Yeah, the header is definitely plugged in correctly, I have checked the fan a couple times and also the fan does work when I disable bios control so it's definitely plugged in. If I revert to bios F9 could it work? Thanks for continued help .

Hi man,
Try to put some extra voltage on memory in Bios. There is some kind of secret weapon for this mem related cold bots : FSB over voltage (+ 0.1V will do).
Thanks for the advice, rone. I tried it last night and it booted OK this morning. Let's hope this is a permanent fix.
Originally posted by: tenaxsorry..not sure exactly what you've tried..i may or may not have had the occasional cold boot issue..(press button, power's on, no post?) when i've been playing around with various bios settings..what has always worked for me (which has only been 2 or 3 times ) is to simply turn off the power to the whole system by turning off the power to my psu in back (or unplugging), leave for 15 seconds, then turn back on , power up, bios comes up at default 8 x 266 for my e6400 processor..then i hit delete and adjust the bios as i want to. hope that helps. i've never reset the cmos with jumpers or pulled the battery by the way

I just got my 965P-DS3 (rev 3.3) from Newegg installed yesterday and spent several hours setting it up and loading Vista 32. For those of you that are having problems with a tick in device manager on the jmicron sata controller as well as unstable and glitchy perfomance, I have a possible solution.
As always for a fresh install, I downloaded the most current drivers from the gigabyte website before the Vista Installation. All drivers went in fine except the SATA2 Raid windows drivers on gigabytes website- " motherboard_driver_sata_gb_sata2raid.exe ". They would freeze during install about a third of the way thru and lock the system. I tried reinstalling windows, downloaded the drivers three times before I noticed that they say it's a 3.01 MB file and the file i was downloading was only 2.37 mb?? There are 4 sites to choose from- 1. Asia, 2. Asia(China), 3. America, 4. Europe. Strangely, the Asia and Europe files are 3.0 mb and the Asia (China) and America links are only 2.37 mb? I tried the driver download from Europe and they installed without a glitch and solved my jmicron tick as well.
I also had a lesser problem loading the sata install drivers during windows installation but was finally able to get raid set up using these drivers, this fellow over at TH"extracted" from a windows update. If you aren't getting raid working during install, you might try these- jmicron Raid Drivers. Many thanks to Zorglub38 at TH for putting these out there for me to find!
Hope any of this helps just one of ya!

I'm having a similar problem.
I'm using XP Pro SP2 (x86). I can't seem to get my optical drives to work. In the device manager i see them as: SCSI Cdrom Device.
My single hard drive is plugged into SATA1 on the mobo. I did a clean install and this is what i'm getting.
I have no idea what to do next....please advise!!

Yes, that's pretty much what I am experiencing. But it is quite annoying, since I have to wai for quite some time (off, wait, on), and I am turning on my PC at least twice a day.
I guess I'll have to learn to live with it, since everything else is quite stable, and I don't really need to work in overclock mode all the time. Thanks for the replies, but I am still puzzled why Gigabyte can't fix such an obvious problem in so many of their motherboards.

cheet, are you plugging your optical or an orange or purple port?..reason i ask is because there is no reason to use the purple unless you're wanting to use raid and then would yes, require third party drivers....i have tried 2 sata dvd drives ..using orange only.no reason i believe to use the jmicron unless i have raid..which i don't..and in both cases, the system booted up fine with microsofts own drivers (liteon burner detected at udma 5, pioneer burner detected at udma 4..both work fine). no additional drivers were needed or wanted i have an sata 2 maxtor hd..again..on an orange port..again, no extra drivers needed. winxp sp2.
ps- just occurred to me..i have legacy ide enabled in my bios..are you mucking with ahci setting etc? if so, save yourself the grief.. that may well be your issue and from what i've read in the past week, no performance boost to be had with it to speak of...some reports actually decrease performance.

(i can do 425 anyway with my 333 rated memory, but have to relax the timings to 5-5-6-15 to do it..the system is faster and benches better as a happy medium if i run it at 375 fsb/memory and run my timings at 4-4-4-12. no question..

well, one of us is not understanding how this works..and i don't think it's me so, your fsb is at 400...look at cpu-z..your rated fsb should then be at 1600! stock timing for a ds3 prior to revision 3.3..and for the dual core processors is 4 x 266 (1066 rated fsb) for the ds3 revision 3.3... 4 x 333 or 1033, which we know the dual core is quite capable of doing..i'm running my memory and fsb at 375..or 1500..quite nice for a 1033 processor, don't you think? you're running yours if memory and cpu is 450..at 1800... if you wanted to run your fsb on processor at the real 533 (not 2 x 266) then your rated fsb would be 2132 on a 1033 dual core processor..haven't heard of anyone doing that, and if they are and you want to do that? better add the cost of a water cooling setup on top of the cost of new ram
short story..ram setting is 2x your real fsb..rated processor fsb is 4x your setting.

When using 1066 I was referring to the ram DDR2 1066 or PC2 8500 Ram. I do understand the relationship between all the components
