Neil Cooper Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I got this board brand new a while ago but since i installed it in the PC its "Surged" when powering on the (fans,drives,HDD) all spin up as they would do, then spin down, they spin up for a second spin down for a second spin up Ect. This cycle last about a minuet before finally the Pc starts successfully at first this didnt bother me so much but now its a pain. so far i've; installed lastest BIOS cleared the CMOS and tried to speak to support at Biostar about 3-4 times over it and never ever got back to me.... hoping someone might have had the same problem or might have ideas on how to fix this thanks neil Quote * Windows 7 Ultimate - AMD Athlon 64 x2 3.0GHz - 2GB RAM - 1TB HDD Sata - XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770** H - 01001000.

KenB Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Hi Neil When you installed the m/board did you re-install the Operating System? If not - I am surprised that it boots at all - unless the m/board is an exact replacement.

Jelly Bean Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Can I just input here..... The startup fan sounds your experiencing appears to be overclock function and/or "smart fan"......The fans will start up then stop or slow due to smart fan.....An example is if the computer is idle the fans will slow or stop,it saves power...... My Gigabyte mainboard has smart fan and it also appears to start up and the fans slow or stop during the startup process.... Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................

Neil Cooper Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 hey thanks and at first no i took it out of my old machine and put it straight into this one it booted fine first time which surprised me but i did later i re-installed windows (clean install). i also know about the "smart fan" feature i thought thats why the fans are doing it however my HDD's and CD drives do the same is that anything to do with smart fan? P.s i forgot to mention i know the PSU isnt faulty as ive just swapped it in another computer mine continued to "surge" and the other computer with me PSU started fine. my PSU is a Storm 700watt PSU. one other thing that im not sure is normal with this board is after you shut the computer down the External HDD's i have installed carry on spinning weirdly (i can hear the arm swinging across the plate) i know this isnt good for them so i just unplug them now. LOL as you can tell if you've seen my other 2 posts i aint having much luck with computers xD anyway thanks for taking the time to help me. :rolleyes: Quote * Windows 7 Ultimate - AMD Athlon 64 x2 3.0GHz - 2GB RAM - 1TB HDD Sata - XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770** H - 01001000.

Jelly Bean Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 hey thanks and at first no i took it out of my old machine Is it a new mainboard or a used one? Your first post says a new one.... For HDD,CD etc to keep spinning after shut down my first thought would be PSU issue.... Second thought would be mainboard issues. Third wrong connection,bad cable bad peice of hardware... A PSU can appear to work perfectly in one machine and NOT in another.... Disconnect all internal hardware not required for booting and external.... Disconnect HDD,CD/DVD drives,card readers etc...... Now boot up are you getting the same startup/slow down/stop? Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
Neil Cooper Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 hey, the board was bought new, i've tried all this and same still i think its either a mb or psu issue but after tring a different psu in the Pc i think its more to be the motherboard i just have no idea what on it e.g chip,capacitor or what p.s even tried one ram at a time and removing the graphics card and using the onboard thanks again Quote * Windows 7 Ultimate - AMD Athlon 64 x2 3.0GHz - 2GB RAM - 1TB HDD Sata - XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770** H - 01001000.

Neil Cooper Posted November 11, 2011 Author Posted November 11, 2011 Sorry, what i mean is that the internal CD,HDD ect spin up surge at start up, and i mean the HDD was taken straight out of the old setup and put in this one the booting up fine, the board was bought new with this problem. i have re-read what you have said and done it all but still the annoying start up happens surging, the external HDD are what carry on spinning after shutdown everything internal shutsdown fine.
