    I have a Gigabyte MB with an AMD 1055T 6 core processor, running Win 7. System boots and runs fine, but I am unable to re-boot. When I try, it starts to reboot, screen goes black and it continously beeps until I turn it off. On repower it boots normally.
    I've been told this is caused by the multiple cores.
    Any news of solution?

    There is certainly no problem with a 4 core processor and I can find no refernce to your issue to date on Google. I assume you have all the relevant chipset drivers loaded and the latest BIOS?

    I believe I have all the drivers that came with the MB. I did upgrade the BIOS.

    But have you checked the Gigabyte site to ensure that those are the latest. Without your mobo model no, we can't help you there, hence .....

    Can you identify the Beep code? Either from the manual or via the net?

    I downloaded the latest BIOS from Gigabyte and installed it. Still fails re-boot.
    Downloaded all Drivers and attempted to upgrade drivers. System responds that I have latest driver.

    I had contacted Gigabyte about the problem when I first built it and received an answer that it was a Windows problem and was being worked on.
    When I reboot and it hangs beeping, it makes a series of four long beeps which keeps repeating until I power off. Do you know what the significance of the beep code is?

    Looks like a memory problem to me (looking at the beep codes posted by Pete above).

    Yes, in the process of double checking that I have installed the RAM correctly, I have removed it and re-installed it making sure I follow the instructions in the Gygabite manual.
    What still puzzles me is: why does it run fine on an initial boot and only fail on re-boot. I would think it the memory was not configured correctly or was defective, it would fail the initial boot.

    Puzzles me too - that is why I suggested the only factor which would be different between a cold boot and a restart - temperature. Maybe it was a long shot, but it was all I could come up with.

    I have updated my System Specs data in case it might help identify this problem

    Can't see them ! You most probably forgot to turn it on.

    Turned System Specs on...

    As for overclocking, no, I am using the defaults in BIOS.

    I have a dual boot system, Win 7 and XP Pro. Get the same re-boot failure in both...
