I build a new PC with the following specs...
CPU: Intel 4670K
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3
RAM: 2xCrucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer with LEDs 2x8GB (8-8-8-24)
GPU: Connect3D Radeon 4890 (carried over from my old PC)
Sound Card: Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Professional (PCI) (carried over from my old PC)
PSU: Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold 700W (carried over from my old PC)
The mobo came with F2 BIOS which worked fine for 2 weeks except that it didn't detect the PCI Sound Card...and a USB WiFi n thingy(also carried over from my old PC) disconnects and reconnects when it feels like it...i ignored both...
After two weeks i show that F5 BIOS was released so i flashed it.
When i turned the PC on the following day it gave me
continues beeps
then rebooted by itself
no beep
then rebooted by itself
one normal beep but no actual POST
then rebooted by itself
continues beeps and so on...
I removed the battery, it booted and then i flashed F4 BIOS.
No problems for two weeks.
It even found the sound card for the first 2-3 boots and then lost it again.
Then F6 BIOS was released. I flashed it the exact same thing happened as F5.
I thought that it was a BIOS problem, so i reflashed F4.
No problems for a week.
Then the same thing happened with F4 as F5 and F6 even F2 now.
When the PC boots, no matter how many times i restart it it boots.
When i leave it shut down for the night and the next morning i boot it it never boots and i have to clear cmos.
I searched for BIOS beep codes (its an AMI by the way), and although i am not sure it may be the PSU.
Does anyone have the BIOS beep codes for this motherboard?
Edit...
Also i measured the 12V actual voltage with a multimeter from a molex cable and it is 12.2V all the time(for both following cases).
But when the Graphics card is inserted BIOS shows 11.808V
and when the Graphics card is not inserted BIOS shows 12.024V
Is it a PSU fault or Mobo doesn't read the correct voltages so it doesn't boot?
Or both?
