Is there a utility to flash the bios of the onboard silicon image sata controller? Its bios is 4.1.35c and the seagate barracude 120 has data corruption problems. I installed a pci silicon image controller and had to flash its bios(it came with 4.1.34!!) to 4.2.15 in order to make it work with the...

The two main usb ports on the mobo work fine, but I connected the extra 4 usb ports from the 2 additional usb sockets on the mobo but they don't work at all. Any ideas? They are enabled in bios.

Hi .. I have just built a system using a gigabyte 7vm400am-rz motherboard,sempron 2600+ and a western digital 160 GB SATA HDD. However i am unable to get the LED on the case to light up, I have tried both polarities on the LED and also tested the HDD LED by putting it in place of the power LED...

Hi I've just upgraded my aging PC with a 7VM400AMF board, 512Mb 333 RAM and a Sempron 2800 CPU. I just can't get it to work. If I have the CPU clock switch set in the Auto position I get a two-tone beep and the PC switches OFF. If I have it set to the 100Mhz position the BIOS reports the CPU as...

I am looking at purchasing a PC with this Gigabyte MB for use with AMD 288+ CPU and 512 DDR333 RAM. Any comments appreciated.

I've just built a system around this board and I can't get it to recognise the proper processor speed ( athlon xp 3000+ ) . In the frequency/voltage part of the BIOS it won't let me change the CPU clock to anything above 132mhz and that just makes it hang. What CPU speed should I be using and how...

I have a mainboard gigabyte 7vrx with bios version F6. I have upgrade bios to F8b version and my modem ISDN PCI begin to breck connection to internet after few minute and block telephon line. I try to upgrade bios to version F7 but the problem not disappear. Only with F6 version I work fine. I...

Hello Friends, I just rebuilt the system above for somone, and when you tell the system to shutdown... it shuts off. for about 4 seconds, then it powers itself up again. I have not seen this happen before. Is there some magic APM setting in the BIOS that will make or prevent this

Hi! I got two big problems with my GA-7VRXP: 1) RAID: I connected two Samsung harddisks (SP1614N) at the onboard RAID-controller (Promise Fasttrack133 Lite), created an array (settings: performance, desktop) and installed a clean Windows XP + SP2. System runs fine so far but I got no speed gain...

I am helping a friend do a format/reinstall of XP-pro on his system. I can't get Win Setup to recognize the RAID. The RAID is configured with 2 WD-80GB disks in mirror configuration. There is also a single WD-160GB USB disk (this is the only disk setup every sees). I made a floppy with the...

I've got a 7VRXP Rev 1.1 Currently it's got an old XP1700+ and a 512megs PC2700 RAM. I'm looking at slapping in a new CPU and another 512megs of RAM. What's the best CPU that I can mount on this board?

I have a 7VRXP and it's been a hugely reliable and stable board since I gave it a beefy power supply. I want to do a reinstall and I reckon fresh drivers are key, but Gigabyte's site only offers drivers for the 7VRXP 2.0 and I have a 1.1... What do I do now? O_o Not keen on risking the wrong...

I have a Gigabyte 7VRXP with two 80GB HDD in Raid-0 under WinXP. How can I tell if they are operating under ATA 133? Thanks.

Old I know but works for the most part... I keep losing USB connections on this board. For example all of a sudden my USB keyboard or mouse loses connection (no response from mouse of keystrokes). I have to unplug/plug them. I've updated the latest drivers, and Win2k/SP4 updates. I have a 400W...

GA-7vt600 1394 Does anyone know where this motherboard is available for purchase? The GA-7vt600L is widely avaible, but I have only seen the 1394 version listed at a New Zealand site. I live in the USA THANKS, B.

I had a 7VAXP which I moved from my workstation to my server. Funny thing happened when I moved it. Instead of putting in an AGP card, I installed a dinky PCI video card. I noticed the thing wouldn't boot. Fans would jerk for a moment and then nothing...but the amber light on the mb stayed on. So I...

Hi, Since few days, my computer stop working. When it run, after some times (10mn, 30mn, few hours), it beeps and stop immediately. This is four times one long beep and one short beep, in dual tones. I've no idea about this trouble. Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi all, This is a very smooth board. However, one thing: Looking at the CPU temp reported in EasyTune4 - CPU 55C Comparing with Speedfan 4.17 - CPU 43C Could it be that ET4 reports CPU's on-die temp? feedback appreciated! Steve

I had one 184-pin 512 MB DDR PC2100 RAM module installed and now I want to add another 512MB stick. When I add a second module of the same RAM (184-pin 512 MB DDR PC2100 RAM ), the system just doesn't see it. It sees the original 512MBs, but it doesn't see the new RAM. I've tried different...
