It's stable now, completely. I made a mistake and upped too many different settings at once, so it's going to be hard to tell which one actually did it. I think I ended up getting too frustrated with the machine and just wanted it to work. The volts right now are as follows: DDR2: +.3V (2.1V)...

Alright.. I unplugged the cord, power cycled the switch a few times, let it boot up. It seems fine.. even acted like a normal boot up for the day. So far, so good. I'll have to wait until I go to sleep tomorrow morning to really play with it.

Quite a few times, but I never unplugged it... I can try that afterwards. Was there a certain amount of time you waited between the cycling, or leaving it unplugged?

I bumped the Vcore up to 1.375, the DDR up .3 and the MCH up .1 - mind you, some of these changes were implemented beforehand. The biggest issue is the time needed to test it out, as the cold booting process that steve recommended doesn't seem to replicate it completely.

So I let it sit overnight.. booted it up this morning and it started showing the same signs. But after the first reboot, it came on.. hurray! Wait.. the BIOS reset itself. Well.. before it wouldn't even get in, so I guess that's a good sign? Either way, it didn't hold the settings.

I'll have to give that a shot... I had set all the voltages at normal -except- Vcore, which was 1.25 - .75 lower than stock. I've upped that back up and I'm going to see what happens with that.. thanks for the tip, I'm going to do that now and see what happens. EDIT: If what you say is true...

I think I figured it out. Gigabyte has 3 different revisions for this motherboard, of which I was sure I picked the right one when I flashed it.. I think that may be the issue here. EDIT: Gigabyte ends up having 1.0, 1.3, 2.0, 3.3 - of which the 1.0 and 1.3 are on different pages entirely. I...

That would be.. annoying, to say the least. Here's what happened today when I booted it up. Powered on, paused 2 seconds, powered off. Powered on, paused 4 seconds, powered off. Third time it powered on, then just stayed at a black screen. That's when I reset the BIOS. Now, the...

The title only allows me so much to work with, so I'll clarify here: After overclocking my system to a stable 2.8 Ghz (400x7), I'll run all the tests to make sure that it can handle it.. then when I shut it down for the night and power it back up the next morning, it will not POST. I have to...
