How to Reset BIOS on the GA-X58A-UD3RMotherboards often include hundreds of settings in the BIOS to adjust
the performance and stability of your computer. Many of these settings,
when improperly configured, can prevent the computer from booting. The
traditional way of resetting the BIOS when it doesn't boot is to open
the case and place a jumper on the motherboard or remove the battery for
several minutes. Most newer motherboards include a reset button near
the peripheral ports. The Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R uses this more
convenient method.
Instructions
Power down your computer by selecting "Shut down" in the Windows task
bar or press the power button on your case for four seconds. Leave the
power cable plugged in and the switch on the back of your case in the
"On" position.
Press the "Clr CMOS" button on the back of your computer for five
seconds until the computer boots. The button is located with the
peripheral ports between a USB port and the coaxial S/PDIF port.
Press the "Delete" key when your computer starts up to enter the BIOS setup.
Pressing the "Clr CMOS" button while the computer is powered on could result in data loss.

For starters windows installed in 32bit will only ever use 2-3gig of ram you have to install it in 64 bit ok and when ya done that if ya still got probs type back and make sure you vote nicely cheers from Scott
Check CPU and GPU power connection, also try to install ram to another slot. Did you connect speaker? maybe there some beep codes to clarify error type.
You may go on line to Tweaking.com and download their Windows repair program (Free Version) as this program digs deep into all areas of the computer. The reason I suggest that is because some of the code used to locate hardware and various functions are fixed. If the motherboard is new, the BIOs are up-to-date or more recent and they should locate the devices at boot time. Other than that, replace the MB as long as its under warranty.
Yes, you can put any Pentium 4 or Celeronsocket 478 processor in there, including those with an 800MHz FSB onthe processor. Don't waste your time with only a faster FSB unless youjust happen to have one laying around, the performance won't improvethat much. This one is $50 from Newegg.
Upgrading the components is not overclocking. Overclocking is when youforce the components to run faster than they are rated for. Yourmotherboard is set up to allow this, through the BIOS. Severaloverclocking features areintegrated into the BIOS, including the ability to adjust the FSBfrequency, and the Vcore, DDR, and AGP voltages.
If you choose to overclock, be prepared to make frequent changes toachieve best performance vs. stability. I would suggest upgrading yourcooling to the best you can afford as well. Your PC may lock up orrefuse to boot for no apparent reason if you overclock. Be preparedfor that and know what to do about it before you start youroverclocking career.
