Sabretooth 990FX R2.0, BIOS 2104
- Thread starter MediaJunky
- Start date
Don't worry, I will not plan to overclock 4.7GHz cpu for now 
So I flashed v2005, and all settings in bios by default, just ecc disabled. I installed w8.1 x64 no unwanted reboots.
But when I installed graphics driver, random reboots again.
So tomorrow I'll continue with downgrading.. hope one of them will help.. :/

What video card and driver version are you using?
Try using the latest ATI drivers from the AMD site instead...

Uninstall your old vid drivers 1st though.
Hi guys,
So I tested many possibilities, but with no succes.
Tests:
-driver change - no succes/windows wont boot, due to bootlops
-disconnection of all unneeded drives (tried to check if psu is weak-650w), just kept main hdd(sata1 brown) and dvd(sata5 brown) - no succes
-changed ahci to ide in bios-no succes
-disconnection of front audio cable w/ change hd audio to ac97 in bios-no success
-done downdrage to all mentioned bios versions-no succes
Whole bios setup by default, except disabled ecc and boot.
So I still have random reboots and now Im even not able to install windows (w8.1 x64).
So I'm gonna to RMA MoBo.

Sounds good as anything. It is time to begin physical parts replacement, so that is about as good a first thing to change out as anything.

Did you ever try an older bios like 508, I think it's that Patriot memory that's giving you all the problems but that's me.
Hmm, thats a good point Johan. I didnt realize thats what he was using. I've had hit and miss luck with some Patriot stuff in the past.
The oldest bios, which I've tested was 0803, and PC havent booted, also CPU LED has been lighted up.
I suppose the older bios wont support my CPU (FX9590) or?
Do u think that all this miserable stuff is caused only by patriot memory?
Cause one week before I had KHX24C11T3K2/16X, and those had many errors during memtest.
So which memory should I use?

Ok sorry I should have said 803 and it will support you CPU that's not the issue. I do think it's a definate possibility. Have you tried it with just 1 dimm and at default speed? Or could you borrow some G.Skill from a friend maybe??
On the R2.0 mobo, you find higher-end G.Skill and Kingston RAM will work nicely. There are definitely other though.
I'm currently using the Team Extreem RAM, which has been excellent so far. But this is the 1st time I've used that brand.
I have tested CPU with one each RAM module also, and no change. But once Ive flahed 803, system havent boot up. And CPU LED was lighting up, so I dont know.
I'll return the Patriot memory modules and buy some G-Skill, before purchase, I'll try to search some test memory from my friends.
I wanted to buy the Kingston modules, but Ive not found any supported by this MoBo,which is for sale here.

Just make sure its their higher-end RAM, Predator or Beast models, etc.
Sure, every flash I cleared cmos. When I have flashed 803, it won't boot, if I flash some later version, it boots, but still random reboots, and even, Im not able to install windows.
