Z77X-UD3H Issues

Tackle_Berry · 22 Apr 2013 at 09:06

Hi,

I got this board a few months back and always had a couple of issues which are now getting on my nerves. I get an issue roughly every 1 out of 3 boots where it will power on for roughly 10 seconds then reboot to other bios B for another 10 seconds and then 10 seconds later back to bios A then again to B and then will finally boot to desktop on bios A.

I have also had issues where in won't store a overclock, it will just keep loading default settings, even when I try loading a overclocked profile that has worked before it will just load default settings sometimes clearing the bios will fix this other times I have had to flash it.

Any ideas? I have tried the latest fully working bios and the even newer beta bios but have the same issues.

Have you tried running it without an overclock

Tackle_Berry · 22 Apr 2013 at 10:48

Can't remeber if I have tried that or not, I will give it ago this evening and post back.

Thanks

Maybe try a newer BIOS if you havent already, also flashing both BIOSes so they are the same I have read has cured a few peoples similar startup issues.

Thanks, I have tried newer bios and different versions but same issues, I will give matching bios's a try.

On this MB I have a problem that it will not reboot from the OS - it just turns off and then will not restart until I have unplugged and left for a couple of minutes and then turn back on. Is this a know issue? I have tried different power supplies that work fine in other rigs.

Tackle_Berry · 22 Apr 2013 at 13:44

Sounds like it could be I have used 3 different power supplies while using this board and always been the same.

try with vcore voltage response set to fast and pwm phase control set to extreme,whether your stock or oc'd,it will help with stability

the bios's are a bit vague when it comes to saving the settings,you have to clear cmos or reflash the same bios to get it to save

exact same with my h55-ud3h, no bios revision has ever fixed it seems the newer gens dont fix it either xD

Will have a play around and try what everyone has suggested, will be going for a Sabertooth when Haswell comes out.

Thanks for the help will post back.

if you do fix it id be interested, ive learnt to live it with mine since its maybe one in ten reboots, but it would be nice to fix

wazza300 · 22 Apr 2013 at 20:58

it shouldn't affect you melvis? x58/p55/h55 bios's were fine

z68 also,its only z77 that seems to be a bit flakey

melvis · 22 Apr 2013 at 21:22

mines always done it, every so often ill notice the bios showing 1333/2.66Ghz rather than my overclock and i have to go into the bios and set everything back, replaced the cmos battery a couple years back incase it was that, but didnt change anything, its not a big issue, its maybe every ten reboots and i only reboot once or twice a week.

wazza300 · 22 Apr 2013 at 21:49

Sure its not down to a failed oc? It will reset to default,same as a cold boot

melvis · 22 Apr 2013 at 21:57

nah, a failed o/c on this bios shows a little error message at the post screen i had a few of those when i tried to push for 4.0Ghz, but its not the same when it just quietly reverts to defaults.

wazza300 · 23 Apr 2013 at 00:17

strange,ive never come across that issue,even over on tweaktown

melvis · 23 Apr 2013 at 07:31

yea, i couldnt find any info on it when it first happened either, i did test if it was oc stabilty too by setting it to a tiny 2.7Ghz o/c but it still happened, it may have been doing it since day one, but until i overclocked it i wouldnt have noticed since it was at defaults already, since its not too annoying i just let it be, at least i never get to forget my o/c settings!,

Tackle_Berry · 7 May 2013 at 13:40

Sorry for the delay, I have now flashed both BIOS's so they are now identical. I also changed PWM phase to extreme but could not get it to change the vcore voltage response to fast, when i try pressing enter to change the option it does nothing I also tried manually typing fast in the field but no joy. Since making these changes I have not had any issues though so I am hoping this done the trick. Thanks

wazza300 · 7 May 2013 at 13:42

if its not saving the bios setting you have to reflash the bios and then try entering oc/bios settings again

Tackle_Berry · 7 May 2013 at 13:49

It is saving fine but it won't let me change the Vcore voltage response to fast, which is what you recommended doing.
