing the problem, but I'm not sure how to proceed with it.
Anyone knows any way of testing it?
The motherboard is:
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R, X58
Other specs
I7 930 unclocked
ATi Raedon HD 5970 black edition
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333MHz 6GB CL9 x2 (12GB total )
Chieftec Super Series 750W PSU
