I've got a new GA-8IHXP motherboard running RAID 1 (mirrored), with an ATI RADEON 9700 (non-pro) video card. When I power the system down for some time (> 5 minutes) and power up again, I get a POST boot error (2 beeps followed shortly by 8 quick beeps). If I do ctrl-alt-del it reboots and comes up fine. If I power down and immediately back up, it also boots fine. As far as I know, I've got the latest BIOS and drivers from the Gigabyte and Intel websites. Anyone got any ideas?
After some research, I believe the 8 beeps refers to a video ram test failure.
TIA,
TF
