How much memory do you have and what model, does it has XMP profile and what it Profile QPI Voltage?
For 6GB of high speed/low latency memory more than default QPI is usually needed, try 1.2-1.3v if Profile QPI Voltage is less than this.
After 12 hours of working on the board, using all different bios settings, reloading windows 6 times, it boils down to USB 3.0, even with me updating the firmware and all drivers. I have to say it more of a bios problem then anything else, the bios need to be modified for the Intel 970 CPU. Since I'm using Optimized setting in the Bios the voltage and settings for the memory for the setting of 1333 is all correct with respect to SPD settings. Gigabyte should look into the bios for the Intel 970 six core CPU.
Are these clean installs of XP, or images restored to the drive?
And the latest BIOS (FE7) could help with any CPU related issues, which you mention but I don't really see any issues about?
the power button in until the system shuts down.
changing any Bios settings for the i7-970.
Ver FE and the FE7, not changing any Bios settings for the 950.
any problems. So it's not the CPU.
down to the BIOS problems with the six core CPU.
Yes on the reinstall of the OS, they were all clean installs.
Hexa core CPU will always get more Gflops, and any CPU will always get more with HT off. Did you install SP3 on the XP yet?
Have you tested with the case power and reset cables removed? If not do that now, use a screw driver to start the system, and then see if it shuts down properly within windows, if so you have a cable, switch, or connection issue.
and updates from Microsoft for XP Pro x32.
storage, internet, USB, and video.
I understand what your staying about the Power Supply cable problem.
Bios FE and F7e, on both boards.
no problems. And the board that I put the 970 in is giving me the same problems.
So is it the 970 CPU compatibility issue with the x58A-UD5 (Ver 2) board.
starting with BIOS FB. But what does that mean?????
Hmm, I've not seen anyone else with these issues so it could be a faulty CPU, but you could be on to something.
Please send in a report here and see if they can test, thanks!
That means from F8 onwards the 970 CPU is fully tested and compatible, it may run on older BIOSes but may not be fully compatible.
I totally reject the idea that some of the folks have promoted that unless you believe in big government redistribution of money from one group of people to another that somehow you are not following the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That is just absurd. There is no teaching in Christ’s ministry in which He advocates for government to care for the poor. Every message in His ministry is a call to individual Christians and, by implication, churches, to do that.
We want to refute the statement that there are not clear teachings on the responsibility of society to pass policies that end poverty. As preachers and biblical scholars, it is imperative that we lean on the Bible and teach and preach to all what it really says about the poor, economic justice, and what believers are required to do to obey God. As people committed to justice and love, we must stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us in the struggle for equality and freedom to learn and affirm that ending poverty and systemic racism is possible.
Indeed, the Bible does not offer individual responses or solutions to society’s problems, but instead offers social responses and solutions. The books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus, written for leaders in society, discuss the policies and programs they are commanded to put in place to follow the will of God on caring for the stranger, on releasing captives, on providing for the poor. In fact, the whole of the Bible—starting with Genesis and ending in Revelation—has the arc of justice. Anti-poverty programs run through it.
Indeed, the Bible does not offer individual responses or solutions to society’s problems, but instead offers social responses and solutions.
This arc starts with the exodus and manna, which is most likely a response to Joseph and the Pharaoh’s setting up a system where a few religious and political leaders amassed great wealth at the expense of the people, as God’s plan is for society to be organized around meeting the needs of the people. It runs through Deuteronomy and the legal codes, which describe how society and our political and religious leaders are supposed to release slaves, forgive debts, pay people what they deserve, and distribute funds to the needy. It then continues through the prophets who insist that the way to love and honor God is to promote programs that uplift the poor and marginalized, and who decry those with religious and political power who cloak oppression in religious terms and heretical theology.
Finally, through the life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, we follow a Savior who travels across the land preaching liberation, setting up free health clinics and compelling society to live out the jubilee codes and sabbath prescriptions. Even the Apostle Paul, in four of his letters, sets up the collection for the poor of Jerusalem and insists that the role of society isn’t to impoverish the poor with taxes while the rich get tax breaks, but that community prosperity rests on a radical redistribution of wealth from the top to the bottom. Indeed, there is nothing more theologically significant in the epistles than the exhortation to care for the poor, to resist taxes that impoverish the poor, and to promote programs that uplift the poor. The Bible teaches us that releasing slaves, forgiving debts, paying people a living wage, and offering funds to those who need it—knowing that they will never pay those debts back—is how we create a prosperous society for all.
Therefore, in a time when 32 million Americans are being cut off of health care, it is important to decry the hypocrisy of our religious and political authorities, and to remind ourselves that God requires justice and denounces those who oppress the poor. We can turn to Matthew 23 for further instruction on this; Jesus exhorts that there were so-called moral leaders in his day who, instead of standing for justice and inclusion, acted as opponents of the poor, opponents of Jesus, and opponents of early Christianity. Jesus accused the political and religious authorities of his day, who in fact practiced the same religion as he did, for tying up heavy burdens for others to carry, for worshiping power and wealth, and for crossing land and sea to convert one person while ignoring the demands of justice, mercy, and faithfulness at home. Jesus condemned the hypocritical religious leaders of his day for holding gold and religious temples sacred rather than God, who made gold and those religious sites sacred and valuable in the first place.
The critique resonates with a comment from a mom organizing against the effects of the BP oil spill in the Gulf Coast: “You can’t eat gold, you can’t eat oil. Why then do we worship it and try to get so much of it?” It resonates with the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan, as well. The families of Flint are still struggling with the poisoning of their water and their whole bodies and their children’s bodies: their whole community. They were poisoned for years, while the General Motors plant got switched back to clean water after just months, complaining that the Flint water was corroding their engine parts. Poor moms there are saying: “What good is it if you can go to a store and get lead-free paint, and go to a gas station and buy lead-free gas, but you can’t go home and get lead-free water?” We must stop worshiping gold and profit and power, and start worshiping—and therefore practicing—the justice, mercy, and faithfulness of God.
It is important to conclude with a lesson from history: that poverty isn’t eternal or inevitable, and that programs to reduce poverty have been and still are effective. The Russell Sage Foundation has published Legacies of the War on Poverty, which demonstrates that poverty and racial discrimination would likely have been much greater today if the War on Poverty had not been launched. It documents how the War on Poverty reduced the school-funding gap between poorer and richer states, prompted Southern school districts to desegregate, contributed to a decline in elderly and childhood poverty, reduced infant mortality, and uplifted the lives of many. The solutions to the crisis of poverty exist. They resonate with what the Bible teaches us about the moral necessity to fight poverty.
We must do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God. We must help bring in God’s reign of economic justice and prosperity for all. We must start by ending poverty and systemic racism for everyone. It can be done, it has been done already, and we must do it now. The lives of millions of God’s children depend on it.

Video Vault: A few videos have my attention today. And I’m curious what you think of them. The first is a followup to a story I did earlier in the week. I covered Des Moines area Democratic Congressman Leonard Boswell’s announcement that former Republican candidate for Boswell’s 3rd District, Mark Rees, had endorsed him. Rees is far from a Republican regular. He was a registered Democrat when he filed to run for the Republican nomination. The endorsement comes as Boswell could be in for the toughest, or at least a tough, fight to hold onto his job the November. The theiowarepublican.com has this video of Rees not exactly praising Boswell’s efforts and congressman back when Rees was campaigning for the job. Rees also pledges to support the Republican nominee, which he is apparently not doing now. What do you make of all of this? Do you care that he isn’t following through on what he said? Will his endorsement sway anyone toward Boswell?
Speaking of the race, what do you think of the new attack ad the Iowa Democratic Party just released on the 3rd District Republican nominee Brad Zaun’s personal life? About ten years ago, Zaun had some type of incident with his ex-girlfriend. Police were called but charges were never filed. Democrats today released this ad about it. Here’s the video as reported in the Des Moines Register. Fair or unfair? Should Democrats have done something like this? Or is all fair game in love and politics? Let me hear ya!
Hurt Hawk: Did you see that video of the Iowa Hawkeye’s center getting creamed while he rode his motorcyle? Wow. How did he not get more seriously hurt?
LOS ANGELES: A U.S.-based startup co-founded and helmed by an Indian-American entrepreneur is testing a new driverless vehicle at a university campus.
The Santa Clara University campus is the beta test grounds for the autonomous shuttle system being developed by Silicon Valley start-up Auro Robotics.
Test engineers will occupy at least one of the four seats on the modified golf cart, monitoring technology and safety as well as the user experience.
The pedestrian campus allows Auro to observe and adjust its service in a large but traffic-free area that replicates the target market, the university said in a statement.
In addition to colleges, the company envisions these vehicles at theme parks, resorts, industrial campuses, and retirement communities.
SCU is a private institution, meaning the experiment does not require government approval.
In addition, Auro Robotics co-founder and CEO Nalin Gupta praised the university's "technology-forward mindset." One primary goal during the pilot programme will be learning whether the "shuttle bus" mode (a fixed route with a number of stops) or the "on demand" mode is more feasible and popular.
The benefit could extend to students, faculty and staff not only on campus but in accessing public transit such as Caltrain and the potential BART station nearby, the statement said.
The electric vehicle uses an array of sensors such as laser scanners, radar, cameras and GPS to create a 360-degree view. It is conditioned to avoid pedestrians by adjusting its route, or to stop completely if necessary.
The ride should be smooth because the sensors can evaluate as far as 200 meters away.
Not only does the vehicle sense pedestrians, it measures their speed and direction to assess whether those pedestrians will still be in the path, giving more lead time to adjust the route and speed.
The prototype at SCU is the company's only vehicle; as the tests generate more data and feedback, the company will build next-generation vehicles that will look less like golf carts.
Future vehicles could hold anywhere from one to five passengers, or even more in (for instance) an amusement park.
For the first month of the pilot, the vehicle will not have any university passengers. As Auro gathers data and makes adjustments, the company and university will develop guidelines for faculty, staff, and students to use the service.
Mr Gupta said the experience on campus, with or without passengers, provides valuable information that can't be produced in a lab.
"Every type of environment has some peculiarities. Those kinds of things take the most time and represent the greatest engineering challenge," he added.

Diners at Cava Mezze learned there is such a thing as too much cheese when four flaming cheese dishes set off the sprinkler system at the Harbor East restaurant last week.
About a dozen international colleagues from Oath, a digital media company owned by Verizon, were having dinner at Cava Mezze Tuesday night, when they were enjoying the restaurant’s saganaki (flaming cheese). They were among the last tables in the restaurant when they placed an order for four of the cheese dishes.
A video by James Hughes, another guest in the group and director of publisher sales for Oath, shows servers igniting the four skillets at once. Seconds later, a sprinkler directly overhead unleashes a torrent of water, dousing the flames and the servers.
Mezze isn't a new concept in the Baltimore dining scene. We've got plenty of Mediterranean spots, from casual to high end, and more than a few restaurants that focus on small plates.
But as a restaurant concept, it's not overplayed, either.
Saganaki is the most popular dish at Cava Mezze, founder Ted Xenohristos said. The restaurant, which also has several locations in the Washington, D.C., area, specializes in Greek-inspired small plates.
In the 12 years since Cava opened its original location, Xenohristos said he’s never seen anything like Tuesday’s incident. No one was hurt.
“We’ve always preached safety first with that dish,” he said.
Despite damage to a printer and phone at Cava Mezze, the restaurant replaced the items and was open for business Wednesday.
The saganaki has only become more popular in the last week, Xenohristos said.
“We’ve gotten people coming in and asking for it, they’re bringing it up, they’re talking about it,” Xenohristos said.
The video has since gone viral with more than 45,000 views on YouTube.
Todd Bowles kept mum about potential changes to his coaching staff Sunday after the Jets' 30-10 win over the Bills in the season finale at MetLife Stadium.
"I'll discuss all that as we get forward into our process next week," Bowles said.
Change is coming, though. According to people familiar with the situation, Bowles will be shaking up his staff. And offensive coordinator Chan Gailey could lose his job as the Jets' play caller.
Bowles was asked specifically if Gailey will be back next season, and he deflected again.
"I'll discuss all that as I get to our process next week," Bowles said.
The Jets offense has been a mess this season, so it shouldn't come a surprise that Gailey is on the hot seat. Granted, Gang Green's quarterback play has been among the worst in the league. But Gailey has failed to replicate the success he had last season with many of the same pieces, including Ryan Fitzpatrick.
"I always have loved to coach. I've always loved to do that," Gailey said this week. "I think it's in my blood. I think it'll be there until I go to grave."
Second-year receiver Quincy Enunwa — who enjoyed a breakout season in 2016 and caught five passes for 81 yards Sunday — voiced support for Gailey in the locker room after the victory.
