Hello everyone!
I just set up a new system.
Hardware: gigabyte 890ga-ud3h, amd 955, g.skill ripjaws 8gb ddr3 1600mhz, wd eco green 2tb, hd 6870, bequiet pure power l7 530w
My problem is that the bios wont start detecting drives until you press a key like "del" (to get to the bios settings) or "f12" (to select boot device) and so on ...
Once I do press a key (pressing "f12" most of the time to get to windows) the bios starts detecting drives, having no problems at all.
If I do not press a key it simply freezes after stating that the ram is fine and unganged.
Things I have tried so far:
- changing boot priority, taking out floppy from boot order (3 to chose, I chose hdd, cdrom, usb hdd)
- different sata ports (tryed the sata III and sata II ports, no difference)
- set bios to default (didnt do any overclocking at all yet anyways)
- flashed bios to newest, not beta, version
- changing from ide to ahci
Hope you guys have some good ideas or even the solution right away
Thanks in advance!
Edit:
it starts detecting drives no matter what key you press (doesnt need to have a function like "del" etc.)
also; windows 7 home premium family pack is installed (no problems once you get to it)
