X58 BOOT

My x58 has an odd behavior, of power on, power off, pause, and then POST. It
only happens if you change BIOS settings. I changed my memory settings to
extreme, 1.65v, and a multiplier for 1600. Is something wrong? I emailed
Gigabyte support on the POST issue AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. If you get an
answer please post the solution, or lack of one.

Unless you overclock, an i7 920 or 940 will not run any higher than 1066 on
a Gigabyte X58 even with SPD or XMP. I run a 940 with OCZ Gold 1600, with
the overclock listed above.

Did you load the F4 BIOS? I'm running a RAID0 setup and I'm paranoid I'll
lose my array.

:>It is normal when some - but not all - BIOS settings are changed for

Also normal for the P35 and X38 boards from Gigabyte. I think this is
pretty common for newer motherboards from most manufacturers.
