Bit irrelevant to the thread but don't use the swirl/twirl filter to obscure numberplates as it's really easy to undo! ;)

Almost certainly time for a new battery - you're lucky you don't have a UK GT Four as it would have fried the alarm system as well. Cost me £350 to replace the battery and the entire alarm system when mine died.

I'd definitely go with the better graphics card like Th3D0n says. i5 is not a weak CPU in any way, and the graphics card will make a much bigger difference. You'd have a lot of trouble maxing out the CPU but no trouble at all maxing out a £150 graphics card.

Have you tried installing the Realtek drivers off the CD or Gigabyte's website?

I get similar interference in an Antec 300 at work, but my venerable P180 at home has no interference at all with an EX58-UD5. I think it's just the shielding on the cables, coupled with different graphics cards. You could try a homemade fix of aluminium foil - make sure to cover the foil in...

Also got F7, delivered July 20th.

I had a similar problem with my UD5 only detecting 4GB out of 6GB. Main things you could try: 1) Remove all RAM except for one stick in DIMM1_1 and see if it boots. If it does, add a stick at a time making sure to reinsert the RAM firmly, rebooting each time you add a stick. This worked...

I had a similar problem on first setting up my UD5 / 920 system. The BIOS was reading 4096MB with all 3 OCZ 12800 modules installed. I read these threads and some similar ones on other forums with a bit of a sinking feeling and thought I'd need to take it all to pieces again to figure out the...

Are you sure there actually were broken pins? If it was also a socket 939 winchester as in your sig, there are a number of pin 'spaces' which are not used in socket 939. Pics: http://techreport.com/reviews/2004q2/athlon64-3800/index.x?pg=1

Well, back to the drawing board for me as it's just happened again, guess I haven't cured it after all. Perhaps I shouldn't have talked about it. I recommend reading the thread linked in my post above, there is a fair amount of good advice there. Different things work for different people...

Here's my post from another thread: What spec are you running?

Those events look fine, I think they are your PC restarting rather than any error causing it to crash.

I found, regardless of what 'people on the internet' claim, that it was perfectly possible to roll back to the MS IDE drivers from the device manager - although I accept that maybe what XP says has happened and what has actually happened may differ a bit ;)

Any errors in the event logs at the times you have your crashes? (Right click My Computer > Manage > Event Viewer)

Personally I had the same symptoms and it was connected to the disk subsystem - either a faulty IDE driver, faulty motherboard or faulty HD. Now this was on a different, Intel, system quite a while back, and the pausing was caused by Windows falling back to PIO mode due to too many errors on...

Are there any Disk errors in the event logs?
