Update your bios would my first guess.

 

Might also post your system specs for us so we know what hardware you have.

Could also help with a bios update link then too.

We need to know so we can troubleshoot this.

Download and install HWiNFO as it will tell us.

 

Download HWiNFO here - https://www.hwinfo.com/

 

Then open HWiNFO and make sure no boxes are check on the first box that pops up.

Then you should see a screen like whats below.

Print screen it and post it would be the best option for us. 

Or just tell us what it says for motherboard.

I put a big arrow on the example below.

Go to this link: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-990XA-UD3-rev-1x/support#support-dl-bios

Download bios F14e

It will be a zip file.

Extract it.

And doubleclick on FLASHSPI.EXE to run it.

It should update the bios from within windows and prompt you to restart.

When it reboots, expect the boot screens to look different as the actual bios flash happens during the reboot.

It will do its thing, and then automatically reboot again.

It should then go into windows.

 

See if the problem still exists at that point.

 

Let us know.

It must be meant to be ran from a bootable command prompt. I was hoping it would update from within windows.

You might have to look up the directions from gigabyte on how to flash it.

If you cant figure it out, let me know and ill find some instructions to help you get it done.

I have to head out now for a bit and ill try to remember to check in when i get back.

If nothing else, message me directly if i dont respond within an hour or so.

I cant find it i only found that Flashing BIOS is very risky and i am scared to do that. Its my only computer and im using it for Home office so it cannot break.

Might be easier for you to clear the bios first which might help also.

The easiest way to do this is:

Disconnect the power cord. Open the system and remove the CR2032 battery that's on the mobo somewhere (Note the orientation so you can put it back in the same way).

Then with the power cord still unplugged, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. 

Then put the battery back in.

Then plug it back in and turn it on.

Well, lets flash the bios then.

 

Page 64 of your manual will walk you through it.

Follow the steps, make sure you dont reset or unplug your system while its in progress and you will be fine.

You manual can be downloaded here - https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-990XA-UD3-rev-1x/support#support-manual

 

Your motherboard also has a dual bios so if something does go wrong, you can switch to the other bios to recover.

A lot less risk that way.

Rest easy, you can do this.

O dang, that's probably the original bios version.

That gives me more hope an update will help.

 

Here is a download to the latest version.

https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_ga-990xa-ud3_f14e.zip

Make sure you extract the files to a usb key or whatever, dont just copy the zip file.

 

If that gives you an error, you may have to step the updates a little bit.

If you get an error on that file download the version below and try that.

If it works, then try the latest one again.

Did you try the older version?

If so, try one a bit older yet. link below.

Its common to have to do if the bios has never been updated.

 

 

Oldest, try this now: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_ga-990xa-ud3_f3.exe

if it works, then flash this one: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_ga-990xa-ud3_f7.exe

if that one also works, then flash the latest: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_ga-990xa-ud3_f14e.zip

The oldest driver doesn´t work too. I think this drivers doesn´t work with my board.

Its not a driver, its firmware. 

And it does, unless you told me wrong on the mobo model.

Try the original bios.

You are sure you are extracting the files to a usb key first right? Not just copying the file over?

Following the directions in your manual?

Yes when im extracting, im exctracting the files to the USB without any copying.

ok, try that older one.

if we cant get it to flash, that in its self could be another indicator that the board is having serious issues.

It didn’t work

ok, well, there could be something else going on.

Flashing the bios is kind of a multipronged troubleshooting step in that it sometimes fixes things with code updates.

But it also forces the bios to redetect hardware, similarly to clearing the bios like i had you do earlier.

It also can confirm board issues in the fact that if you cant flash a board bios, something is wrong somewhere.

Sometimes its the board, it could be something else though. CPU, memory.

Do you have any peripheral cards in the system that can be removed, or anything plugged in other than the mouse, keyboard and monitor?

If so remove them and try again.

Also, is there an option in bios to restore defaults? If so you might do that and try again.

If not or if it doesnt help, reseat your memory and GPU. Test the system to see if the original problem went away.

If the problem still exists after reseating the memory, reseat the CPU.

 

Also, i just realized you have 12gb of ram.,

You have mixed size ram modules done you?

Like to 4gb's and two 2gb's?

If so, try two matching sticks at at time.

Make sure you have them in the correct slots, generally slot 2 and 4.

Check your motherboards manual for memory placement if needed.
