Default Problems with ex58 extreme.
I have problems with my board already. Yikes

I rebooted my pc and on start up I get this. I don't even have a chance to press del to enter the bios. Instead I get this message.

Scanning bios image in harddrive.

I googled it a bit and none of the solutions work.

Like moving the memory around, taking some out. Heck I even tried different brands.

I have cleared the cmos and nothing.

I didn't even flash the bios before this.

This seems like a gigabyte problem.

Maybe this helps Re: ''Scanning Bios Image In harddrive''

Quote:
New Gigabyte boards have a way of saving the current BIOS to an area of the harddrive you cannot access wgich is why formatting will have no effect. You need to enter the BIOS Q Flash utility and set it up to boot from the main BIOS not the backed up image,
Maybe try that out.

Good Luck, Gigabyte boards already with problems, but I might have to agree with what the user said in the first link, saying that somebody might have been fiddling with the board before you got it, maybe the store you purchased it from were running a QA / Testing on it, to make sure boards work and forgot to revert back to some settings.

i've had my EP45T do this on occasion. i can't recall the exact fix but i think a CMOS clear with the CPU and battery out might have worked, or i put the driver CD in the optical drive and upon boot up it flashed the BIOS from the CD. i am thinking it is a corrupt BIOS or something has gone wonky with their "double BIOS".

Hmm, it seems like Gigabyte's X58 boards are really buggy, like I mean, they have simple fixes, but they shouldn't be this problematic... Should I go with a different one for my build?

I think it is luck of the draw.

I been hearing alot of good things about the board in regards to bios update. I am still running the default bios until I get my water gear in.
