System specs:
Gigabyte motherboard Z68-D3H-B3 (Intel socket 1155)
C4 60gb ssd (OS)
WD Black Caviar 650gb HHD
Antec HCG 640m
GTX 560
G Skill 2x2gb 1600
I5 2500k
Windows 7 64bit
So here’s what I’m running into, I was getting BSOD message “A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval” so after reading up on the error I tried two things. First I rebuilt the PC and updated the BIOS (from F5 to F13). After I completed the rebuild and updating the bios I started running to problems were my PC would freeze up on the motherboard flash screen or in the bios themselves. Occasionally it would load into Windows, but would ask me to run Startup Repair which in most cases would freeze up again. I mainly only have my OS on the SSD so I reinstalled Windows 7 (disconnecting the HHD during the install). Once I was able to get Windows to reinstall, updated the drivers, the freezing continued or in some cases the system would just keep rebooting (I would hear the beep, nothing on the screen, than it would reboot again).
I then loaded BIOS version F12 and the same issues kept occurring. So I went to BIOS v. F11 and finally able to get Windows install, drivers updated, anti-virus, all was good. I used the system for about 5 hours no issues. I go to power down at the end of the night and Windows closes, but my case fans continue to run. I don’t think much of it until in the morning and the fans are still running. I manually power down and power it back up and get the message to run Startup Repair. I hit enter and system freezes up again. I use the Windows 7 disc to try and repair through the disc and freezes when loading files.
Any other suggestions I could try? Roll back to a earlier BIOS? Is my motherboard on its way out?
The motherboard still under warranty so hopefully Gigabyte will honor that if the problem is due to my motherboard. Now I do only have the OEM Windows 7 64bit so if I do get the motherboard replaced will I need to repurchase Windows 7?
