P35C-DS3R Doesn't hold BIOS OC Settings after shutdown ?

It seems like this issue is hit or miss depending on the individual board. Some users have not reported this problem at all, while others have experienced this problem one way or another. I'm wondering if this is an undiscovered issue with most users because the BIOS settings are reset...

P35C-DS3R Doesn't hold BIOS OC Settings after shutdown ?

It looks like the F11 Save-to BIOS profile did not work. I left the computer off for a couple hours after saving the BIOS settings ot the CMOS via F11 and when I powered up the the CPU Host Control was disabled and the memory timings were all back to default. I don't know what to do now!

P35C-DS3R Doesn't hold BIOS OC Settings after shutdown ?

Thank you for your input! I will try this tonight when I am at home and report back. I received a reply from another forum which stated it had something to do with the virtual BIOS, and I believe you are referring to the same issue.

P35C-DS3R Doesn't hold BIOS OC Settings after shutdown ?

Update I turned off the PC for the day and when I powered it up when I returned home, I experienced the same events as the OP. The computer powered up momentarily, fans and HDD were moving, then it beeped and then powered off. It then powered itself on and continued the boot process...

And I thought I was the only one with this problem! I have found a solution for this problem which I hope will work for anyone else affected. Remove the battery, clear the CMOS, and replace battery. Configure default settings upon first boot to ensure that your system is fine. Reboot...

Need Help Selecting Video Card for new system build

I read over EVGA's lifetime warranty policy, and there is no clear indication or statement that defines that the warranty is only valid on cards purchased through authorized retailers or e-tailers. The warranty is non-transferrable, and I am aware of this. The card I won/bought on ebay is...

EVGA! The card is new/sealed and was purchased off ebay. I hope EVGA will accept my registration even though it's purchased from an online auction site.

Need Help Selecting Video Card for new system build

Well I bit the bullet and bought an 8800GTX. I don't feel like waiting another 2-3 months for a new video card line to be released, as my incomplete system has been collecting dust. Hope I can play in 1920 x 1080 with full details!

Connecting Computer to HDTV

I recommend a DVI-HDMI cable, which would allow you to keep the digital signal for better reproduction of the image. There are converters that do DVI/HDMI, that would also work too. It's probably the cheaper solution if you already have an existing DVI-DVI cable.

*edit* I bought a Sharp Aquos 46" 1080P display :)

I'm hoping you will have a good set, that would save you time and hassle. ;) I'm already using Shaw for basic cable and internet service and I would like to have HD service with them as well. Their current offering looks similar to what Starchoice has to offer, but I don't watch enough TV to...

*edit* I bought a Sharp Aquos 46" 1080P display :)

Yes, I've seen the banding on 46" models. I was with my friend who purchased the 46". When we took delivery and brought it home, we were surprised to see banding on his HD STB, PS3, and also his DVD player. We did not try the PC as his computer was not yet hooked up as a HTPC, but I think after...

*edit* I bought a Sharp Aquos 46" 1080P display :)

The Samsung probably appeared to look better because of the finish of the actual panel itself; the glossy finish tends to warm up the picture a lot more. This is the thing to be weary of, the differences in picture quality, perceived or otherwise, between panels in-store. Most, if not...

No, I do not have any banding issues with the 42" D62U (knock on wood). From personal experience, I know 3 people with the 42" version, without any banding issues, and 2 people with the 46" version. Both persons with the 46" version had banding issues. They were purchased around...

Asus a8n-e..

I don't have the A8N-SLI, but I do have the A8N-E running in another system, that is OC'd. I overclocked an Opteron 144 1.80GHz to 2.6GHz, with DDR400 memory running at DDR440 speed.

ASUS vs. Gigabyte

If you don't plan on using DDR3 in the near future, then do not consider the Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R. Consider the GA-P35-DS3R, or the GA-P35-DS3P, or the GA-P35-DQ6. As for which board to get, it is a choice of price and features. I choose the GA-P35-DS3R as I didn't require WiFi, Dual...
