Frequently Asked Questions - GA-H55M-S2 GIGABYTE

How to install RAM memory?

Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord. Open the clips of the DDR3 DIMM slots. Align the notch of the module with the key of the slot and insert it vertically until the clips snap into place. For dual channel, install two identical modules in slots DDR3_1 and DDR3_2.

How to clear CMOS values?

Turn off the computer and unplug the power. Use the CLR_CMOS jumper: place a jumper on the two pins for a few seconds (or use a screwdriver to short them). Return the jumper to its default position (on a single pin). You can also remove the CR2032 battery for one minute.

What do the beeps emitted at startup mean?

The Award BIOS beep codes are: 1 short beep = successful startup; 1 long, 2 short = monitor or graphics card error; 1 long, 3 short = keyboard error; continuous long beeps = graphics card not inserted properly; continuous short beeps = power supply error.

How to enable dual channel mode for memory?

Dual channel mode is automatically enabled when two identical modules are installed in slots DDR3_1 and DDR3_2. Use modules of the same capacity, brand, and speed for optimal performance.

How to update the BIOS?

Two utilities are available: Q-Flash (accessible at startup by pressing F8) allows updating from a USB key without an operating system. @BIOS is a Windows utility that downloads and installs the latest version from the Internet.

Why is the screen black after power on?

First check that the graphics card is properly inserted (or use the D-Sub port if the CPU has integrated GPU). Make sure the monitor is on and connected. Also check that the power supply is properly connected (ATX_12V and ATX connectors). If the problem persists, try to reset the CMOS.

How to connect the front panel cables?

Locate the F_PANEL connector on the motherboard. Connect the cables according to the pinout: Power SW (switch), Reset SW, Power LED (pay attention to polarity), HDD LED and Speaker. Consult the manual for the exact pinout.

How to install the CPU cooler?

Apply a thin layer of thermal paste on the CPU. Place the cooler aligning the four pegs with the holes on the motherboard. Press diagonally on each peg until you hear a click. Connect the fan power cable to the CPU_FAN connector.

How to configure 5.1 channel sound?

Install the Realtek audio driver. Open the HD Audio Manager. Connect speakers to the corresponding jacks (front: green, rear: black, center/sub: orange). In the 'Speaker Configuration' tab, select 5.1 channels. Use a front audio module to enable additional channels.

What to do if the computer does not start?

Follow the troubleshooting procedure: 1) Disconnect all peripherals and cables. 2) Check that the motherboard is not short-circuited with the chassis. 3) Ensure the cooler is properly attached and the fan spins. 4) Check that memory is properly installed. 5) Reinsert the graphics card. 6) If nothing works, clear the CMOS and try again.
