Alright! The problem might be solved! Unbeliavable...what am i gona do with my life after that?? No problem to solve anymore...ill throw away my computer and buy a new one!
Nah, ok. I found something in the gigabyte formu...but its in german. So i try to translate it as good as i can...
Seems gigabyte have a well known bug, that has to do with the memory multiplier. Its strange acctualy, cause the article is about earlier boards with p35 chipset...(well, i think i also saw a post there, that refers to a ds4 board) ok, they are not old yet, but that theres still the same bug on a x38-ds4 board makes me think (that the gigabyte engineers are a bit of lazy).
Well, whatever...looks like, that on my board, the only memory multi that works fine is the 2.5 one. Since i have set that multi, the board does the on-off-on nomore...i hope im not too early with this post...;)
The bug is in the memory multiplyer. When you set the wron ram multi, the bios will reset if everytime you coldboot the pc.
Copy/paste:
Examples for Ram-Multis:
(G)MCH strapping
x.xxA -> 266MHz
x.xxB -> 333MHz
x.xxC -> 200MHz
x.xxD -> 400MHz
FSB800 z.B. E4300, E4500, E2160, E2180 usw...
Strap200 and the right Ram-Multis...
P965 = [2.66] [3.33] [4.00]
P35 = [3.33] [4.00]
X38/X48 = [2.66C] [3.33C] [4.00C]
FSB1066 z.B. E6300, E6320, E6400, E6420, E6600, E6700, Q6600 usw...
Strap266 and the right Ram-Multis...
P965/P35 = [2.00] [2.50] [3.00] [4.00]
X38/X48 = [2.00A] [2.50A] [3.00A] [4.00A]
FSB1333 z.B. E6550, E6750, E6850, E8200, E8400, E8500 usw...
Strap333 and the right Ram-Multis...
P35 = [2.00] [2.40] [3.20]
X38/X48 = [2.00B] [2.40B] [3.20B]
FSB1600 z.B. for new 45nm EE CPUs
Strap400 and the right Ram-Multis...
nur X38/X48 = [2.00D] [2.66D]
I first had to understand, that the right multis foe a q6600 are the "A" ones...cause the bios is telling folowing:
...This means: Q6600 is by default running on 266mhz with a multi of x9 =2.4ghz. So you use only the x.xxA Ram multis.
For cpus that run by default on 333mhz fsb, you only use the x.xxB multis. I think the way i understood this first, that u use the x.xxB multi when you overclock to 333mhz fsb is wrong.
Got it? ;)
I hope i explained right.
So, for whoever has this problem, heres my bios settings that work (on a x38-ds4):
Multiplier: x9
FSB Clock Freq: 348
Pci-e frequency: 100
Memory multiplier: 2.50A
800mhz > 870mhz
Memory Timings 5-5-5-19
Vcore: 1.2430 ...or lower/higher...depends on chip...
No voltage raised anywhere else.
