1-4 Installing the Memory
DDR3_4
DDR3_2
DDR3_3
DDR3_1
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory
of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and installed in the same colored DDR3
sockets. For optimum performance, when enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules,
we recommend that you install them in the DDR3_1 and DDR3_2 sockets.
(SS=Single-Sided, DS=Double-Sided, «- -«=No Memory)

— 31 — BIOS Setup
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the
motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,
saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows
the user to modify basic system configuration settings or to activate certain system features.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to
keep the configuration values in the CMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned on.
To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q-Flash or @BIOS utility.

• Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating
system.

• @BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the Internet
and updates the BIOS.
For instructions on using the Q-Flash and @BIOS utilities, refer to Chapter 4, «BIOS Update Utilities.»
Chapter 2 BIOS Setup

• Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current
version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with
caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.

• It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system
instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system’s
failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.
(Refer to the «Load Optimized Defaults» section in this chapter or introductions of the battery/clear
CMOS jumper in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)

Whether the system will work stably with the overclock/overvoltage settings you made is dependent
on your overall system configurations. Incorrectly doing overclock/overvoltage may result in damage
to CPU, chipset, or memory and reduce the useful life of these components. This page is for advanced
users only and we recommend you not to alter the default settings to prevent system instability or
other unexpected results. (Inadequately altering the settings may result in system’s failure to boot. If
this occurs, clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.)

&
& xHCI Mode
Allows you to determine the operating mode for the xHCI controller in OS.

Smart Auto This mode is available only when the BIOS supports the xHCI controller in the pre-boot
environment. This mode is similar to Auto, but it adds the capability to route the ports
to xHCI or EHCI according to setting used in previous boots (for non-G3 boot) in the
pre-boot environment. This allows the use of USB 3.0 devices prior to OS boot. xHCI
controller enabling and rerouting should follow the steps in Auto, when previous boot
routs ports to EHCI. Note: This is the recommended mode when BIOS has xHCI pre-
boot support. (Default)

Auto
BIOS routes the sharable ports to EHCI controller. Then it uses ACPI protocols to
provide an option to enable the xHCI controller and reroute the sharable ports. Note:
This is the recommended mode when BIOS does NOT have xHCI pre-boot support.

Enabled AllsharedportsareeventuallyroutedtothexHCIcontrollerduringtheBIOSbootprocess.
If BIOS does not have pre-boot support for the xHCI controller, it should initially route
the sharable ports to the EHCI controller and then prior to OS boot it should route the
ports to xHCI controller. Note: OS has to provide support for the xHCI controller in this
mode. If the OS does not provide support, all sharable ports won’t work.

Disabled

Sziasztok!

A címben említett alaplappal küzdök.
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2668#ov

Először is kicseréltem egy marék kondit, mert már eléggé púposak voltak.
+ volt 1-2 ami ki is folyt.

A power gombra sem reagál.

A tápegység önmagában terhelve OK!
A lila vezeték +5VSB OK!

Szerintetek merre lenne érdemes elkezdeni a hibakeresést?

A KQ1 (1117) szerintem LD1117 vagy hasonló lehet, ott a kimenetén 3,3v-ot mértem.
Ami a BIOS CHIP mellett van. Szerintem ez a CHIP táplálására szolgál.
Úgyhogy a Stby állapot szerintem megvan, csak nem tud elindulni valami végett.

+ Még egy dolog.
A power gomb tüskéinél a + lábnál 5v-ot mérek.
Ha megnyomom a power gombot akkor leesik 0v-ra.

Most így elsőre csak ennyit tudtam nézni.

Előre is köszönöm a segítséget.

Úgy éreztem,jobb ha szervizbe viszem a gépet,ahol látszólag rendbe is hozták.Azért csak látszólag,mert egy új operációs rendszert telepítettek az
500Gb-s Hdd 50Gb-s partíciójára,ahol egy már régebben «elhalálozott»Windows
volt,de a biosz-ban a hibák váltzatlanul ott vannak.
Kérdésem mit lehet ezzel kezdeni? Biosz frissítést nem igazán merem bevállalni,mert még nem csináltam,de nem tudm azt se,hogy az orvosolná e a problémát.
A válaszokat előre is köszönöm
Üdv

«FONTOS! Olyan fórum téma nevet válassz, ami beszédes, minél pontosabban illeszkedik arra, amivel kapcsolatban írsz. Egy lehetséges jó elnevezés
pl: ORION LCD PT26S chassis 17MB12-2, a tápja nem indul
Az nem elég, hogy pl: «LG LCD-TV» vagy «HP laptop» és hasonlóak. Illetve érdektelen, nem releváns információt se tartalmazzon a cím!
A helytelenül elnevezett topik felfüggesztésre, majd 48 óra után törlésre kerül! Felfüggesztett állapotban nem tudnak mások addig hozzászólni, amíg ki nem javítod a címet.
A hibás cím utólagos javítása (48 órán belül) a «Szerkesztés» fülre kattintva végezhető el.»
