GigaByte GA-H87-D3H(rev. 1.x) Stability issues

[DeepBlueSky]

Hi Guys,

This is my first post here, after making the jump from an oldish AMD AM2+ system to a new Intel system for the home computer I have been having fun.

 

Random Blue screens in Windows 8.1, the System not posting if I try and use any of the Corsair memory profiles for the Gigabyte board, just really annoying. My Memory is (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9)

 

Anyway I found the following post http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=119923&highlight=ga-h87-d3h and after general Googling I came to the conclusion it’s a board issue.

This prompted me to talk to Gigabyte and they have supplied a new BIOS that may help as I’m at work I can’t check yet but thought I would pass it on help any guys out there in my situation.

Thank you for your kindly mail and inquiry. About the issue you mentioned, please try the following steps:

 

1. Please update attached BIOS F6c and then test again. And for BIOS update instructions, please refer to Reflash Motherboard BIOS. Please do not forget to Load Optimize Default BIOS setting and please also do not try to overclock your system while updating BIOS.

 

2. Please test your system in a simple environment after Loading Optimized Default BIOS setting : If your M/B is inside a case, please make sure that there's not a short circuit. You can try building the whole system outside the case. Remove such as add-on cards, devices from motherboard, only install CPU, single memory, single HDD, VGA card and power.

 

3. Please test your memory modules separately into every slot at a time to verify whether there is any issue with memory modules or memory slots

 

4. If possible, we suggest you try to test your system with other memory.

 

If you still have any further question or suggestion about our products/service, please do not hesitate to contact with us. We will try our best to help you resolve the problem ASAP.

 

Regards,

GIGABYTE
