I picked myself up one of these boards and will be building the system tomorrow (Saturday). This will be the first time in five years that I'll be running an AMD-based system (yay!) but I have a couple of questions... How good is the onboard Realtek ALC655 audio that this motherboard has? Would I...

Hi, My motherboard is a Gigabyte 8SIMLA with Q-Flash "... a pre-O.S. BIOS flash utility enables users to update its BIOS within BIOS mode, no more fooling around any OS." I want two things. One, Gigabyte should employ someone who is competent with both computers and English.

Just replaced my epox 8k3a+ with the above board, its fitted with an Athlon XP2500 Barton running on a 166mhz bus. with an AX7 Thermalright heatsink/Artic Silver 3 compound. The core voltage is set @ 1.65v but the sensors read 1.75v (both in bios & windows), and the CPU is becoming unstable @...

I got this board as a replacement for my BX2000+ but it has only a BootBlock in the BIOS and when I try to load AMIBOOT.ROM it reads for a few seconds and then beeps 7 times (this code says No Flash EPROM Detected). Does anyone have any ideas on this one? I can't seem to get any of these to boot...

Anyone in this NG is or has used the GA 8ITXE motherboard. Is it a good one? Perhaps I should have asked earlier. I have a P4 1.9 GHz Intel CPU running on Abit THII (no raid) mother board and it gave up the ghost after 2 years. I have changed the motherboard to GA 8ITXE, But I find the computer is...

I have some problems in using the USB2.0 ports with my PC. I have a GA-8SG667 motherboard and it "seems" to support the USB2.0 standard (I have a total of 6 USB2.0/1.1 ports). I have WindowsXP SP1, so i haven't installed any external driver because it natively supports USB2.0. When I try to connect...

I have a GA-7VM400M board, the original I think. Every so often when I boot the system it won't post, just sits there. I can reset it a couple of times and it will eventially boot and runs stable for weeks on end, literally. Any ideas on why it has these intermitent posting...

I have a GB 8INXP w/ 1GB DDR RAM in it (PC2700). Sometime I get program errors saying something to the effect that one thing was expected, but it received another and that the particular part of the memory "couldn't be read". The main program I get this in is ACDSee, but I have seen it every now...

Hi, while the system (P4 3,2 - 1024 MB TwinMos) is booting, no pci cards are recognized. I´ve tried to put them in different slots but it´s always the same. Sometimes the cards were recognized - sometimes not. I´ve set the bios to defaults - get the newest bios F8 - cleaned the contacts of the...

Has anyone able to use this BIOS? It didn't allow changing of bus speed or any paremeters for that matter. I had to go back to F1

Help, I'm trying to add a high speed disk controller (Silicon Image 680 RAID) to my BX2000+ card and it finds the attached drive but refuses to boot to it. When I put the controller card in (and disable the promise controller) it won't even boot to the floppy. Just locks up after finding the...

I built a PC using a GA-K8NNXP-940 and FX53 retail . . . the CPU was showing 70C in the BIOS and was running 80C under 100% CPU, I have read of others having the same problem. Case temp seems OK and the CPU heatsink is not quite too hot to touch . . . I think the motherboard is mis-reading...
