With the help from Paul on a previous thread regarding how to upgrade my existing computer from 1 to 2 gigs, I purchased ONE 1-gig (single sided) PC 2700 Kingston KVR333X64C25/1G chip. My computer had 2- DDR 512mb PC2700 HyperX Kingston chips (double sided). I placed the new chip in slot three...

OK, so theres now just one last problem. Cant seem to get my CPU to run at a good speed? I have an AMD Athlon XP 2800+ installed in my GA-7N400 Pro2. With default BIOS settings it reads as a 1500+ cpu on boot-up, so I changed the BIOS cpu frequency to 166Mhz. Now on boot-up it reads correctly as a...

I recently got a hold of a GA-6VA7+ to put in an older AT tower case. I didn't realize that Gigabyte doens't use pin headers for USB & PS/2 mice interfaces like everyone else. The user manual gives the pinouts for the USB header but does not give the pin out for the PS/2 mouse interface. ...

Hello, does somebody have experience with the new 4 Level Smart Fan of the Gigabyte K8-Boards (K8N Pro, K8VT800 Pro)? Can somebody explain the features of the new 4 Level functionality? Gigabyte support sais, it means only, that 4 Fans are supported by Board bios. Is that all? Moritz

I could not get my sata raid array to work. It would not see the drives. However I did get the intel array working. I would like to use the sata raid though. But when I put my cables on the sata I and II connectors it would not go into setup or boot. Anyone else with this problem?

Hi there everyone, I am very very new to this group as I only got my computer put together in the last couple of days with a Gigabyte 7N400Pro and an Athlon XP2700. My friend who built my machine has the same setup and his worked fine straight away. Mine, on boot up, recognises the CPU as an...

You've found it.

Hello, I would like to know if this motherboard will work with this configuration list (stuff I am about to get) and old parts (e.g., TV tuner PCI cards, SB Audigy 2 ZS, IDE drives from my current primary/gaming computer setup (see http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/computers.txt ). I...

Hi, I upgraded a to new Mobo with twin SATA raid hard drives last year. I had a number of problems which I think where down to the SATA chip (most obvious was that often when warm booting it would refuse to recognise the SATA drives). Anyway, last week the boot partition became corrupted so I...

Hello : I'm something of a neophyte with building. I purchased this mother board, a new case, and an Athlon 1800 some years ago and have had trouble free service fom it. Recently I added some additional RAM (512) K in one strip and purchased a Sempron 3000+ (Barton Core) from Newegg. Upon...

I have a trusty USB stick which I have used for the last two years with no problems. Today it is suddenly an unrecognized device on each of 4 different USB sockets connected to my Gigabyte 8KNXP rev 2 motherboard. (Windows XP, SP2) It works perfectly in my wife's (my old :-) ) Gigabyte 8KNXP rev...

Computer shuts down after a few minutes. To restart, I have to drain the residual power on the motherboard, before anything starts up (turn power 'off 'on power supply & turn power 'on' on case). I don't see anything obvious wrong. i.e. jammed fan, overheating, etc. P4 2.53 gig GSQ800 MB 1gig...

Hello, I have a very loud roaring noise coming from my computer. After testing all the fans, it appears that the noise is coming from the one with Gigabyte 8x AGP on it. When I did a startup without it plugged up, it was super quiet. I plugged it back in and it sounds like a truck again. Can this...

I've built a new computer around the GA-8KNXP Ultra-64. I have an ASUS DVD-E616P1 with an ACard AEC-7900A SATA-to-IDE Converter, a Plextor PX-712SA (SATA) DVDRW, and three Western Digital SATA hard drives (2 WD740GD Raptors and 1 WD2500JD). As you can see they are all SATA devices. One would think...

Don't bother!

This MB was originally set up using only the pri and sec IDE channels. PriM 80gb HD, PriS 80gb HD, SecM CDRW and SecS iomega zip 250. I now want to add a DVD player. What would be the easiest way to configure all hardware? Put both HD on a raid and use the CD,DVD and zip on the IDE channels? Would...

Gigabyte GA-7ZXE board, does this enable "memory interleaving" by default? Nothing in the manual and the form of Gigabytes doesn't send. Appreciate any input.
